How to install an edge protection system?
Selection and choice of an edge protection system should be adopted to the needs and conditions of the site. The basic factors to be taken into account while installing such a system are frequency of works at a given site and material/ground on which the system will be installed.
The basic components of the system are the universal posts and mounting brackets. The posts are compatible with all mounting brackets, while the wide variety of those brackets allows for using the system on every stage of construction works. Detailed information on how to install the brackets correctly can be found in the catalogue available in the EPS system tab. Moreover, our experienced employees will gladly provide additional information and configure the system to fit your individual needs.
- Efficient bolted construction
The platform is designed to be bolted together from individual components, which makes it easier to handle during logistics, assembly, and disassembly. This modular design also helps to reduce transport costs, as it can be compactly packed and easily moved to and from job sites. - Anti-corrosion protection
For long-lasting durability, our platforms are coated with anti-corrosive protection through hot-dip galvanization according to the PN-EN ISO 1461 standard, or finished with powder painting to provide a protective, aesthetic finish. - Customizable advertising cover option
In addition to being functional, our platforms can also serve as a branding tool. We offer the possibility to attach an advertising cover with any custom design or overprint, allowing your company to stand out while ensuring safety on-site.
