KeeHatch® Railing

NextGen Lift & Lock™ Roof Hatch Opener

When personnel are on the roof, OSHA Standards 1910.28 and 1910.29 require that an open hatchway must be protected by a guardrail and gate. Our Kee Hatch® Railing System satisfies these Standards. Also, OSHA requires that you always have three points of contact while climbing or standing on a ladder. Locking a roof hatch with one hand while clinging to the top of the ladder is extremely dangerous. Our Lift & Lock roof hatch opener not only opens and closes the hatchway at the bottom of the ladder, it also conveniently locks the hatch from ground level.

The NextGen Lift and Lock™ Roof Hatch Opener is a failsafe roof hatch opener, unlike an electric or automatic roof hatch opener, as no batteries or electricity are required. Combined with railing and gates, these products provide total safety and convenience for your roof hatch openings.

Also keep in mind that after November 18, 2036, all fixed ladders must be equipped with a personal fall arrest system or a ladder safety system. Our NextGen SecuRope™ and SecuRail™ satisfy these requirements.

Schools, institutions, medical facilities, pharmacies, drug stores, big box stores and many others will benefit most from these solutions.
