What kinds of fall suppression systems does everyone use and where do you typically tie off?

     I highly recommend OSHA's fall prevention course. It is a great tool to ensure the safety of you and your employees.

     Good to see you here too, and anywhere else you show up. Why? Because I'm either gonna learn something or laugh my butt off at your no-holds-barred threads! Thanks Tucker, it's good to finally be here.

             I never get on a roof I would have to tie off or need suppression gear. If the roof is that steep the product will just flow with gravity and I will shoot from the roof edge from the ladder. Those hoses are slippery and it sucks being on a roof wishing you weren't. If the product with a surfactant readily flows, no real need to be on the roof,...if it doesn't flow, (low pitch) then it's probably fairly safe to be on.

Hi Jeff,
I`m looking at a church roof similar to the one in your pic , how did you spray that,from the roofs edge or ???. Will a devalan5850 spray that far from the edge. I im just getting this business off the ground but noticed alot of churchs and schools need their roofs cleaned , any assistance would be appreciated.

Make it a great day,

KID

 

Kid, yes a 5850 Delavan will shoot 30 feet, just enough to reach the top of that church Jeff did. From what I can tell and from my experience.

If I were you, I'd get the new FATBOY 7gpm pump. It will shoot even further, give you more flow, and Russ has spoken to Bob asking him how they are holding up and he says they are lasting longer than the old 5gpm Delavans.

I bought two FATBOYs, looking forward to replacing my old dual 5gpm Delavans when they die.

My old duals are still going strong, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
