Roofs with Changes in Level. Complex Roof Shapes. Safe access to equipment located at roof edge. Green RoofsLongevityPermanent Peace of Mind.The KeeGuard guardrail system provides permanent, free-standing and durable edge protection without penetration of the roofing membrane or the building structure. The hot-dipped galvanized finish is corrosion resistant and low maintenance for safe and dependable rooftop edge protection.AestheticsPowder Coated Colors.KeeGuard’s galvanized steel finish is corrosion-resistant and is available in a full range of powder coat RAL colors.
Our 11°Angled Railing tilts back out of sight so the roof line offers a clean view from the ground.CounterbalanceThe Physics of Cantilever Design.Modular and durable, our component-based solution uses counter-weight engineering. The simple cantilever principle provides unrivalled strength and safety. The heavy-duty KeeGuard bases are manufactured using molded, 100% recycled PVC.
KeeGuard® Installation InstructionsThe modular components of the KeeGuard Fall Protection Railing System typically allow two installers to install a 600 foot run in 8 hours once all the materials are on the roof.Be sure the locations of all the main uprights are free from stones and other loose debris.Position a KGU. Are toeboards available on the KeeGuard system? Yes, a toeboard can be supplied at the customer’s request. Can KeeGuard be used as an anchor? The KeeGuard system is not intended as an anchor and cannot be used as an anchor or tie off point to support any workers or equipment suspended off the roof.
Can the KeeGuard system be painted? KeeGuard components can be painted by the customer before or after installation. KeeGuard components are also available powder coated in any RAL color at the customer’s request (extra charges apply for powder coating).
Powder coating takes place prior to shipment. Can the KeeGuard system be used to protect snow removal workers on rooftops in cold climates?
Can the KeeGuard system be used to protect snow removal workers on rooftops in cold climates? Does the KeeGuard system comply with the current US safety regulations? The KeeGuard system has been tested to comply with, and exceed, all US & OSHA codes. Does the KeeGuard system offer advantages over a horizontal life line system or harness system?
KeeGuard Roof Edge Fall Protection Railing System is a passive, collective fall protection system which is preferred by safety consultants. Lives have been lost in work related falls resulting from workers not using harnesses properly. The KeeGuard system removes the potential of that risk. Harness systems require training and proper and regular use. The embedded anchor for a harness system could later leak and cause costly water damage. The worry of not enough harnesses for rooftop workers is eliminated. How do I buy the KeeGuard system?
Each KeeGuard System is individually engineered for your premises. For further information, call the US (1-800-851-5181) or Canada (1-877-505-5003) to speak to our KeeGuard sales desk.
Is KeeGuard more expensive than using a Harness/Tie Off system? The installed cost of KeeGuard is competitive with horizontal life line systems.
Is KeeGuard required by law? Building owners and employers are responsible for protecting their workers from any hazard encountered while on the job. In jobs requiring access to roofs for maintenance purposes, fall protection is usually required if workers will be exposed to a fall hazard. Will installation of KeeGuard reduce insurance premiums? Insurance premiums are often impacted by steps taken by the building owner to reduce hazards to their workers. More importantly, building owners’ liability will be strictly examined if an industrial accident occurs and preventative measures (such as KeeGuard) were not taken. Installation Questions Can the KeeGuard system be installed on a sloped roof?
The system can be used on any style of flat roof with a slope up to 3 degrees. How long does it take to install KeeGuard? Are special skills or tools required? With the use of the new KeeGuard open style fitting (standard), two workers with minimal experience and simple hand tools can be installed up to twice as fast as most other systems. All materials should be delivered to the rooftop using a hoist, crane or other mechanical method. No power tools are required. Is KeeGuard intended for temporary or permanent installation?
The system is intended as a permanent fall protection solution, however since it is a modular system, the system can be disassembled and moved if needed or for maintenance tasks. Technical Questions Are all the materials used in the KeeGuard system protected from corrosion? Galvanized pipe is used for vertical, horizontal and counterbalance supports and Kee Klamp fittings are all galvanized at our factory.
The grub screws used to assemble the fittings and pipes together are all protected by Kee Koat® which is a special corrosion resistant coating. KeeGuard fall protection system is engineered using special fittings and is designed to withstand a full range of outdoor conditions. How does the KeeGuard system stay on the roof if it isn’t bolted through the roof membrane? The system employs a tested and proven counterbalance system, the KeeGuard system (Patents in effect) is a roof edge railing fall protection system that keeps the workers on the roof without endangering the roof membrane itself. What prevents the counterweights from sinking into tar/gravel roof surfaces in hot climates?
Each KeeGuard counterbalance weighs only 30 pounds and has an insulating rubber pad on the underside which is installed at the factory. Each counterbalance is spaced sufficiently to make the entire system deliver less weight per square foot than the average worker who might have to walk on the roof.
Cable Railing with Stainless Side Mounted Posts And wooden top rail.A cable railing consisting of side-mounted stainless steel railing posts and Ipe (Ironwood) top rail. Note the clean lines, the color, and the smooth run of cable for the entire length of the railing. The cable goes around one 90-degree corner up the stairs and around another slight angle change. This was done from simple drawings of the deck by the home owner and we designed the layout of the railing system ending in what you see here.
The side-mounted cable railing posts create a clean line right up to the edge of the deck. This is a kit consisting of posts and cable supplied by us with the end user supplying the wooden top rail from local sources.The stainless steel railing posts are buffed to a light frosted color and chemically dipped to enhance the finish condition. The color creates a very neutral finish and allows the wood trim and surrounding materials to really stand out.(Click any thumbnail for a closer look.).
