New Certified Under Rafter System:
Sick of dodgy edge protection setups that take forever and still get flagged by the inspector?
If you’re a chippy, roofer, or builder running a small crew, chances are you’ve been wasting time figuring out how to safely work on a pitched roof, especially when rafters are exposed. You want to keep your boys safe, stay 100% compliant, and get on with the job without worrying about WorkSafe dropping by.
Well, here’s some good news: the new certified Under Rafter System from Australian Scaffold is here, and it’s a game-changer for edge protection.
The Problem: Staying Compliant on Pitched Roofs Is a Nightmare
Tradies across Australia are dealing with:
- Roof pitches that make standard systems useless
- Jobs with exposed rafters but no top fixings
- Site inspectors demanding compliance to AS/NZS 4994.1:2023
- Tools that are too slow to install, clunky to move, or downright unsafe
Whether you’re doing renos, new builds, or roofing jobs, edge protection shouldn’t be the hardest part of your day.
The Solution: Butlin’s Certified Under Rafter System
Say g’day to the Safety Rail Under Rafter Package – 100 lm, designed by Butlin, built tough by Australian Scaffold, and fully certified for peace of mind.
Here’s how it works:
-
The Under Rafter Bracket clamps underneath the rafter like a beast (no top fixings needed).
-
It creates a rock-solid base for your handrail posts and guardrails, even on tricky pitches.
-
Built to suit roof pitches between 22.5° and 30°, with the strength to handle Aussie job site conditions.
-
All components are spaced and secured as per the latest safety standards, including:
-
No more than 1.8m between handrail posts
-
Guardrails set up with correct mid and bottom spacing
-
Ladder access built into the system
And it’s hot-dip galvanised for long-lasting protection against rust and rough weather.
The Benefits Tradies Care About
✔ Fast to Install: Set it up with an impact driver and get to work
✔ Works With Exposed Rafters: No roof penetration required
✔ Certified to AS/NZS 4994.1:2023
✔ Designed by Aussie Engineers, tested, safe, and site-ready
✔ Lifetime Guarantee, no more buying twice
Plus, everything ships quickly and arrives with a full user manual and compliance docs ready for handover.
“It’s the only edge protection system that actually fits our job and ticks the box with the inspector.”
