Whether you need a permanent or temporary installation, standard guardrails are an ideal solution. This system provides a linear configuration.
The Metaltech standard freestanding guardrail system offers reliable, compliant collective protection for work at height, especially on flat roofs. Its anchor-free design eliminates any need to drill into the roofing membrane—an essential benefit to preserve waterproofing and prevent leaks.
Easy and fast to install, it relies on a stable weighted base equipped with non-slip foot pads that ensure excellent grip on all surfaces. Made from galvanized steel, the guardrail withstands harsh weather and demanding jobsite conditions.
Its modular configuration allows it to be adapted to the specific needs of each building and integrates seamlessly with other Metaltech solutions such as warning lines and safety nets.
