Generally you will see a nail or tek screw line in a top fixed profile.

Generally when the platforms is closer to the edge of a roof than 2000mm and when raised more than 300mm above that of an adjacent platform or the Roof.

A Mesh Platform provides the service personnel a service area, further enhancing the protection of your roof.

It means the servicemen are working on the same level as the mechanical units, making it easier to service.

It is also safer as they are working on a level area rather than standing on the slope of the roof.

Generally, the platform induced lateral loads can be transferred to braced walls/portal frames/shear walls through roof diaphragm actions by the roof sheeting or other forms of diaphragms such as plywood.

In the case where the diaphragm is absent or inadequate, the lateral load transfer can be achieved through axial tension/compression actions of the purlin in the along direction and through out of plane bending and shear in the across direction.

In this case the client’s structural engineer is required to carry out this check. Monkey Toe can assist with this if required.

Monkeytoe products are designed for the long-haul with most of our structural components having a lifetime warranty of 25 years.

All our products are designed for long life in harsh rooftop coastal environments. Aluminium is a highly durable with some aluminium products like statues lasting more than 100 years.

Some of our products have a shorter warranty such as Hushmonkey which has a 10-year warranty, this has a replaceable insert which can be easily replaced as required.

At Monkeytoe we regularly provide custom designs for stairs, this is vital to keep the steps all at an even height. Because the steps must be even to prevent embarrassing faceplants(provide link) a small height change of 20 mm will mean a different stair design this means a site measure should always be done before final design and manufacture.

Our consultants can provide you with 3D models and drawings of our standard stair systems for most applications with single flights, these can normally be provided the same day. All stair designs come with handrails to ensure they comply with regulations. For large or custom applications, a custom design is recommended see here.

For standalone handrail systems we can provide standard drawings and for large custom jobs a custom design is available

We currently don’t have a pre-engineered solutions for mounting harness points to our standard walkways products, however if do have an application that requires this we can provide custom engineered solutions as required.
