Solar Aluminium Crocodile Walkway

Our solar aluminium crocodile walkway works very well with the Egret Solar roof mounting system. The walkway can solve problems such as slipperiness and safety hazards during roof maintenance, becoming a standardized safety passage for industrial and commercial roofs. Please contact us if you need free samples to test first.

Product Highlights

1)Solar rooftop safety aluminum walkway's surface features alligator-mouth stamped anti-slip holes with serrated edges, creating superior friction and significantly improving anti-slip performance compared to ordinary flat surfaces. Thanks to its open-pore design, rainwater, snow, mud, and oil can be quickly drained, preventing water accumulation and ice formation, thus eliminating the risk of slipping at the source. In areas with heavy snowfall, the raised serrated edges can directly break up thin ice, eliminating the need for additional de-icing during winter maintenance, ensuring safety and peace of mind.

2)Weighing only 1/3 of a carbon steel walkway, it places no additional load on the roof during installation. The aluminum alloy has a built-in oxide layer, making it resistant to acid rain and salt spray, allowing for long-term use in photovoltaic power stations in coastal or industrial areas without the need for additional galvanizing or painting, resulting in zero maintenance.

3)The connection between the walkway and the roof can be achieved using roof clamps or L feet, requiring no drilling or welding before connecting to the rails, without damaging the roof's waterproof structure.

4)We offer customized services. We support customizing the length, width, height, thickness, and anti-slip hole density according to project requirements to perfectly match your roof project layout.

Why use a walkway?

1) Safety Risks During Maintenance: Rain, dew, snow, and ice reduce friction when walking directly on the roof. Larger gaps between supports can cause instability when stepping over them, increasing the risk of slips and falls.

2) Direct Damage to the Solar Rooftop Project Itself: Solar alligator anti-skid walkway directly on corrugated steel sheet/rolled roofs can wear down the roof coating, creating leaks and leading to water seepage and corrosion.

3)Low Maintenance Efficiency: Without a fixed access route for roof maintenance, workers must find temporary footing and move equipment, reducing efficiency and doubling maintenance time. Furthermore, in severe weather (rain, snow), access to the roof may be impossible, hindering timely troubleshooting and impacting power generation.

Comparison of Existing Walkway Solutions

To meet the access needs of PV rooftop maintenance, several walkway solutions have emerged on the market. Each product has its own advantages, but due to material and structural limitations, there are unavoidable shortcomings in specific scenarios. Through objective comparison, the comprehensive advantages of anti-slide aluminium solar rooftop walkway in adapting to all photovoltaic scenarios are clearly evident:

1.ZAM Steel Walkway

ZAM steel walkway's high overall hardness and stable structure make it suitable for large-scale solar projects, and its relatively low price is an added benefit; however, its heavy weight adds extra load to the roof, making it unsuitable for lightweight corrugated steel roofs and older roofs.

2. FRP Walkway

This material has good acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance, excellent insulation properties, and is initially suitable for a variety of simple outdoor scenarios at a moderate price; however, FRP walkways have poor weather resistance, and long-term outdoor exposure can easily lead to aging, cracking and deformation; the surface has high smoothness, but its anti-slip performance is poor when it comes into contact with water.

3.No Walkway

No additional procurement or installation costs are required, suitable for very small-scale, temporary, and simple maintenance. However, the most risky of all the proposed solutions involves illegal operations, such as the lack of dedicated access routes, long-term trampling on the roof, which could easily lead to slips and falls, damage to the roof coating, and leaks. Furthermore, malfunctions and safety accidents caused by illegal operation and maintenance could result in irreversible asset losses and safety hazards to the project.

Packaging

Solar aluminum walkway for rooftop solution are typically use steel pallets for packaging. We also apply protective film to the aisle panels to effectively prevent scratches, abrasions, bumps, and chipping during loading, unloading, stacking, and transportation, eliminating defects upon arrival and ensuring the overall aesthetic appeal of the project.
