RPS EQUIPMENT RAILS
THE SOLUTION FOR MOUNTING ROOF EQUIPMENT

RPS Equipment Rails are prefabricated sheet steel structural members designed for all types of roof systems. Provides a uniform mounting pedestal for condensers, blowers and other roof mounted equipment. Manufactured in any length to match the equipment and to span the proper number of roof joists. RPS Equipment Rails have a high bearing capacity attained by a system of internal gussets welded into position at specific intervals along the length of the rails. A continuous wood nailer covered by a removable counterflashing provides for an effective method of attaching roof felts and assuring a watertight installation. Replaces inadequate railroad ties, costly pipe stubs and leaky pitch pockets.
