RoofSafe Fall Protection Anchor for Standing Seam Roof Systems

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Fall protection anchors for standing seam roofs

The design of the fall protection anchor is neat and unobtrusive, limiting any visual impact to the building. Anchors are constructed from high grade alloy and can be colour coated to match the roof finish.

Aluminium used to make the fall protection roof anchors provides excellent future potential for recycling, uses sustainable resources in the production process and has a high level of corrosion resistance. In addition customers benefit from reduced freight charges as consignments of these fall protection roof anchors are lighter then other products and the roof anchors are easier to handle during installation works.

This fall protection roof anchor can be used on the following roof constructions:

Aluminium 300mm to 500mm profiles. 0.7mm material gauge
Steel 300mm to 500mm profiles. 0.7mm material gauge

Roof sheets should be non-fragile and validated as suitable for installation through testing or calculation.

Fall Protection Roof Anchor Installation

The fall protection roof anchors are easily fitted from the top of the roof structure using aluminium clamps which do not penetrate the roof sheet. The number and size of clamps have been calculated to counter the overturning moment applied by the roof anchor in the first stage of activation and resist the shear load in the second stage of activation when the energy absorber deploys.

Clamps are available to suit a range of different standing seam roof profiles. All offer non-penetrative fixing solutions.

Fall Protection Roof Anchor Structural Validation

Uplift forces, fall protection roof anchors Fall protection roof anchors can only be installed on roof systems that have been validated as capable of supporting the distributed loads applied in the event of a fall. Uniline offer alternative solutions for roofs which are not suitable for fall protection roof anchors.

This predictable distributed load can be used to validate the roof systems suitability for use as a structural anchor and is typically less than 1kN/sq.m.
