Temporary aluminium parapets for pitched roofs
Quick-fit modular aluminium balustrade for pitched roofs in classes A / B / C. Ideal for temporary construction sites.
The protective railing for the edges of pitched roofs is made of lightweight aluminium alloy, which is easy to install and suitable for intensive professional use.
A safe solution for workers working at height.
It complies with Italian and European regulations on roof edge protection.
It is suitable as temporary edge protection in accordance with the requirements of EN 13374 2013 A1 CLASS A, B, C, for roof slopes of up to 60°.
It is used at workplaces and access routes on roofs with a slope of more than 20° and up to 60°, provided that the distance to the falling edge (gutter) is more than 3 m.
It can be used on flat or pitched roofs, wide or narrow gutters.
It is a fall protection to ensure a safe working environment.
It is also suitable for roof slopes between 0° and 20°.
The height of the gutter is generally not limited for the use of the system.
PLUS:
- Quick assembly compared to traditional products
- Small transport footprint
- There is no need to drill the wall as it works on the gutter and on the wall
COMPONENTS
- Aluminium mast (11 Kg) adjustable from 2.60 m to 3.50 m. A key advantage we offer over our competitors is the innovative additional reinforcement. This reinforcement not only provides consolidation of the structure, but significantly extends the life of the product. This additional reinforcement ensures that the product withstands the stresses of daily use with reliable performance for several years.
- Reversible aluminium railing: length 3 m, height 1 m, weight 11.5 kg
- Aluminum toeboard: 300x15x2 cm. Weight Kg 4,5
- Adjustable hook bracket made of Class C steel according to DIN EN 13374. It must be used for all roof slopes, but is mandatory for slopes from 30° to 60°. Weight Kg 1,5
- Thermal insulation protection plate: it is used to protect the insulation by distributing the thrust of the Upright over the entire surface of the plate.
- Steel container (optional) on request to make a complete 30 m KIT transportable by vehicle. Quick and convenient transport, loading and unloading. No lost components.
WHEN THE TEMPORARY PARAPET CAN BE USED
Most buildings are suitable for the use of this system.
However, there are some situations where the system is not suitable.
Therefore, always check that the following prerequisites are met.
1 - ON A ROOF EDGE:
- A roof edge with a crown of at least 6 cm is required for the system to be attached.
- The roof edge and façade must be stable enough to withstand the load of fall protection.
- The edge of the roof should preferably have an aluminium profile behind which the plastic protection of the boom can be hooked to prevent the mast from lifting.
- The base of the upright must rest completely on the load-bearing façade.
2 - ON A GUTTER:
- The gutter should be positioned so that the post can fit into it.
- The gutter and its supports must be sufficiently stable, as must the façade.
- The gutter should have a reinforced (embossed) edge or similar feature, behind which a plastic block prevents the post from lifting. This ensures that the post cannot be lifted out of the gutter.
- The base of the system must be able to rest completely and firmly on the load-bearing façade.
- The system is generally suitable for appropriate roof edges and for cassette or hanging gutters made of zinc or copper with sufficiently stable gutter supports.
- The gutter supports or the substructure of the roof edge panels must be securely fastened and must not exceed a maximum distance of 80 cm (center to center).
- The system is not suitable for plastic gutters.
- A properly installed system must comply with local and European requirements (EN 13374, Class C).
If you have any doubts about the stability of the gutter, its supports and/or the substructure, you should use the safety base plate which is installed separately and serves to securely support the post:
SAFETY BASE PLATE: If there is no gutter or if it is not stable enough, it is necessary to check on a case-by-case basis whether the roof edge is suitable for the safe use of the system.
If the gutter or roof edge cannot withstand the load in an emergency, the additional use of the safety base plate is recommended.
The safety base plate allows the system to be used even in cases where the gutter structure is not load-bearing.
