Aluminium Walkways

Our Aluminium walkways are a lightweight, corrosion free, long lasting solution for all roof access requirements built to withstand frequent foot traffic and built to protect all of your workers. They offer anti-slip resistance with their walking surface, protecting workers who are carrying out tasks at height.

An aluminium walkway is 100% recyclable making it environmentally friendly as well as being extremely strong and robust. With its aluminium makeup, it won’t easily become weather worn or corrode and can even act as an extra layer of protection for the roof itself below.

At Altus Safety we can design and install bespoke aluminium roof walkways that are the perfect match for your commercial space. Designed to exact requirements and installed by an expert member of our friendly team, we’ll also throw in a dedicated account manager throughout the process to keep you informed every step of the way.

Traversing a pitched roof is also covered with the inclusion of a levelling system, providing a level and safe access route in any area. The design of your system will be specifically tailored to your roof design and also the tasks you’ll be completing on the roof, ensuring full roof access and the safest possible conditions whilst your workers carry out Work at Height.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Altus over the last three years. They are a very professional and complete company. At times we tested their patience to I'm sure the absolute limits, but never once did they falter in their service. Michaela and the team are outstanding.

Altus took over an existing system at our factory we already had in place and have also completed new a installation in the passed 3 years. We also have used Altus for projects offsite. Staff are very friendly and all paperwork / certification quickly issued after testing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Altus.
