An Innovation in Safety for Steep-slope Roofs

Roof work is dangerous under any conditions and particularly when the roof is steep-slope with a pitch of 7/12 to 12/12.

One fall endangers not only the worker, but the entire company.

• Developed by experienced roofers, The RIDGEPRO is a patented roof anchor system that allows safe ascent/descent and rapid peak access. 
• Designed to work on steep-slope roof pitches from 6/12 to 12/12.
• Manufactured in the U.S. from high-quality aircraft-grade (6061-T6) aluminum and engineered to last for years of field use. 
• Easy-to-assemble and intuitive to use.
