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.

I simply place the order and everything else is taken care of. I just want to say how great everyone at SafeRack has been to us since we started using them for our gangways. Dana Hamor, Tom Semiklose and John Edwards have been very, very helpful and always respond quickly to my calls or e-mails and I have no doubt that everyone at SafeRack is just as great as they have been to me. The purchasing of a great quality gangway is not a problem anymore. I simply place the order and everything else is taken care of.
