Elevated Attic Walkway

The attic walkway is constructed so that sits above the horizontal chords of your attic.

Elevated attic walkway.

Our catwalk systems are designed to exceed osha standards and keep your employees fully protected while working at height. Prefabricated catwalks also called elevated walkways come in 12 foot sections comparable to common conveyor section lengths. Place the first plywood sheet on top of the 2x structure starting by the attic entrance. The floor must extend beyond the insulation so that the insulation is properly covered.

The surface itself just has to be strong enough to handle your weight along with tools and gear. Because of this the space is able to supporting heavy loads. The intent is to lay down the boards and the ends should attach to a ceiling rafter. This is because the horizontal chords are the strongest part of the attic.

In this video we install an elevated walkway in a house that we are installing fiberglass insulation and radiant barrier in. Ensure that the end of the first plywood sheet lands on a piece of 2x leaving enough room to position the. We normally recommend that you place plywood over the top of the rafters creating a walkway to the a c and in that area only lay in one or two layers of unfaced fiberglass blanket on top of the plywood walkway and around the ac unit itself. We used leftover plywood scraps to build ours an attic walkway also needs enough support.

We install the elevated walkway so that the insulation does not get. Pre assembled ready to ship catwalks for material handling or industrial applications we offer pre assembled steel catwalk sections as well as custom engineered catwalks.
