Guardrail and walkway
Kattsafe guardrail and walkway systems provide safe, compliant access across rooftops and areas close to a fall edge. Each system combines a high strength roof guardrail with lightweight aluminium walkway mesh to create a secure and clearly defined access path for personnel working at height.
These aluminium roof walkway systems improve slip resistance, reduce roof loading and provide long term durability in harsh Australian conditions. These walkways and roof railing systems require no specialist PPE or training and deliver a reliable, low maintenance solution for any site that needs safe access to roof mounted plant or equipment.

Product overview
Kattsafe guardrail and walkway systems provide permanent fall protection and a designated access route to rooftop plant and equipment. The roof guardrail creates a continuous safety barrier, while the walkway mesh protects the roof surface and provides a stable, high traction surface for maintenance personnel. The low profile design reduces visual impact on small and large roof structures and can be supplied with a fold down option for projects where aesthetics are a priority.
All guardrail and walkway systems are designed to meet AS/NZS 1657 requirements for permanent roof access and fall protection.

Access hatch guardrail kits provide safe access to and from rooftops
Access hatch guardrail kits provide a safe and compliant zone for users entering or exiting rooftop areas. These systems are compatible with both sliding and hinged roof access hatches and integrate directly with Kattsafe aluminium walkway mesh and roof guardrail systems.
These kits form part of a complete aluminium roof walkway system, ensuring users remain protected as they transition from internal access points to rooftop walkways. Options are available for metal deck and concrete mounting applications, and the kit can be paired with the GW390A self closing gate for added security and fall protection.
)
Fold down roof guardrail
The fold down roof guardrail is an ideal choice for projects where visual impact must be reduced without compromising safety or compliance. Available for both concrete and metal deck roofs, the system allows the roof railing to be lowered when not in use while still delivering full protection when required. This is suited to architectural sites, public buildings and any location where aesthetics and safety must be balanced.
