Evidence-backed Roof Support Systems

Often, prefabricated rooftop supports lack sufficient proof of their load-bearing capabilities, offering only data on individual components without assurance that they function effectively as a system. MX-R addresses this gap with rigorous physical and theoretical testing, including detailed FEA analysis, confirming its compliance to recent building regulations.

One-Person Installations

M&E contractors have project deadlines, so naturally, you’ll want your M&E supports to be assembled quickly without disrupting ongoing site work. MX-R arrives prefabricated in a convenient kit form, enabling quick, easy on-site assembly without extensive tools, labour, or hassle—allowing your project to stay on schedule.

Adjustable

All MX-R products have height adjustable legs to adapt to varying roof pitches and accommodate different platform heights. The channel-based structure means lengths can be easily adjusted and connections made to the frames in any position.

Modular

MX-R is a modular system – think Lego or Meccano – designed and built from regular components for easy transportation and part or full assembly on site. Modular construction using regular parts drives efficiencies and cost savings when compared to bespoke fabrications.

How is MX-R Different?

Typically, rooftop supports and access products are a hybrid of off-the-shelf frames and stepovers, and bespoke designs and fabrications where standard products are not suited to the application.

MX-R was designed to change this concept and enable almost unlimited support frames and access units to be configured and supplied ‘off-the-shelf’.

MX-R is a modular system based on MX channel profiles and a range of off-the-shelf components. Using this suite of basic components, an almost unlimited range of plant frames, step-overs, walkways and platforms can be designed, supplied and assembled quickly and economically.

"I thought MX-R was a very good product, to be honest.What worked for me was that the drawing was very good, transportation was excellent, the packaging was very good, and from our side, there was very minimal work to do because it was all laid out for us. I thought the pre-assembled kit was very good and the project went very smoothly."
