VECTAWAY® shed roof walkways uses
Shed roof walkways VECTAWAY® ensure safely and comfortable get over on so-called shed roofs. These roofs are particularly dangerous due to sudden heights differences. Thanks to a wide range of fastening accessories, we can fix our aluminium roof walkways to all types of roofs. Because our shed roof walkways are designed as a modular structure, the assembly of them is quite simple. Walkways assembling consists of joining ready-made elements and screwing them together in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The greatest advantage of our roof walkways is how easy they are to assemble. That allows most of our clients to carry out the installation themselves.
VECTAWAY® shed roof walkways are made of 6063 T6 aluminium with an excellent finish. The standard raw aluminium finish ensures a C3 corrosion category. Other finishes on request, such as anodized aluminium, thermal varnishing and matched to any RAL colour. You can read more about the advantages of aluminium structures on the aluminium roof walkways page.
For crossing over parapets, pipes and changes in height, we recommend our crossover ladders.
