Rooftop Walkways, Work Platforms, and Crossover Platform Systems

Protect your roof … and keep your team safe

We understand the need to keep workers safe along with protecting the roof below them. This is why we offer Unistrut rooftop walkway systems, work platforms, and crossover systems.

Our rooftop systems:

  • Provide a safe walkway for rooftop traffic
  • 保护屋顶免受脚交通
  • Resist weather in either galvanized steel or aluminum finish
  • Attach to all metal standing seam roofs, including metric sizes

Our rooftop systems do not:

  • 穿透屋顶表面(肋屋顶除外)
  • Trap water or disappear in snow like rubber pads
  • 腐烂或崩解,如木头或露台块

了解有关Unistrut屋顶解决方案的许多方式可以帮助您节省时间和金钱的方式。

Easy to Assemble & Install

Unistrut rooftop walkway systems, access platforms, and crossover systems are available as factory assembled systems (for built-up, membrane and urethane foam systems only) or as assemble-on-site components.

Each system is built with lightweight metal grating and features special anchoring hardware requiring no roof penetration. Best of all, rooftop walkway systems and work platforms from Unistrut Service Company are versatile and adapt to virtually any roofing system.

Our designs are easy to assemble and install by one or two workers without the use of special tools, and in most cases, without using hoists or cranes.

Non-Penetrating Rooftop Clamps and Supports

保证安全的your employees and contractors while preventing damage to your roof can pose significant challenges. Rubber pads can trap water or become covered during snowy weather, while wooden structures or patio blocks don’t hold up well when exposed to heat and moisture. Walkways constructed from structural steel add significant loads to both the roof and the support structure below.

Unistrut rooftop walkways can attach to roof seams using non-penetrating clamps or rubber bases to allow workers of all sizes to safely walk on the roof in all types of weather without damaging the roof. These same systems work equally well on membrane, built-up, foam and coated roofs because the walkways protect against puncture, abrasion and wear while providing a safe, clearly defined, anti-skid walking surface.

There are a variety of mounting options available regardless of your roof’s composition or pitch.

Secure Installation on Standing Seam Rooftops

For standing seam roofs, each of our rooftop systems feature S-5! clamps to ensure a strong and safe, yet non-penetrating connection that won't harm your roof or void your warranty. Installation of our rooftop systems allows workers of all sizes to walk safely on the anti-skid surface without causing seam distortion, “dishing,” or harmful stress to the roofing panels.

The Versatility of Unistrut Channel

承包商长期以来,作为市场上最通用的建筑材料之一。建筑专业人员选择Unistrut,因为它很容易使用。

Thanks to the material’s innovative design, time-consuming fabrication steps such as cutting and welding are minimized or even eliminated during most installations. These benefits also make Unistrut an easy choice for people with little or no building experience.

Safety Steps, Treads and Platforms

Combine Unistrut framing channel with United Interlock Grating to create walkways and platforms that prevent skids, slips, and falls.

United Interlock Grating comes in two standard surfaces:slotted/smooth and anti-skid.

当安全行走条件很重要时,通常指定防滑。即使当光栅湿润,油性,泥泞或冰冷,横向肋骨中的模具变形齿也提供360°鞋夹持牵引力。

联合互锁光栅提供各种锌涂料:

  • 预镀锌锌(PG)
  • Electroplated (EG)
  • Perma-Gold(ZD)
  • Hot Dipped

Cost-Efficient Pre-Assembly

Unistrut reduces labor costs by minimizing time spent drilling and cutting. Unistrut also eliminates many of the headaches associated with inaccurate measurements during the quote phase (e.g., dimensional variations in areas assumed to be plumb and square). These surprises often require costly in-the-field modifications, especially when working with structural steel. Unistrut channel can save contractors time and money with its easy-to-assemble, modular design that reduces the need for cuts and welds.

But did you know Unistrut can be even more cost-effective thanks to pre-assembly? With walkway installations, pre-assembling the Unistrut to the grating can save hundreds of hours of labor.

