Rooftop Catwalk Walkway Built with ErectaStep

SafeRack recently completed a custom rooftop walkway installation using ErectaStep’s modular access system. The project was designed to connect two raised platforms across the rooftop, providing safe, efficient passage over rooftop obstacles.

Key Features of the Installation:

• Platform Connection: The walkway bridges two elevated platforms to streamline rooftop operations.
• 
  Modular and Adjustable: Lightweight aluminum components adapted easily to variations in rooftop height and slope.
• 
  Removable Handrails: Integrated handrails provide OSHA-compliant fall protection but can be removed when needed for maintenance or rooftop
• access flexibility.
• 
  Roof Membrane Protection: Walkway supports distribute weight evenly, helping prevent damage to the roof surface.
• 
  OSHA Compliance: The system meets OSHA 1910 Subpart D standards for walking-working surfaces.
• 
  Quick Installation: Modular bolt-together assembly ensures fast field adjustment without welding.

This installation illustrates how SafeRack delivers full-service rooftop safety solutions, from design consultation to final walkthrough .

When it comes to rooftop access, rely on SafeRack and ErectaStep to keep your team safe and your facility compliant.

Why Choose ErectaStep for Rooftop Access?

ErectaStep Rooftop Walkways are manufactured with high-strength aluminum, providing a corrosion-resistant, lightweight platform that meets OSHA 1910 Subpart D standards for walking-working surfaces. Engineered for rooftop safety, these systems create a level, clearly defined path across roofs with varying slopes, height changes, and obstacles.

Key advantages include:

• Modular Design: Configurable to suit your rooftop layout. Components bolt together easily on-site, adjusting to changes in height, slope, and direction.


• Protects Roofing Membranes: Walkways distribute weight evenly, minimizing pressure points that could damage roofing systems.


• Durability: Made from marine-grade aluminum with optional powder coating for extreme environments.


• Safety First: Integrated handrails, non-slip surfaces, and compliance with OSHA regulations ensure maximum protection for maintenance teams and contractors.

Performance and Installation Benefits

ErectaStep Rooftop Walkways are field adjustable, enabling quick adaptation to on-site conditions without heavy equipment or welding. The modular platform system installs rapidly, reducing rooftop downtime and labor costs while ensuring a consistent, professional installation every time.

The system can span over pipes, expansion joints, ductwork, and other rooftop equipment, providing uninterrupted, safe access paths that improve workflow and reduce risks of slips, trips, and falls.

Compatible with virtually all roof types including membrane, metal, EPDM, and TPO systems.
