RoofGuard Classic Standard Guardrail Kits (9′, 12', 18', 27')
Designed to eliminate fall protection concerns, while maximizing space; our Free Standing Truck Netting Systems are ideal for facilities that have multiple use bays, or where customers do not want to connect directly to the flatbed.
This simplistic design combines safety with functionality, as it can be operated by a single user and provides a soft catch barrier between personnel and the ground. Our Truck Netting System has been engineered to open or close easily, with no additional setup required for the netting panel. Arms fold out from the fixed columns and butt up against the side of the flatbed. No direct connection. Categorized as a passive system, our Truck Netting solutions require no training to operate and eliminate the need for the use of harnesses, lifeline systems, or overhead cranes.

SPECIFICATION SHEET
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the safety regulations?
- A worker shall be adequately protected by a guardrail system. Requirements for guardrails are found in the regulation for construction projects (s.26.1) . The regulation for industrial establishment (ss. 13 and 14) contains provisions for permanent guardrails. The regulation for construction projects provides that if it is not reasonably possible to install guardrails, a worker must be adequately protected by at least one of the following methods of fall protection:
- Safety net
- Travel Restraint system
- Fall Arrest System
- Fall Restricting System
What are the advantages of guardrail?
- More versatile than fixed-length steel rail systems.
- Stackable base plates.
- User friendly and ergonomic.
- Lower labor costs
- Everything on one skid (materials, tools, layout design) – low shipping costs.
- Price! More attractive pricing for distributor partners – higher selling margins.
- Aluminum rail systems “blend in” with the building and mechanical equipment.
What is the difference between active vs passive fall protection?
- Passive fall protection is the type of protection that does NOT require any action by people. Examples include: Guardrails, Safety Nets, etc.
- Active fall protection is the type of protection that requires training and direct connection to an engineered fall protection system or anchor point. Examples include: Body Harnesses and Lanyards, Anchor Points, etc.
- General rule: Try and develop protection that does not require active fall protection. “Engineer out the hazard”
Is this something I could install on my own?
- Yes, all of our systems include a user manual, custom drawing, and detailed installation instructions. If needed, we do offer installation as well.
What does a typical layout include?
- Arguably the easiest rooftop system on the market to install, all kits come with everything required to assemble this elegantly simple system.
- Typically consists of 9 ft rail sections and 6 ft returns (tie-backs).
- Returns have a minimum of 3 base plates on the end post to provide the necessary counterweight to allow the system to meet lateral force ratings.
- Returns are positioned at a MAXIMUM of 27 ft intervals (3 sections of 9 ft rails).
Questions to consider
- Are my rooftop openings properly guarded to comply with current working at heights laws?
- Am I, or any of my staff working within 6’ of the roof edge and require fall protection?
- Do I need access to multiple rooftop elevations?
- Are there trip hazards on my rooftop?
- Is there frequently accessed equipment on my roof that may pose a risk?

The Hierarchy of Fall Protection Solutions
Elimination of Hazards
- Whenever possible, remove the fall hazard itself.
- If there is no fall hazard, there’s no fall.
Passive Systems
- Do not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment or active participation from the worker.
- Include Guardrails or Netting Systems.
- A preferred choice for its ease of use without the need for additional training and PPE.
Fall Restraint
- Uses personal fall arrest equipment (harness, lanyard, a. anchor point) to stop the user from reaching the edge.
- This type of ttying-offi p the user from falling in the first place.
Fall Arrest
- When all other solutions are infeasible.
- Fall arrest uses the same equipment as fall restraint but the fall protection equipment engages after the fall happens
- When it engages, the equipment slows the workers descent, bringing them to a safe stop.
