Rooftop Bracket or Jack System for Supporting Roofers, Roofing Supplies or Other Rooftop Loads
A rooftop bracket or bundle jack system features a first unit arranged for fastening to a sloped roof near the peak, and one or more additional link units arranged to hang downward from the first unit. Each unit features supports for a step or platform for workers, supplies, tools, etc. Through this series of linked units, multiple steps/platforms are provided at different heights along the roof without needing to individually fasten each unit down. Hangers on the first unit are slidably adjustable to line up with the rafters or trusses beneath the roof sheathing for secure fastening thereto. Tie-off loops for fall-safety lines are provided on the securely fastened first unit. The step supports are movable between stowed and deployed positions, and detachable from the unit. Connection points for one or more utilities (air, water, electrical) are provided, whereby the system acts as a rooftop distribution point.