Unistrut Service Company can kit, stage, and even pre-assemble significant portions of your installation in our shop to drastically save you time and money.

Engineered Rooftop Systems

The keys to any successful building project are twofold: the right materials and an easy-to-follow plan.

屋顶走道应用

走道是需要频繁检查和维护的地区的普通屋顶夹具。HVAC单位,空气处理设备和管道系统需要频繁访问,只是为了命名几个。访问这些系统造成了许多挑战,包括坠落危险以及由于行人脚交通而导致的屋顶损坏的潜力。

Walking directly on the roofing surface can cause punctures and excessive wear on rubber roofs (which typically voids the manufacturer’s warranty on membrane roofing materials). It can also cause seam distortion with excessive stress on metal roof panels.

Safe, secure rooftop walkways and platforms from Unistrut eliminate these problems while providing fall protection for your team.

Case Study: Engineered Rooftop System

使用此工程化屋顶系统,识别为客户提供安全屋顶访问的解决方案很容易,但真正的问题集中在谁应该完成构建。我们的客户的首选承包商不可用,因此客户选择在其设施维护人员的协助下完成该项目。

The specifics of the project are simple: the facility had a standing seam metal roof, and the client wanted to ensure that installation would not require any penetration of the roof surface. This is a common request, since even well-sealed holes are prone to eventual leaks.

Our client also required a skid-resistant walking surface, handrails, and shop drawings to complete their work. Although the infinite adjustability of Unistrut channel eliminates most cutting, this design did call for some cut-to-length material.

We performed this operation in our shop with our programmable production saw and then bundled all of the materials into clearly labeled lots so our customer could easily identify the needed pieces for each walkway section. The finished 500-foot walkway took about a week to complete.

One of the challenges with roof walkways is finding a way to secure the walkway without penetrating the roof surface. Our non-penetrating design concept usedUnistrut S-5!夹具to attach the base of the walkway to the roof. The clamps created a solid connection to the roof ribs, eliminating the need to drill holes that might cause leaks.

由于Unistrut夹紧系统的灵活性,人行道可以平行,垂直或对角线安装到站立缝屋顶上的肋骨图案。

The railings and base framing were constructed usingP1000,P1000T,P2346, 和P1068渠道。为了确保我们指定的安全走廊,可以站在雪和冰积累Unistrut Anti-Skid Grating(G11282, G12282, G9128) attached with G714 recessed washers and P3007 Channel Nuts.

正如DIY安装项目的情况一样,该领域存在一些意外的调整。由于在客户提供的原始草图中未呼出的结构干扰,人行道的一部分需要重新路由。幸运的是,Unistrut频道的模块化本质使得克服这些修改所呈现的挑战很容易。

By using our Design and Materials Program, our client received everything needed to make this project a success.

Case Study: OSHA-Compliant Rooftop Walkway

A client facility located in Pittsburgh, Pa., featured two buildings with pitched roofs that have been connected with a lower section of flat roof.

Building maintenance personnel required access to both sections of the roof to service HVAC equipment, but were able to access only one side prior to this project.

Due to this roof section's orientation to the sun combined with prevailing winds, the flat lower section tends to be shady and subject to ice buildup and drifting snow during winter months.

Unistrut Service Company field engineers did a site inspection and recommended a rooftop walkway to provide safe, efficient access to all of the HVAC equipment servicing this plant.

Using stock sections of Unistrut framing channel eliminated the need for cutting and welding. Welding on rooftops is particularly problematic because it requires one worker to weld while another watches for sparks flying from the work area. By using Unistrut materials, both workers are able to work on the fabrication of the walkway, which results in reduced labor costs and faster installation times.

The finished rooftop walkway was constructed from Unistrut P1000 and P1001 as well as United Interlock Grating. The rooftop walkway is 6 feet high and 2-1/2 feet wide and features toeboards and guardrails.

OSHA regulations pertaining to this installation include regulations 1910 and 1926. The rooftop walkway is OSHA-compliant and it has a mid-rail rated at 150 lbs. and a top rail rated at 200 lbs.
