KITE FREESTANDING ROOF EDGE PROTECTION SYSTEM is a permanent, modular, self supporting guardrail system that is placed on a flat or corrugated roof surface, now comprising of Moulded Recycled Plastic Weights.
Our permenant Edge Protection System is entirely Freestanding so there is no need for drilling or penetration of the roof covering. The system is supplied in a kit form ready to build and the modular components are QUICK and EASY to link together.
Our Recycled Plastic Weights have a longer life span and are less suseptible to environmental conditions.
Our unique Freestanding Roof Guardrails provide a safe environment for roof visitors who are working on flat roof areas, maintaining equipment such as air conditioning units, water tanks and aerials etc.
Stability is provided by cantilever counter balance weights and our patent pending system can be easily installed around the complete roof perimeter or as a guide rail for a specific area or piece of equipment to provide a permanent safe working area.
Available in complete systems or individual components with Recycled Plastic Weights.
