The Counterweighted Guardrail System is a freestanding, non-penetrating edge protection solution designed to provide reliable and compliant fall protection without anchoring or penetrating the roof surface. Using a combination of structural steel guardrail frames and engineered counterweights, this system delivers stability through ballast rather than mechanical fixation.
Engineered for flat roofs and sensitive surfaces, the counterweighted design eliminates the need for drilling, preserving roof membranes and waterproofing systems. The modular layout allows for quick installation, reconfiguration, and removal, making it ideal for both temporary and permanent applications in commercial and industrial environments.
When installed as a complete system, the counterweighted guardrail is designed to help meet or exceed applicable workplace safety requirements, including:
(Final compliance depends on system layout, ballast quantity, roof slope, and site-specific conditions.)
