KeeGuard Skylight Railing with no Counter-weights

Kee Guard^® Skylight Railing

Description

Kee Guard^® Skylight Railing is a free-standing, non-penetrating guardrail system that creates a protective barrier around skylights, roof-lights, and dome-lights. Kee^® base fittings and posts support a continuous top and mid rail, giving contractors and maintenance crews a safe way to access rooftops for repair and upkeep without risking a fall through the hazard.

The system meets OSHA Standards 29 CFR 1910.23 and 29 CFR 1910.66(a)(4) for skylight and roof opening protection. Rails extend 42" above the walking surface and are engineered to withstand 200 lbs. of force applied to the top rail. Because the system is modular and pre-cut for fast assembly, it can be configured around skylights of different sizes and shapes without cutting into the roof membrane or the skylight curb itself. Custom colors are available to match facility branding.
