ROOFWALK SOLUTIONS
For the sake of space planning, aesthetics, or practicality, industrial facilities will often locate HVAC and other equipment on the roof of their buildings. While this can solve issues inside the building, it creates a new set of challenges for maintaining the integrity and safety of the rooftop. Roofwalks are essential for providing access to rooftop equipment and ensuring that maintenance can be performed safely. These walkways help protect both workers from injury and the roof itself from damage, contributing to the overall longevity and functionality of the structure.
The Unistrut Roofwalks system installs without roof penetration and distributes weight loads evenly, reducing opportunities for damage to your roof. And the anti-skid surface and clear visibility keep your personnel safe.
Meet OSHA Approval
Unistrut rooftop walkway systems have several key features to keep employees safe while on the roof, helping to meet OSHA standards. The anti-skid surface prevents slippage, and the optional handrails prevent falls and keep workers away from the edge of the roof. Additionally, the kick plate helps prevent tools or hardware from falling off of the walkway or roof.
Improve Roof Integrity
Foot traffic can cause roof damage that leads to leaks and can mean not only fixing or replacing that section of roof but repairing internal damage as well. Unistrut Roofwalks provide a clearly defined, safe walking surface that is elevated from the roof’s surface, minimizing opportunities for damage.
No Rooftop Penetration Required
The standard standing seam Roofwalks are designed with connection hardware that attach the roof access walkway to the standing seam ribs. The only exception to our “no penetration” policy is panel rib roof type which have no standing seams.
Avoid Seasonal Weather Concerns
Flat, single-ply roofs can accumulate ice patches, and standing seam roofs especially pose a risk when covered in snow, hiding tripping hazards with every step. Unistrut Roofwalks have an anti-skid surface that helps workers avoid ice patches and the elevated walkway keeps them above the snow.
