Frequently Asked Questions
How do the counterweights keep the rooftop stair system stable?

The system uses engineered counterweighted bases that balance the structure and prevent tipping or shifting. Combined with non-slip pads and wide contact points, they provide exceptional stability without fasteners or roof penetration.

Is this system compatible with all types of flat rooftops?

Yes. The non-penetrating design is suitable for most flat commercial and industrial roof types, including membrane, built-up, and coated systems. Neoprene pads protect the surface and help distribute weight evenly.

Are these systems OSHA and IBC compliant?

Absolutely. All configurations are pre-engineered to meet or exceed OSHA and IBC codes, including tread dimensions, platform width, and handrail requirements.

Can the system be reconfigured or relocated after installation?

Yes. The modular design makes it easy to adjust, expand, or relocate sections as your facility needs change—without requiring new roof penetrations or structural changes.

What Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

Priced within reason – even special order parts. Curtis and Cody were a lot of help FROM THE VERY START OF THE PROJECT. This was a special project and had to have special pieces made to order and SafeRack came through for us. The sales team worked with us because we had to break up order on different PO's. Items were priced within reason – even special order parts! Great quality material, fast delivery – some things come right off the shelf. Items were delivered within 10 days of placing the order.

Kim Anderson was very helpful. We were already using SafeRack products in our facility in Little Rock, AR. [SafeRack provides] a better way for employees to open manways on top of railcars. The purchasing experience was all positive, no negatives.

Made in the USA, Perfect product! It works, easy to install, well-written assembly instructions, bolt holes all line up PERFECT, I MEAN PERFECT. You have no idea how much of a difference it makes when products are machined to perfection. You have my recommendation. Not just because you make a great product, but because you listen to feedback and take it seriously instead of the usual it will never happen again" speech. I found that you act on feedback, which is a huge reason to continue being a repeat customer."
