Safety Systems for Telecom & Data Facilities

Most telecom buildings and data warehouses have massive HVAC systems or chiller units on the roof to keep servers and other sensitive electronic equipment cool and operating correctly.

Fall safety protection must be provided for personnel performing maintenance or repairs on these rooftop systems, and Dakota Safety provides customized solutions designed for these high-access environments.

Best-Fit Applications

  • Rooftop chiller and HVAC maintenance zones
  • Telecom buildings with dense rooftop equipment
  • Data warehouses with limited rooftop access paths
  • Equipment platforms requiring modular rail systems

Rooftop Fall Protection Systems

Portable & Non-Penetrating Rails

Flexible protection for rooftop maintenance

Dakota Safety offers portable fall protection systems that can be used as permanent or temporary safety measures and moved from one work area to the next.

We also provide non-penetrating guardrails that install without drilling holes in your roof, helping reduce installation complexity and roof disruption.

Kwik Guard & Kwik Rail

Modular rails for chiller units

For personnel working on top of actual chiller units, Dakota Safety offers Kwik Guard and Kwik Rail modular safety handrails.

These systems can be customized to fit equipment dimensions and install using standard anchor bolts and structural pipe fittings.

RF Transparent Systems

Specialty rails for telecom environments

To help prevent unwanted interference, Dakota Safety offers guardrail systems with fiberglass rails.

These specialty systems are fully RF transparent and well suited for telecommunications applications.

Access & Warning Solutions

Ladders, warning lines, and higher-load options

All Dakota Safety guardrail systems are OSHA-compliant and rated for up to 200 lbs. structural load, with D300 Series options available at 300 lbs.

Access ladders with safety cages and permanent or temporary visual warning lines can also be provided for elevated access and roof elevation changes.
