Description: |
The Mobile Parapet Barrier is a portable guardrail device that satisfies OSHA guardrail require-ments. It eliminates the need for protective parapet walls or worker fall protection equipment. Workers use it to service light fixtures and cameras mounted at the roof edge and to inspect, repair, and maintain roof drains, cant strips, and cap flashings. The Barrier is easily moved from one work task to another on its four caster wheels. Aluminum wheel plates placed under the casters prevent roof damage when the Barrier is stationary on tar and gravel roofs. It folds into a compact and bal-anced shape for transport. Both side panels have 100 pounds of counterweight to prevent over-turning. It weighs 140 pounds without counterweights. |
