Adjustable Side-Mounted Edge Protection Post
$180.00
The adjustable side mounted edge protection post delivers ultimate vertical-mount flexibility. It combines height adaptability with a specialized offset to clear architectural features on construction sites.
Engineered for complex façades and multi-tier balconies, the HC43 offers both side-mounting stability and a telescoping height range (1.07m to 1.40m). It features a 6.5cm offset from the structure, providing the necessary clearance for architectural details while maintaining a rigid roof edge fall protection barrier. This is a premium component of any advanced leading edge fall protection system, allowing for fine-tuned safety adjustments on the fly.
Key Advantages
- Dual-Axis Flexibility: Combines vertical side-mounting with adjustable height to meet shifting leading edge fall protection requirements.
- Offset Clearance: The 6.5cm structure-to-post gap allows for easier installation around ledges and trim.
- Structural Integrity: Heavy-duty 48mm/42mm tube construction designed to withstand significant lateral force in accordance with OSHA roof edge protection standards.
Specifications
- Model: HC43
- Height Range: 1.07 – 1.40 meters
- Structure Offset: 6.5 cm
- Tube Profile: 48mm (External) / 42mm (Internal)

The adjustable side mounted edge protection post is the most versatile mounting solution in the HodChutes edge protection range. Designed for situations where top-mounting is not possible, this post attaches directly to the vertical face of concrete slabs and structural edges — providing a stable, height-adjustable anchor point for all HodChutes steel mesh panels.
The adjustable side mounted edge protection post combines telescoping height adjustment with a specialized offset bracket that clears architectural features, drip edges and slab overhangs — making it the professional choice for complex construction environments where standard top-mount posts cannot be deployed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an adjustable side mounted edge protection post?
An adjustable side mounted edge protection post is a height-adjustable guardrail post that attaches to the vertical face of concrete slabs and structural edges. Unlike top-mounted posts, it installs on the side face of the slab — making it the ideal solution for situations where top-mounting is not possible due to architectural features or structural constraints.
When should I use a side mounted post instead of a top mounted post?
Choose the adjustable side mounted edge protection post when your slab edge has architectural features, drip edges or overhangs that prevent top-mounting. The specialized offset bracket clears these features while maintaining a secure, OSHA-compliant anchor point for your edge protection panels.
Does the adjustable side mounted edge protection post meet OSHA requirements?
Yes. The adjustable side mounted edge protection post is OSHA compliant and engineered to meet construction edge protection requirements when used as part of a complete HodChutes modular edge protection system.
Is the adjustable side mounted post compatible with all HodChutes panels?
Yes. The adjustable side mounted edge protection post is fully compatible with all HodChutes steel mesh panels — from the 1.0m barrier to the 2.5m maximum span barrier — making it a fully modular component of any HodChutes edge protection system.
