Fall - Through Protection Systems
Overview
Retro-Grate™ is the custom made fall-through protection system designed to fit most openings,
regardless of the cover manufacturer. Easily installed, Retro-Grate™ changes a potentially hazardous access
cover opening into a safe and secure surrounding. ( Fig. 1 )
How it works
Each and every time an access cover is opened, the possibility of a fall-through accident exists. Retro-Grate™
eliminates the hazard by covering the opening with a hinged grating panel. When access to the opening is required, the safety
colour orange powder coated grating panel hinges up and out of the way. Once the work is complete, simply release the latch and lower
Retro-Grate™ back into position. The next operator to open the access cover is protected.
Retro-Grate™ is easy to install and allows for minor maintenance and adjustments beneath the access cover
without exposing the operator to an uncovered opening. Retro-Grate™ provides additional security against
unauthorised entry with the use of an owner supplied padlock and allows for single person inspections.
