Side-Mounted Edge Protection Post (Fixed)
$180.00
The side mounted edge protection post fixed height design is a heavy-duty vertical-mount steel post for slab edges, balconies and areas where top-surface mounting is restricted.
The HC45 Side-Mounted Post is engineered to provide an uncompromised safety barrier while keeping the work surface 100% clear. By anchoring to the vertical face of a structure, this post is the ideal solution for scaffold edge protection and balcony perimeters. It allows crews to finish floor surfaces or install membranes right to the edge without moving the temporary edge protection system.
Key Advantages
- Clear Work Zone: Maximizes usable floor space—ideal for high-rise finishing and balcony waterproofing.
- High-Strength Profile: 40x40mm steel construction with a 1.5mm wall thickness for maximum impact resistance.
- Drop-In Compatibility: Dual integrated brackets allow for rapid “hook and lock” installation of all OZKB barrier panels.
Specifications
- Model: HC45
- Height: 1.20 meters
- Profile: 40 x 40 mm
- Material: Galvanized or powder-coated high-tensile steel.
The side mounted edge protection post fixed height design is the reliable, no-adjustment solution for construction sites requiring consistent side-face slab mounting. Where the adjustable side-mounted post offers height flexibility, the fixed version delivers maximum structural rigidity at a set height — making it the preferred choice for projects with uniform slab thicknesses and consistent floor levels.
The side mounted edge protection post fixed design attaches directly to the vertical face of concrete slabs, balconies and structural edges — providing a stable, OSHA-compliant anchor point for all HodChutes steel mesh panels without requiring height adjustment on site.
Side Mounted Edge Protection Post Fixed Applications
The side mounted edge protection post fixed height post is the right solution for:
- Construction slab edges where top-surface mounting is restricted
- Balconies and elevated platforms requiring side face mounting
- Projects with uniform slab thicknesses where fixed height is sufficient
- Sites requiring maximum structural rigidity without height adjustment
- Any application where a consistent fixed height side mount post is required

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a side mounted edge protection post fixed height design?
A side mounted edge protection post fixed height design is a steel guardrail post that attaches to the vertical face of a concrete slab or structural edge at a fixed, non-adjustable height. Unlike adjustable posts, the fixed version prioritizes structural rigidity and simplicity — making it the preferred choice for projects with consistent slab thicknesses where height adjustment is not required.
When should I choose the fixed side mounted post over the adjustable version?
Choose the side mounted edge protection post fixed height design when your project has uniform slab thicknesses and a consistent guardrail height is sufficient across all zones. Choose the adjustable side mounted post when slab heights vary or height flexibility is needed across different areas of your project.
Does the side mounted edge protection post fixed meet OSHA requirements?
Yes. The side mounted edge protection post fixed height design 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 fixed side mounted post compatible with all HodChutes panels?
Yes. The side mounted edge protection post fixed height design 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.
