Please note:

S‑5!® Clamps are not suitable as fall protection or fall arrest systems and may only be used for this purpose in a certified and approved fall arrest system. The respective fall arrest system provider is responsible for this and must provide proof of this.

With very few exceptions, the load-bearing capacity of each individual S‑5!® clamp is greater than the load-bearing capacity of the roof panels or profile sheets and their fastening to the supporting structure. This applies not only to the normal clamps but also to the S‑5!® mini clamps. Therefore, the weak points are usually not the clamps, but the roof covering and its fastening.

Depending on the use of the respective S‑5!® clamp, it must be ensured that the forces transferred from the clamp to the seam can be absorbed by the seam or by the supporting structure. In particular, the snow and wind loads, the additional loads from the installations attached to the clamps, as well as the increased stresses in the edge and corner areas of the roof structure must be taken into account. A sufficient number of clamps must be provided. For statically relevant clamps, a distance of at least 500 mm from the end of the standing seam profile must be maintained.

The builder, owner or operator is responsible for the stability of a building. The person who installs the system is responsible not only for the system, but also for the roof on which he installs it. Anyone who installs a system on an existing roof without first checking its stability is violating existing law! The sufficient holding power of the covering on the supporting or substructure must always be ensured. The proof must be provided on site. In cases of doubt, a structural engineer must be consulted in advance to determine the load and its transfer.
