Summit

Modular Free Standing Edge Protection

Safe, Compliant Edge Protection with Interclamp Summit

Rooftop guardrail systems are a critical component of any effective roof safety strategy, particularly for buildings with regular access requirements such as maintenance or inspections. Designed to prevent falls at height, these systems provide reliable, collective protection that significantly reduces the risk of accidents.

Interclamp’s Summit system offers a practical, non-penetrative solution that combines safety, durability, and ease of use, making it the ideal choice for facility managers, contractors, and building owners.

Setting the standard in rooftop safety railing

Summit has been independently tested and certified to the following international safety standards for roof edge guardrail systems:

  • BS 13700:2021 - Permanent Counterweighted Guardrail Systems
  • BS EN ISO 14122-3:2016 - Safety of Machinery - Permanent Means of Access to Machinery
  • BS EN 13374:2013 - Temporary Edge Protection Systems

Summit Key Features

Non-Penetrative 
The non-penetrative design removes the risk of leaks often associated with traditional systems that require fixing through the roof membrane. This eliminates the need for additional weatherproofing around posts while reducing installation risks, lead times, and overall costs
Adjustable and Adaptable
Thanks to its modular design, sections can be quickly installed or removed as needed. This flexibility allows the system to be easily reconfigured on-site to meet changing edge protection requirements or relocated for use in other areas.
Tested and Compliant to International Safety Standards
Complies with and surpasses the most stringent global safety standards, including BS and EN requirements for fall protection guardrails.
Wind Speed Calculations
All installations are assessed for wind loading to ensure full compliance with BS EN 13700, taking into account factors such as site location, building height, and surrounding topography.

Wind Speed Calculator

A legal requirement outlined in BS EN 13700 is that any permanent counterweighted guardrail installation must be supported by a site-specific wind load calculation. This involves assessing factors such as the building’s location, height, and level of exposure.

As a manufacturer of counterweighted edge protection solutions, Interclamp ensures that its RoofRail freestanding rooftop guardrail systems meet all relevant global standards and regulations, including BS EN 13700:2021.

Our experienced team can assist with accurate, site-specific wind speed calculations and offer support throughout every stage of your project, from planning through to installation.
