Scaffold Edge Protection

Permanent Advanced Guardrail systems allow scaffolders and trades to work in complete safety from the level below while complying fully with the NASC’s guidance note SG4. Combined with our Plettac Metrix system scaffolding these unique features of the system lead to significant benefits, including reduced equipment levels, labour savings, decreased assembly times and improved safety.

Metrix Permanent Advanced Guardrails

Metrix Permanent Advanced Guardrails are manufactured from galvanised steel and are an alternative to traditional ledgers and guardrails. As the guardrails are installed from the secured level below, scaffold operatives are constantly within a protected area.

Metrix Permanent Advanced Side Guardrails

Metrix Permanent Advanced Side Guardrails are installed from the secured level below, perpendicularly to the permanent advanced guardrails, for towers between 1.5m and 3m wide. Must be used in conjunction with Reinforced Double Ledgers.

Metrix Internal Staircase Guardrails

Metrix Internal Staircase Guardrails are aluminium units which provide hand holds and internal edge protection to the staircase units with landings, they are attached with two 10mm diameter bolts with 22mm diameter nuts.

Walkway Systems

Walkway Systems give workers the reassurance of safe, non-slip access to all roof works. It’s laid onto the roof surface, so the roof itself remains protected. It’s ideal for use on and around:

• flat roofs (lead, felt, single ply membrane);
• profile cladding (fibre, cement, steel, aluminum);
• tiled surfaces (slate, clay). Consider it also for fragile surfaces, valley gutters, stepped applications and roof lights.

Helping your workers to always tread safely, the TRAD Walkway System:

• offers the confidence of an ultra non-slip surface, even when wet;
• is manufactured from recycled PVC-U;
• fully conforms to the Working at Height Act.

Catch Fans

Catch Fans provide reliable protection for personnel while safeguarding against falling objects, throughout the construction process. At Premier Scaffolding we combine our Plettac Metrix System Scaffold with the TRAD Catch Fan. This system  is capable of providing a smart, effective containment solution for all high rise building projects.

TRAD Catch Fan contains falling items and debris from multi-storey buildings during construction. The fan absorbs the energy of falling objects, essentially catching them before they hit the ground; unlike a traditional scaffold board fan which to deflects objects into the structure.

Each TRAD Catch Fan unit comprises of a 60mm x 60mm net designed to contain a maximum weight of 100kg through 7m with a 20mm x 20mm net overlay for the containment of smaller items. The TRAD Catch Fan cantilevers from the structure by 3.2m and comes in two lengths, 4m and 6m. Complete with a range of attachments the TRAD Catch Fan can connect directly to a concrete frame or structural steel building. Additionally, it can also attach to a scaffold.

One of the main features of the TRAD Catch Fan is that it can be progressively moved up the building keeping protection as close as possible to the working area where protection may be required – unlike a traditional scaffold fan which is stationary and usually towards the bottom of the structure. The TRAD Catch Fan meets all requirements of European Standard EN 1263-1.
