Why are CAREX® walkways the best solution? In industrial roof projects and photovoltaic solar installations , the choice of technical transit system directly influences roof safety, structural durability, and the total cost of the project .
CAREX technical walkways have been specifically designed as a professional walkway solution for metal roofs and sandwich panels , surpassing generic industrial gratings and adapted systems on the market.
In this article we analyze from a technical perspective why CAREX® walkways are the best alternative compared to the competition .
1. Specific design for photovoltaic roofs
Unlike standard solutions, CAREX® walkways are designed for technical transit on solar rooftops .
Key advantages:
- Full compatibility with rooftop photovoltaic installations .
- Integration with lifelines and fall protection systems.
- Protection of the sandwich panel against point loads.
- Optimized solution for O&M maintenance.
2. Optimized load distribution in sandwich panel
One of the main problems in industrial roofs is deformation due to point load .
The CAREX® walkways:
- They distribute the load over a larger surface area.
- They reduce the risk of dents in sheet metal.
- Minimizes structural damage to sandwich panels.
- They improve long-term structural safety.
Unlike conventional industrial grates, CAREX® is designed as a roof protection system , not just as a passage surface.
3. Certified anti-slip safety
Safety in working at heights is a priority in industrial and photovoltaic maintenance.
CAREX® walkways incorporate:
- Non-slip surface. Discover more about R-13 in the slip resistance test.
- Design that prevents water accumulation.
- Greater stability for operators.
- Reduction of the risk of slipping.
This improves compliance with occupational risk prevention regulations on industrial roofs .
4. High resistance to corrosion and aggressive environments
The decks are exposed to:
- UV radiation
- Marine environments
- Constant humidity
- Industrial pollution
CAREX® uses materials with high corrosion resistance, which allows:
- Longer lifespan.
- Less maintenance.
- Reduction of total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Higher profitability in solar projects.

5. Modular, adaptable, and scalable system
On real decks we find:
- Skylights
- HVAC Equipment
- Lifelines
- Structural obstacles
CAREX® walkways allow:
- Modular configuration.
Adaptable to different widths.
Future expansions without complete dismantling.
Optimization of installation time. - Adaptable to different widths.
- Future expansions without complete dismantling.
- Optimization of installation time.
This provides an advantage over rigid market solutions.
6. Logistics optimization and international export
CAREX® has developed an optimized export system that:
- Maximize container cubic capacity.
- Reduces cost per linear meter transported.
- It allows for greater international competitiveness.
This logistical advantage is especially relevant for international distributors and projects.
