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

★★★★

Customer service was great. We now comply with fall protection requirements. It keeps our guys safe. While these systems are expensive, the benefit outweighs the initial cost. Customer service was great – I had the drawings and assembly instructions a week before the rack arrived. Ray Evans was extremely helpful. Keep up the good work, SafeRack

My rep was very responsive and willing to solve tough problems to ensure I was satisfied. John Bast was very responsive, answered all my questions immediately. Engineering department had a tough time describing what they needed, once we worked through that issue everything went smooth.
