Stay Safe at Height: Why Every Elevated Site Needs Fall Protection Fences

Working at height remains one of the most dangerous job conditions worldwide. Whether it’s a rooftop inspection, platform maintenance, or mezzanine loading, aFall Protection Fenceis a non-negotiable layer of safety. At Giantdef, we design fall protection systems that comply with global safety standards, adapt to diverse structures, and install with ease.

Rooftop Maintenance and HVAC Work

Commercial rooftops host everything from AC units to solar panels. Technicians often need hours of uninterrupted work near roof edges—frequently without permanent guardrails in place.

Giantdef’s fall protection fences:

  • Provide fast-deploy safety rails around rooftop edges

  • Comply with OSHA and EN standards for fall prevention

  • Withstand strong winds and UV exposure

  • Fit both flat and sloped roof types

This makes them a smart choice for property managers, solar companies, and HVAC contractors.

Warehouse Mezzanines and Loading Docks

Modern warehousing operations utilize vertical space throughmulti-tier shelving and mezzanines. Employees working on these platforms face a constant fall risk, especially during picking, restocking, or machine servicing.

Applications include:

  • Mezzanine perimeter fencing

  • Guardrails along loading bays and lift access points

  • Flexible barriers for pallet-drop zones or high rack systems

The result: improved compliance and fewer workplace incidents.

Scaffolding and Temporary Work Platforms

During building renovations or façade cleaning,temporary scaffoldscreate mobile elevated workspaces. But without proper fencing, a single misstep can lead to tragedy.

Giantdef offers:

  • Modular fence panels for scaffolding systems

  • Quick-clamp railing kits for temporary platforms

  • Lightweight yet rigid solutions for frequent repositioning

Used by building maintenance firms and construction sub-contractors globally.

Industrial and Utility Sites

Factories, power plants, and telecom facilities often featureelevated walkways, platforms, and access pointsto critical machinery. Maintenance crews operating in these environments need 360° protection.

Use cases:

  • Fencing around control panel access zones

  • Edge protection for catwalks and tank tops

  • Perimeter safety during turbine, transformer, or pipe inspections

Fall protection isn't just about rules—it's about keeping teams alive.

Public and Government Buildings

Universities, hospitals, and office buildings also benefit from temporary fall protection when their rooftops are accessed for repairs or upgrades.
