Safety according to age-old principles
The name Protector Guardrail D228 refers to an ancient law from Deuteronomy 22:8: “When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet for your roof, so that no bloodguilt will be shed on your house if someone falls from it.” This idea emphasises that securing roofs has been essential since time immemorial. Protector GuardRail D228 naturally complies with all modern legal standards, Council Directive 89/391/EEC and Eurocode 1 EN1991 (wind load).
Easy Installation for Efficient Workplace
Protector Guardrail D228 is lightweight, consists of surprisingly few parts and can be assembled with only 2 tools (socket wrenches 8 and 13). Thanks to its smart and balanced composition, the system can be easily assembled without much physical effort. In addition, we offer support throughout your project. Whether it is an RI&E, the crane lifting plan, logistics plan or the assembly process itself, we are there for you so that you can always be sure of a safe installation.
Easy installation and maximum safety. We’re happy to help you with technical support.
Designed for maximum safety and storm resistance
Protector GuardRail D228 is designed to withstand the heaviest storm loads for the next 50 years. The system complies with the most stringent fall protection regulations for working safely on solar panels.
The uniquely developed wind load calculator determines the amount of ballast required, taking into account wind area and roof height. It is reassuring to know that this calculator has been tested by a registered structural engineer.
So you can rely on optimum protection, whatever the weather conditions.
Safety without compromise.
Availability and customised railing for roof edge protection
Protector GuardRail D228 railing is always in stock, which ensures fast delivery times. In addition, the railing can be tailored to the visual requirements of your project. The system is available in various RAL colours for a powder-coated or anodised finish, and can also be set in a 90- or 70-degree position as standard, so it always fits in perfectly with its surroundings.
Thanks to its modular design, Protector GuardRail D228 is also reusable for future projects, making it a sustainable choice.
Innovative ballast frames
The ballast frames of our Protector GuardRail D228 railing are a model of innovation and functionality. Specially developed by Protector Guardrail, these unique ballast frames offer unmatched stability and durability, setting them apart in the market. Various ballast frames have been developed, allowing the railing to be placed even where there is little space between the roof edge and installations. A footprint of 500mm is even possible.
Thanks to their thoughtful design and high-quality materials, Protector GuardRail D228 ballast frames not only ensure optimum safety, but also quick and efficient installation. This makes them the ideal choice for a variety of roof applications.
Sustainability & Environment (CSRD)
Protector GuardRail D228 is designed with sustainability and environmental friendliness in mind. The system is made of EU recycled aluminium, with excellent corrosion resistance even in marine areas. Packaging material is avoided by smart use of steel transport pallets (deposit). This results in no waste in the workplace. The railing is thermally treated for maximum hardness and meets CSRD standards for environment, social responsibility and governance.
Efficiency and logistics
Protector GuardRail D228 is lightweight and compact to transport, ensuring efficiency in transport and installation. The heaviest component (ballast tile) remains well below the maximum lifting weight of 23 kg. The deposit system for steel transport pallets encourages reuse, the ballast consists of universal concrete tiles, number depends on the wind load calculation, delivery of the concrete tiles can be done directly on site.
