Freestanding, Fixed and Folding Guardrail Systems
The Parapet Support Upright is designed to clamp to a raised parapet. Its modular design allows it to be clamped onto varying thicknesses of parapet wall. The threaded clamp feet can be adjusted to suit as well as altering the length of the tube between the two sections. It can be supplied with an adjustable Top Riser Unit meaning the height can also be altered accordingly. If the parapet is high enough, you may only require a single rail which can be supplied also. Made from 2mm x 48.30mm steel tube, which has a hot dipped galvanised coating.
To mechanically fix to the parapet you will require our Top Fixed Support Upright

Pressford Safety Services, a safety and maintenance at height specialist, used 330Lm of our Rhinorail Freestanding System for their project at the Times Square Building on Queen Victoria Street, London.
The freestanding rail allows for full flexibility of design, as there is no need to drill into any structures. The quick and easy install meant the building had a suitable roof safety system set up in minimal time, with no noise disruption, thanks to the zero drill requirements of the railings.
Held fast by the 20kg counterweights, the continuous freestanding system covered the entire perimeter of the roof, using a mixture of 90 deg swept bends and variable elbows to suit.
The roof had a pre-installed cradle track which in some areas ran very close to the roof edge. This didn’t stop the system being installed continuously as the components that make up the freestanding kit can be easily manoeuvred into place.
The full perimeter system ensures that maintenance contractors accessing the roof can carry out surveys and repairs wherever necessary and know they are 100% protected from any falls or injury.
