Safesite Suregrip Walkway System
SUREGRIP WALKWAY SYSTEM
Working on roofs can be extremely dangerous, especially in wet or wintry conditions.
Safesite's Suregrip provides a means of access to and across roofs, allowing maintenance or emergency work to be carried out in complete safety, even in hazardous conditions.
Ideal for use on flat, cladded or fragile roofs, Safesite's Suregrip is an adaptable free standing walkway system. The system is constructed from weathergrade UPVC material which prevents deterioration from exposure to the elements. The UPVC material also includes a unique patented non-slip surface which provides a sure footing along the length of the system.
The system is completely free standing and does not require any fixing through the roof membrane. Stainless steel bolts join the components together to provide a maintenance free system. When required, Suregrip can be easily removed to allow routine roof work, such as gutter cleaning, to be carried out.
Suregrip is manufactured in standard white or brown 3 metre lengths and is available in eight standard widths. 'T' bearers on each plank transfer the load of the walkway to the roof membrane or deck. The system's flexible design allows all roof shape and sizes to be accommodated. Suregrip can also be cut and shaped to suite even the most awkward of roof details.
A Standard 3 metre panel length will require 9 pieces of T bearer running crossways. The HSE recommends minimum widths of 430mm (600mm when materials are being carried), although this may not be possible in a gutter situation.
