Fold-down guardrail — out of sight on the ballast platform
The fold-down guardrail on the ballast platform: permanent collective roof-edge protection that folds away out of sight when the roof is not in use.
The fold-down guardrail is the variant of the Protector Guardrail ballast platform whose railing can be laid flat. Permanent collective roof-edge protection stands ready the moment someone needs roof access, while the guardrail folds out of sight when the roof is not in use.
For building owners who object to a visible roof edge — from the street or from neighbouring buildings — the fold-down (also called retractable or collapsible) guardrail solves that without compromising safety. Folded down, the system stays anchored in the ballast; upright, it meets the same EN 1991-1-4 (Eurocode 1) wind calculation as the fixed system.
