AL-312 GR2 Roof Edge Guardrail Post Section
Vertical Lifeline & Guardrail Systems

The PGTEC GR2 is a single roof-edge guardrail post section used to build up a complete edge-protection system along flat roofs, platforms and walkways. The upright is a hot-dip galvanized steel tube fitted with two clamp-on brackets for the horizontal mid and top rails, a toe-board bracket near the base and a navy-blue plastic top cap that seals the tube against rain and gives the guard a clean, finished line. The post drops into or clamps to a base plate, a counterweight block or a fixed shoe, and because all connection points use standard clamps, rails can be cut to fit any perimeter and re-used on the next job. At 1100 mm to the top rail and sized for rail spacing up to 2.5 m, the GR2 meets EN 13374 edge-protection requirements and pairs with the PGTEC GR1 counterweight base and with fixed roof shoe systems. The galvanized finish resists rust in coastal and industrial atmospheres, and the navy top cap contrasts clearly against light roof surfaces, making the edge easy to see in low light. Facilities managers and contractors stock GR2 posts as spare or extension sections around plant roofs, skylights and maintenance platforms. Supplied individually and bar-coded for inventory, the PGTEC GR2 post is the building block of a durable, inspectable roof-edge guard that keeps workers a safe distance from the drop line.
