Manufacturing Facilities
Dakota Safety provides rooftop fall protection, in-plant guardrails, mezzanine gates, ladder access, and impact-resistant safety systems for busy manufacturing environments.
Built for High-Hazard Work Areas
Designed for fast-moving machinery, forklifts, mezzanines, rooftop equipment, and manufacturing spaces where safety and durability are critical.
Safety Systems for Manufacturing Facilities
There are few workplaces more potentially dangerous than manufacturing facilities. Fast-moving machinery, forklifts, mezzanines and other elevated areas, rooftop mechanical equipment, and other hazards are commonplace.
Dakota Safety helps keep employees safe and out of harm’s way with fall protection systems, self-closing safety gates, access ladders, guardrails, and more.
Best-Fit Applications
- Rooftop HVAC and mechanical equipment zones
- Factory floors with forklift traffic
- Mezzanines, storage racks, and elevated workspaces
- Paint booths, tanks, loading docks, and specialized work areas
Rooftop & In-Plant Safety Systems
Guardrails for rooftop equipment access
Many manufacturing plants place HVAC systems and other critical mechanical equipment on the roof to free up production space inside.
Dakota Safety provides passive rooftop guardrail and handrail systems that help eliminate the need for tie-offs and anchor points that can interfere with maintenance work.
Flexible systems for changing roof conditions
We offer non-penetrating guardrails that install without drilling holes in your roof, along with portable systems that can move between work areas.
Specialty roof edge railings are also available for metal roofs, clamping directly onto seams without special installation equipment.
Protection on the factory floor
Dakota Safety supplies high-visibility guardrails to protect equipment, shelving units, and traffic areas in busy manufacturing facilities.
Self-closing safety gates, loading dock gates, and horizontal or vertical mezzanine gates help prevent falls while maintaining access where needed.
Access solutions for elevated work
For added safety in elevated spaces, Dakota Safety offers access ladders with safety cages, mobile ladder stands, and crossover ladders.
Kwik Guard and Kwik Rail modular systems can also be tailored to fuel storage tanks, paint booths, and other specialized work areas.
