Ballast
The 12.5 kg lightweight ballasts are easy to transport, ergonomic to handle and can be stacked to save space thanks to the integrated plug-in system. This reduces transport and storage costs and makes installation much easier.
Barrier
The barrier can be flexibly installed to open to the left or right and closes automatically for maximum work safety.
Stabiliser
Stabilisers in various lengths ensure a perfect fit for individual conditions – for maximum flexibility on site.
Adjustable post
Adjustable posts can be set at an angle of -5° to 30°, individually adjustable inwards or outwards, and are height-adjustable up to 200 mm for precise compensation of height differences.
Hand and knee rail tube
Thanks to the clip mechanism, railing and knee rails can be installed in no time at all. Linear and angle connectors offer maximum flexibility and enable continuous adjustment in the range from 90° to 180°.
Angle connector for railing
Angle connectors offer maximum flexibility and enable continuous adjustment within a range of 90° to 180°.
Toeboard
If there is no roof edge or if it is less than 150 mm high, a toeboard is required.
Click system
Pre-assembled post elements enable quick connection using a click system. No drilling, no chips, no damage to the roof covering. This saves you valuable installation time.
WHY COLLECTIVE FALL PROTECTION?
As flat roof areas are increasingly being used as utility and working surfaces, regular maintenance, repair, upkeep and snow clearance work is required. Building and roof area operators are obliged to secure roof areas in such a way that people are not endangered when using them for their intended purpose. This also applies to external companies, maintenance and service personnel.
- Maximum safety for all users: A permanently installed railing system automatically protects against falls – regardless of training or experience.
- Access for untrained personnel: No training or special certificates required – even temporary or external teams can work safely.
- Minimal follow-up costs: Maintenance and regular inspections are simple and inexpensive, eliminating the need for expensive rescue equipment or individual PPE.
- Efficient use: No cumbersome installation of rope safety devices, no time-consuming preparations – ready for immediate use.
- Long-term investment: Robust materials and tested quality ensure lasting protection with minimal effort.
INFOBOX
LEGAL CERTAINTY
Collective protective measures always take precedence!
The selection and installation of fall protection systems on roofs is carried out in accordance with European occupational health and safety guidelines and the relevant national regulations. Each project is based on a site-specific risk assessment that identifies potential risks and defines specific protective measures.
Online configurator: online map service, simple data entry, standard-compliant planning.
Tiltable version: For precise levelling of roof slopes.
Corrosion resistant: All parts made of aluminium or stainless steel.
Non-penetrating: No thermal bridges, no sound transmission.
Height adjustment up to 200 mm: For precise compensation of height differences.
Assembly using a click system: pre-assembled post elements, no drilling, no damage to the roof covering.
On-site measurements: Precise measurements for perfectly fitting fall protection.
Low dead weight: and therefore low surface weight
PLANNING OF RAILING SYSTEMS
CHECKLIST:
- 1. Check standards and framework conditions
✔ European standards for temporary protection systems: EN 13374
✔ Standards for equipment for the maintenance of systems: EN 4426
✔ Load assumptions for wind and snow: EN 1991-1-4 (wind loads), EN 1991-1-3 (snow loads)
✔ Observe local building and occupational safety regulations
- 2. Project & location analysis
✔ Category of use of the roof area: maintenance, traffic area, etc.
✔ Roof covering: material and condition
✔ Check the installation height of the roof system and the available installation area for ballast elements
✔ Building height and location: terrain category, altitude
✔ Include wind and snow loads in the planning
- 3. System planning & selection
✔ Select a railing system that complies with standard requirements
✔ Check corrosion protection and material resistance
✔ Check compatibility with roof structure and freedom from penetration
✔ Consider access options for installation and maintenance
- 4. Installation, operation & safety
✔ Document assembly instructions and test reports
✔ Schedule regular inspections and readjustments
✔ Ensure fall protection for assembly personnel
✔ Clearly mark the railing system
✔ Take emergency and rescue plans into account
HYGHTS RAILING SYSTEM
JUST A FEW CLICKS TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL SOLUTION
Configure now with ease.
With our configurator, you can quickly and easily plan customised railing systems. In addition to configuration, roof areas of existing buildings can also be measured precisely. All entries are automatically checked for compliance with standards – ensuring that your project meets the applicable safety standards at all times.
WORK SAFETY & ERGONOMICS
COMPONENTS FOR FAST, SAFE AND CLEAN INSTALLATION
HYGHTS roof railings feature an easy-to-install system that has been specially developed for use on industrial and commercial roofs. Pre-assembled post elements reduce the need for tools to a minimum, saving valuable time. The practical clip mechanism allows the railings and knee rails to be easily snapped into place, while the flexible passage barrier can be installed to open either to the left or to the right.
Another advantage is that no holes need to be drilled in the roof. This keeps the roof surface free of chips or damage – for a permanently clean and safe solution. The aluminium and stainless steel materials used are rustproof and weather-resistant, ensuring that the fall protection remains reliable in the long term, even under demanding conditions.
FLEXIBILITY & EFFICIENCY
MAXIMUM SAFETY AND FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY ROOF PROJECT
With our roof railings, you can rely on tested and standard-compliant fall protection ‘Made in Germany’. All systems meet the highest quality standards and are suitable for use on roofs and installations. The recycled solid plastic weights with ergonomic handles are lightweight, modularly stackable and can be flexibly combined – for convenient handling and space-saving storage.
Thanks to the variable inclination of -5° to 30°, the railings can be adjusted either inwards or outwards. In addition, the height adjustment of up to 200 mm allows precise compensation for roof unevenness. In combination with our online configurator and optional measurement of existing roofs, you get a system that is precisely tailored to your requirements. HYGHTS railing systems thus ensure maximum safety, fast availability and smooth processes in every project.

Flat roofs are workplaces. They house air conditioning units, ventilation systems and solar panels, which require regular maintenance. The risk of falling from the edge of the roof is a significant hazard. A permanently installed roof railing offers the safest solution here. Unlike individual rope access systems (PSAgA), a railing system provides collective protection. This means that everyone on the roof can move around safely without having to put on special equipment or receive separate training. This type of permanent safety measure is the preferred method of professional associations for permanently securing work areas on roofs and preventing accidents.
The advantages of a permanently installed railing system
A professional railing system from Hymer access technology offers decisive advantages for the safety and longevity of your building. Our systems are made from robust and weather-resistant materials such as aluminium, which guarantees a long service life without maintenance.
The most important features are:
- Compliance with standards: Our solutions comply with the applicable standards for fall protection systems.
- Flexibility: Our online configurator offers simple data collection or digital measurement of existing roofs for standard-compliant planning for every roof.
- Collective protection: Safe access for all persons at all times, without additional personal protective equipment.
- Sustainability: Durable materials ensure low-maintenance, long-lasting security.
Such a system is a sustainable investment in the safety of your employees and external service providers.
