Roof safety scaffold for pitched roofs
When working on a pitched roof, the risk of falling increases with every degree of roof pitch. A roof safety scaffold for pitched roofs safely catches slipping persons and material at the eaves and creates a continuous catch level along the entire roof edge. CETRAC supplies system-compatible protection wall posts and safety nets for all common roof pitches - certified, available immediately from stock and compatible with Layher, Plettac, Hünnebeck, Rux & Co.
Roof safety scaffold for flat roofs
On flat roofs, too, fall protection at the roof edge is mandatory as soon as the fall height exceeds the permissible limits. This is where roof edge protection and safety railings come into play as part of the roof safety scaffold. CETRAC offers the right components for standard-compliant flat roof protection - flexibly combinable with facade and modular scaffolds.
Roof safety scaffold for gables, eaves & verges
Gables, eaves and verges are the critical points of any roof work. The roof safety scaffold is erected along the eaves as a catch level and, where required, supplemented with protection walls at the gable to prevent falls to the side. For the verge, we stock suitable brackets and protection wall posts. This allows roofers, carpenters and solar installers to secure the entire roof area without gaps.
Benefit from our enormous immediate availability for professional roof safety:
- System-compatible protection wall posts: Suitable for common systems such as Layher, Plettac or Rux.
- Large stock of side protection nets: Immediately available for regulation-compliant protection in accordance with DIN EN 1263-1.
- Extensive choice of decking: With almost 99,000 scaffold decks available (steel, aluminium, robust), we make sure your catch level is stable and secure.
- Accessories in abundance: Over 5,600 deck retainers and 15,000 couplers guarantee seamless assembly of your protective structure.
