THE SITUATION

Start with the roof seam and structure.

SG Series uses seam clamps to support a guardrail layout on compatible metal seam roofs. Roof profile, clamp compatibility, structure and required returns must be reviewed for each installation.

FIND THE RIGHT APPROACH

Plan edge protection and access together.

Seam-mounted guardrails and access platforms serve different purposes. Confirm roof compatibility, structural support and the work route before selecting.

SG Series

Seam-mounted edge guardrail

BEST FOR

Compatible standing-seam metal roofs with exposed edges.

SG Series clamps to suitable roof seams. Confirm the seam profile, clamp selection, structure and required end returns; compatibility is not universal.

Crossover Ladders

Access over rooftop obstacles

BEST FOR

Work routes interrupted by pipes, ducts or other obstacles.

Review obstacle dimensions, landing space and structural support. A crossover does not replace perimeter guardrails or protect every exposed roof edge.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT

What do we need for a recommendation?

Send close-up seam photos, a roof layout and the details below. We’ll help review the appropriate approach.

  • Roof manufacturer, panel profile, seam dimensions and roof slope.
  • Roof structure, condition and any manufacturer or warranty restrictions.
  • Exposed edge lengths, corners and space for required returns.
  • Access points, equipment locations and any crossover obstacles.
  • Permanent or temporary use, site photos and project timeline.
Discuss your project

Do not assume every metal roof accepts seam clamps. Confirm the panel profile, clamps, supporting structure and required guardrail layout for your site.
