Adjustable Top-Mounted Edge Protection Post
$180.00
The HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post is a versatile telescoping post designed to adapt to varying slab heights and complex multi-level construction environments.
The HC55 is the professional’s answer to dynamic job site conditions. When floor levels are uneven or project specifications change, this adjustable post allows for precision height calibration (1.07m to 1.40m) without the need for additional components. It is a critical piece of leading edge fall protection equipment that streamlines inventory and ensures a consistent safety perimeter across diverse structural elevations.
Key Advantages
- Variable Height: Features a telescoping 48mm/42mm tube design to meet specific leading edge fall protection requirements.
- Inventory Efficiency: One post replaces multiple fixed-height units, simplifying on-site logistics and setup.
- Secure Top-Mount: Engineered for high-load stability when anchored directly to concrete slabs or structural decking.
Specifications
- Model: HC55
- Height Range: 1.07 – 1.40 meters
- Tension System: External (48mm) / Internal (42mm) heavy-duty steel tubing.
- Standard: Meets OSHA roof edge protection (1926.502) and EN 13374 compliance.
The HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post is the most versatile post in the HodChutes edge protection range. Its telescoping dual-tube design adjusts from 1.07m to 1.40m — allowing a single post to accommodate varying slab heights and uneven floor levels across a construction project without requiring additional components.
When project specifications change or floor levels vary between zones, the HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post eliminates the need to stock multiple fixed-height posts — streamlining on-site inventory and reducing logistics costs on large commercial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an adjustable top mounted edge protection post?
An adjustable top mounted edge protection post is a telescoping guardrail post that mounts directly to the top of concrete slabs and structural decking. Unlike fixed-height posts, it adjusts in height to accommodate varying slab thicknesses and floor levels across a construction project.
What height range does the HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post cover?
The HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post telescopes from 1.07m to 1.40m, accommodating a wide range of slab heights and structural elevations on construction sites without requiring additional components.
Does the HC55 meet OSHA edge protection requirements?
Yes. The HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post is OSHA compliant and engineered to meet roof edge protection requirements for construction sites. Its heavy-duty steel tubing provides high-load stability when anchored to concrete slabs or structural decking.
When should I choose the HC55 adjustable post over a fixed-height post?
Choose the HC55 adjustable top mounted edge protection post when your project involves multiple floor levels, varying slab heights, or when you want to reduce on-site inventory by using one post across different height requirements rather than stocking multiple fixed-height units.
