Rooftop aluminum walkway systems for stable, anti-skid movement across industrial metal roofs.
Jayco aluminum walkways create a defined roof-access path above fragile, uneven, or sensitive roof surfaces. The system gives workers a more stable anti-skid route, reduces unnecessary foot traffic on roof sheets, and can be combined with horizontal lifelines or guard rails when the roof access plan needs a complete fall-protection arrangement.
The walkway creates a safer roof path while protecting the roof sheet from repeated foot traffic.
The focus is practical roof movement: stable footing for workers, reduced roof-sheet damage, simpler installation, and compatibility with different roof shapes and support systems. A defined walkway also helps control where people move on the roof, which is useful for maintenance, inspection, and access to equipment.
Product view
JS 36000 is a modular aluminum roof path with support brackets, intended to create a safer and more stable movement route across metal roofs. It helps separate the walking surface from the roof sheet below, reducing direct loading and improving access consistency.
The product view shows how the walkway forms a defined track above the roof profile, giving maintenance teams a clear route to reach equipment, inspection points, skylight zones, and service areas without stepping directly on vulnerable roof sheets.
Its modular construction also helps installers plan straight runs, stepped paths, or longer access routes according to the roof pitch and site layout, while the anti-skid walking surface supports safer movement during routine rooftop work.
Suitable For All Roofs
The walkway is suitable for trapezoidal profile, composite, built-up, and standing-seam metal roofs. It can be used on flat, barrel, or sloping roofs, with steps and traverse options to create access from 0 to 45 degrees.
Protects Workers And Roof Structures
The anti-skid profile is intended to reduce worker slippage, while the elevated walkway helps protect the roof sheet itself from dents, scratches, and repeated concentrated foot traffic.
Easy To Install
Walkways are manufactured and supplied in 1 meter to 3 meter lengths, with width selected according to access needs. Standardized modules make planning and installation easier across longer roof routes.
No Welding Needed
Made from tubular rectangular pipes with standard-grade fittings and modules, the system can be installed on site without welding, reducing hot-work requirements on the roof.
Long Lasting
Manufactured from aluminium grade for lightweight roof loading, good durability, strength, and corrosion resistance in exposed environments.
Certification
Walkway is tested to EN 516:2006, the European standard for roof-access walkways. The testing covers deflection and residual deformation under specified loads and references Class 1 across Type A 250 mm, Type B 350 mm, and Type C 430 mm profiles, giving customers a clearer basis for comparing walkway options.
Six standard width options help match the walkway to the access route and roof condition.
Model selection is straightforward: each model number maps to a width and profile type, with available length options from 500 mm to 3000 mm. Narrower profiles may suit limited access routes, while wider profiles can provide more comfortable movement for frequent maintenance work.

- Available length: 500 mm to 3000 mm, selected according to the roof route and installation layout.
Separate fixing approaches help the walkway sit correctly on trapezoidal and standing-seam roofs.
The fixing system controls how the walkway lands on the roof, how the load is transferred, and how the walking surface remains stable. Anti-skid impression and bracket-based slope adjustment help the walkway stay usable across different roof profiles and pitches.
Fixing Mechanism On The Trapezoidal Roof
- Installed with rivets or self-tapping screws to secure the walkway on trapezoidal roof profiles.
- Anti-skid impression improves grip on the walking surface during roof access.
- Slope-adjustment bracket helps level and support the walkway on roof pitches.
Fixing Mechanism On The Standing-Seam Roof
- Standing-seam fixing uses a separate mounting approach that suits seam-type roof construction.
- Slope-adjustment bracket remains part of the support method for stable walking alignment.
- The intent is to keep the walkway aligned and stable without forcing trapezoidal fixing details onto a standing-seam roof.
Anti-Skid Impression
The anti-skid walking surface improves grip as part of the roof-access safety design, especially during maintenance work where dust, moisture, or roof pitch may affect footing.
Bracket For Slope Adjustment
The bracket allows the walkway to be adjusted and supported on sloped roof profiles so the walking path remains more level and predictable.
