The Only Hands-Free, 100% Tie-Off Roof Access System.

The transition from a fixed ladder through a roof hatch is statistically one of the most hazardous moments for any rooftop technician. Traditional systems force workers to choose between maintaining three points of contact and manually operating heavy hatches. This conflict in safety priorities has historically led to injury and loss of life.

Developed in direct collaboration with national facility operators, the Flex Hatch Pro was engineered to eliminate the risk common to transitioning from ladder to roof. By integrating a ground-level hatch opener with active fall protection, Flexible Lifeline Systems provides a seamless safety envelope that ensures 100% tie-off from the moment a worker leaves the floor until they are safely standing in a guarded zone on the roof.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Integrated Ground-Level Opener: This system allows technicians to safely unlatch and open the roof hatch from the floor. This action simultaneously deploys the primary grab bar and the SRL tagline, ensuring the worker is prepared before they ever leave the ground.
  • 100% Continuous Tie-Off: The integrated Self-Retracting Lifeline (SRL) protects the worker from the ground, through the hatch transition, and into the roof safe zone.
  • Hands-Free Transition: Because the hatch and grab bars are positioned from the rooftop, workers maintain three points of contact throughout the entire climb without having to pause to wrestle with hatch hardware.
  • Patent-Pending "Mark II" Anchor: Our unique anchor design allows for an unimpeded transition on and off the ladder. This ensures the worker remains connected to the active system until they are behind a physical guardrail.
  • Cool-Touch Interior Grab Bars: These bars are engineered for safety in extreme temperatures, ensuring a secure, comfortable grip regardless of sun exposure or seasonal heat.
  • Self-Closing Safety Gate: A heavy-duty Kee Gate creates a passive safe zone at the top of the ladder, preventing accidental falls back through the hatch after the worker unhooks.
