Q: What is The Ultimate Bracket used for?
A: The Ultimate Bracket is a non-penetrating standing seam metal roofing bracket used to create a stable work platform on sloped metal roofs. It holds 2" x 8" or 2" x 10" planks so roofers and other trades can stand, stage materials, and work safely and efficiently on steep pitches.
Q: What types of roofs is The Ultimate Bracket compatible with?
A: The Ultimate Bracket is designed specifically for standing seam metal roofs. It clamps onto 1" to 2" snap-lock or mechanical/bulb-type standing seams without penetrating the panels, making it ideal for metal roofing installs, service work, and solar or mechanical work on standing seam systems.
Q: What load rating and adjustment range does The Ultimate Bracket have?
A: The Ultimate Bracket is rated for up to 300 lb (wet or dry) per bracket when installed and used correctly. It adjusts from a 3/12 to 24/12 roof slope using a double-start crankshaft system, allowing you to fine-tune the plank angle one degree at a time to keep your work platform level.
Q: Will The Ultimate Bracket damage the metal roof panels?
A: No—when installed properly. The Ultimate Bracket uses a non-penetrating clamp design with custom rubber pads on the base and sides. These pads protect the standing seam from scratching and denting, helping preserve the roof finish and integrity while still providing a secure, stable work platform.
