561-CP Handrails Over Roof
Not every fall hazard sits at a ladder.
Long stretches of open roof, skylights, low parapets, and areas near mechanical units all carry risk too when workers cross them regularly on the way to equipment.
The 561-CP extends handrail protection across the roof surface itself, not just at the ladder access point.
It’s designed for the paths crews actually walk: from the hatch or ladder to rooftop units, along exposed roof edges, or around skylights and other openings that need a physical barrier.
Because roof layouts vary so much, Alaco builds each 561-CP around your specific hazard points, rail runs can follow a single path, wrap a perimeter, or box in multiple danger zones depending on what your roof needs.
Posts mount directly to the roof deck without penetrating the membrane in most configurations, keeping the waterproofing intact.
Alaco fabricates the system to your roof’s exact layout.
