Fixed outrigger beams are a permanent solution for supporting suspended access equipment. Unlike portable outriggers, these beams are engineered into the structure of the roof and provide a reliable rigging point for swing stages or powered platforms.
When They’re Used
Fixed outriggers are common on:
High-rises with regular façade maintenance
Buildings with no room for davits or anchors
Structures requiring long-term, heavy-duty access systems
How They Work
The beam extends past the parapet wall and is permanently attached to the roof structure. Counterweights or roof penetrations are not needed since the system is engineered directly into the building.
Advantages
Always ready for use — no setup or relocation needed
Strong, stable, and designed for repeated use
Eliminates rooftop clutter from portable equipment
Built to meet Cal/OSHA and ANSI standards
Why It Matters
If your building relies on frequent swing stage or powered platform access, fixed outriggers can save time, reduce costs, and provide the most secure option.
