Gargoyle Platform Series
Factory Supply designs, engineers and fabricates custom rooftop guardrail maintenance platforms to protect your employees while working at heights. Equipment maintenance may require elevated access on a rooftop that can put employees at risk. The use of railed platforms surrounding the equipment will eliminate the risks while improving work performance and productivity.
We custom design maintenance platforms to suit customer requirements. These platforms are always designed in order to meet or exceed the applicable required safety regulations, including OSHA. Personnel safety, accessibility, modular construction, maintenance, and ease of setup for reconfiguration are often key factors included within the design of these platforms.
These rooftop work platforms are also designed to blend in with the existing roof aesthetics and can be customized to multiple heights and configurations. When coupled with our Gargoyle Walkway Series and classic Gargoyle Guardrail System you will have a complete rooftop safety system that ensures the safety of both your roof and workers.

ON THE LEADING EDGE OF SAFETY
The Hierarchy of Fall Protection Solutions
Elimination of Hazards
- Whenever possible, remove the fall hazard itself.
- If there is no fall hazard, there’s no fall.
Passive Systems
- Do not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment or active participation from the worker.
- Include Guardrails or Netting Systems.
- A preferred choice for its ease of use without the need for additional training and PPE.
Fall Restraint
- Uses personal fall arrest equipment (harness, lanyard, a. anchor point) to stop the user from reaching the edge.
- This type of ttying-offi p the user from falling in the first place.
Fall Arrest
- When all other solutions are infeasible.
- Fall arrest uses the same equipment as fall restraint but the fall protection equipment engages after the fall happens
- When it engages, the equipment slows the workers descent, bringing them to a safe stop.
