Being on the roof comes with added challenges and exposure – a universal guardrail system protects workers when they need to be on the roof. This system rents in 10′, 7’6” and 5′ galvanized rail sections, but powdercoat yellow is available for purchase. They exceed all OSHA requirements of 200 lbs side force without failure and, best of all, they are 100% made in the USA. All base plates must be located a minimum distance of 18″ for a “no curb”/parapet leading edge, or opening if the work location has a curb or parapet edge, the base can be placed perpendicular against the rise of the structure.
