Guardrail for access hatch
An open access hatch presents a fall hazard, whether located near the roof edge or in the middle of the roof, and requires protection. The Millenium guardrail surrounds the opening, while its integrated handle facilitates entry and exit. The guardrail is 42 in (1,067 mm) high and custom-made to suit the hatch dimensions.

Materials
Posts and rails: structural aluminum tubes, alloy 6061-T6, schedule 40, with a 1.9 in (48 mm) outside diameter and a 0.145 in (3.7 mm) wall thickness. Plastic end caps close the exposed tube ends. Aluminum combines excellent mechanical strength with high corrosion resistance.
Connections: cast aluminum alloy 535 fittings connect the posts and rails. Stainless steel set screws tighten against the tubes to secure the connections.
Freestanding bases and membrane protection: stackable ballast plates made of ASTM A-48 class 30 cast iron, each weighing 41.7 lb (18.91 kg) and measuring 12 × 16 in (305 × 406 mm). The weighted plates support the guardrail without penetrating the roof membrane or requiring attachment to the hatch. Protective mats placed beneath the plates help prevent damage to the roof membrane and underlying installation surfaces.
Finish
All components can be painted according to the client's choice to integrate with the building architecture. Parts may be supplied with a powder-coated finish in the color specified by the client. The RAL color code must be provided at the time of order.
