On Roof Platform Systems for Safe Elevated Work

Direct Scaffold Supplies offers on-roof platform systems designed to assist trades performing tasks such as roof sheeting, solar installs, guttering, or maintenance on completed structures. Unlike hang-on platforms,which cantilever off frames,these systems are installed directly onto the roof structure, providing access from above rather than from the perimeter.

They are ideal for use in pitched roof settings, lightweight framing systems, and where ground or fascia access is restricted. Each platform is engineered to meet AS/NZS fall protection standards, offering safe movement across roof lines while keeping ground-level space clear for other trades or deliveries.

These solutions are increasingly popular in tight-access residential builds or retrofits where conventional scaffold isn’t viable, but safety and fall prevention are still critical.

Hang On Systems

  • Installed directly onto the roof,no frame hang-off or ground scaffold required
  • Improves safety during solar, sheeting & gutter installs
  • Engineered for weight distribution & non-slip access
  • Ideal for retrofits, renos, or tight boundary sites

The building industry is facing one of its toughest times and reliable suppliers are hard to come by. Direct Scaffolds are one of the few suppliers we've dealt with who were not only responsive but they have delivered on time, with great service and at a cost effective price point. This is the first build where our construction company have used them and we will certainly continue to do so for future jobs.

I had the best experience working with this company. From the production manager, installers and the operations manager, all interactions were helpful, polite and extremely professional. They understood my personal circumstances and worked with me to tailor a solution to my needs.

Direct Scaffold did a great job scaffolding our house. They got very responsible and respectful workers. The left the site very neat and they wrapped up all spare parts after they completed their work. The leader Jeff came and check the work the next day. We were very lucky to have them!

On Roof Platform FAQs

An on-roof platform is a temporary work surface installed directly on the roof to allow safe, stable access for tasks like sheeting, solar installs, or roof maintenance. It differs from hang-on systems, which cantilever off frames.

Use on-roof platforms when ground-level scaffold isn’t viable, such as in tight-access sites, roof retrofits, or solar installs on existing dwellings where only the roof requires access.

Yes. Our systems are engineered to meet AS/NZS 1576 and 1657, ensuring full WHS compliance for elevated roof work. We provide all documentation for site safety reviews or audits.

These platforms are used by roofers, solar installers, guttering contractors, and maintenance teams needing elevated access without perimeter scaffold or frame tie-ins.

Absolutely. We supply and install on-roof platforms throughout Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich, and Toowoomba, with fast lead times and full compliance service.
