  • Roofing rail transportation system
    Patent number: 7980182
    Abstract: A rail transportation system particularly suited for transporting roofing materials upon an uncompleted roof. Sections of tubes form rails, allowing several rail cars carrying various roofing materials to transport those roofing materials from the edge of the roof to the point of installation. These tubes may be attached to one another, allowing tradespersons to further extend the range of the rails as the installation progresses.

  • Safety mesh roof facing system
    Patent number: 6226945

  • Roof netting carrier sled
    Patent number: 5778628
    Abstract: A uniquely designed sled and a method for its use in distributing roof netting on a building during construction and prior to installation of the roof itself. The sled is brought to the roof level so that it straddles the secondary roof members of the building under construction, and is then loaded with a roll of roof netting. A rope attached to the front of the sled allows it to be pulled across (perpendicular to) the roof support members as the netting is unrolled and deployed through a distribution box. The rails of the sled are long enough to stretch across at least two (2) secondary roof members at a time in order to prevent the sled from falling through as it slides across them. A specially designed mounting platform and distribution box with a top door are provided in the sled to efficiently dispense the netting onto and over the secondary roof members.
