RACE - Adjustable Roof Bracket, 10" x 30°/45°/60°/90°, RACE-RB-ADJ

The RACE Adjustable Roof Bracket is a steel staging bracket with a 10-inch platform and selectable angles of 30°, 45°, 60°, or 90°. It supports one worker per 8 feet of bracket spacing or up to 250 pounds of materials. The bracket must be nailed securely to roof rafters using all mounting slots for proper installation.

Key features:

• 10" platform with adjustable angle settings
• Four positions: 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°
• Steel construction for durability
• Rated for one worker or up to 250 lbs of material
• Designed for staging material and working on steep slopes

• Platform width: 10" 
• Angle settings: 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° 
• Capacity: One worker per 8 ft spacing or up to 250 lbs of material 
• Mounting: Must be affixed with 20-penny nails through all mounting plate slots into rafters 
• Spacing: Brackets no more than 8 ft apart

• Set each bracket to match the roof pitch (30°, 45°, 60°, or 90° position) before installation.
• Locate a solid rafter beneath the roof surface; never fasten only to sheathing.
• Attach the bracket with 20-penny nails through every slot so all nails penetrate the roof surface and the rafter; install additional brackets with spacing not exceeding 8 feet.
• Insert a wood platform at least 2 inches nominal thickness; allow it to extend beyond the support arm 6–12 inches and secure it through the platform retainer hole.
• Limit use to one person per 8 feet of staging; stage materials within rated limits and keep the walking surface clear.
• Use fall protection as required; before each shift, verify nails are seated, brackets are tight, and planks are sound and properly secured.
• When finished, remove the plank, back out or set nails per best practice, and seal penetrations per roofing standards.

Q: What plank size is recommended for roof brackets?
A: Use scaffold-grade, solid sawn wood planks of at least 2 inches nominal thickness; choose the widest size the bracket accommodates (often 2×10) for stability and ensure planks meet load ratings.

Q: How far apart should brackets be spaced and how many people can stand on a run?
A: Follow the manufacturer’s spacing; a common limit is no more than 8 feet between brackets, and capacity is typically one worker per 8 feet of staging plus limited materials.

Q: Which fasteners should I use and where do they go?
A: Use manufacturer-specified nails—commonly 20-penny—and drive them through all bracket slots into a rafter, not just the sheathing.

Q: How do I remove brackets and weatherproof after the job?
A: Take off the planks, loosen and remove or set nails flush, and apply roofing cement over penetrations to help prevent leaks.

Q: Do roof brackets replace fall protection or guardrails?
A: No. Roof brackets provide a work platform but are not a substitute for OSHA-required fall protection; use appropriate fall arrest or guardrail systems as applicable.
