Tubecon SunStep is a cost effective steel solution for industrial rooftop walkways. The ideal walkway allowing you access to your roof and solar panels without damaging your roof sheeting. The SunStep system integrates roof-side cable and water management with a walking platform making it the ideal system for solar on IBR roofsheeting.
The SunStep solution allows for much better weight distribution over the roof. Not using clamps and other expensive add-ons the walkway consists of a walkway profile with integrated cable trunking channels. The system fastens directly to the roof while a cap-profile clips over the trunking to protect cables and hook the trunking to the walkway for extra stability. A few screws and stainless steel cable ties are all that are required for fastening allowing for quick and efficient installation.
Made from high strength galvanized steel (Z275) the area allows not only for ample walk space but completely avoids point load. The steel channel is placed flush on the IBR, therefore the load is distributed over all touch points on the IBR without needing additional fixing hardware.
The flanges improve rigidity and fits flush to the cable trays on either side. Drainage holes are punched on the corners of the walkway to ensure limited risk of water staying inside the walkway. These holes are also used to secure the walkway to the cable trays that are fastened onto the roof by with stainless steel cable ties.
A galvanized steel lip channel is used as cable trays. As with the walkway the cable tray has holes pre punched to ensure water drainage. On the flanges 22 diameter holes are punched which allows the cables to enter the side through sprag conduit and glands.
Purpose made bent steel lid from Z275 clips neat and tight over the outside of the cable tray and the inside of the walkway, protecting cables from direct rains and sunlight. Easy and light to put on and take off with zero holes and screws required allows for quick assembly and effective fault finding.
| Product | Advantage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Walkway | Load Distribution | Due to the walkway laying flat on the IBR the load distribution is over a much larger area. |
| Quick Installation | The walkway fits between two cable trays and are tied with stainless steel cable ties instead of special brackets which means installtion is faster. | |
| Work Area | Turn the walkway around to provide a working area where boxes can be unpacked. | |
