Roofing Bucket Kit

Roofing Bucket Kit – Complete Fall Protection System for Roofing Professionals

The Roofing Bucket Kit (SKU: V5S01) is a comprehensive fall protection system designed for roofing contractors and trades professionals working at elevation. The kit includes a 5-point full-body harness, 50 ft. lifeline with attached rope grab, shock-absorbing lanyard with 3/4" hooks, a roof anchor, and a 4-gallon bucket for convenient storage and transport. All components meet or exceed ANSI Z359.11-2021, Z359.18-2017, Z359.13-2013, and Z359.15-2014 standards, making this kit compliant for professional job site use. It is engineered to accommodate a wide range of users with a capacity rating of 130–310 lbs.

Technical Specifications

Unlike purchasing individual fall protection components separately, this kit consolidates a harness, lifeline, rope grab, lanyard, roof anchor, and storage bucket into a single, job-site-ready package. The 4-gallon bucket keeps all components organized and portable, reducing setup time and the risk of missing critical safety equipment on the roof. The wide 130–310 lb. user capacity range means a single kit can serve virtually any crew member on the job.

Key Features & Benefits

5-Point Full-Body Harness

The harness features five points of adjustment — shoulder straps, leg straps, and chest strap — ensuring a secure, customized fit for workers across the full 130–310 lb. capacity range. A proper fit is critical for fall arrest performance, as a poorly fitted harness can shift during a fall event and increase injury risk.

Dorsal D-Ring Fall Arrest Attachment

The single dorsal attachment D-ring is positioned at the back for fall arrest, the industry-standard configuration for roofing and general construction applications. This placement distributes arrest forces across the torso and keeps the worker upright during and after a fall event.

5,000 lb. Breaking Strength Webbing

The 1.73 in. wide polyester webbing is rated to 5,000 lbs. breaking strength, providing a substantial safety margin well above the 3,600 lb. static strength test requirement. Polyester webbing resists UV degradation and moisture absorption better than nylon, maintaining performance across outdoor roofing environments.

50 ft. Lifeline with Attached Rope Grab

The included 50 ft. lifeline gives workers significant vertical range on steep or multi-story roofing projects. The rope grab attaches directly to the lifeline, allowing the worker to move freely along the line while automatically locking in the event of a fall.

Shock-Absorbing Lanyard

The shock-absorbing lanyard reduces the peak arrest force transmitted to the worker's body during a fall, limiting injury potential. The 3/4" hooks provide secure, positive-locking connections to anchor points and the rope grab.

Roof Anchor Included

A dedicated roof anchor is included in the kit, eliminating the need to source a compatible anchor point separately. This ensures the entire system is designed to work together and meet the applicable ANSI standards as a complete assembly.

4-Gallon Storage Bucket

All kit components store in a 4-gallon bucket, keeping fall protection gear organized, protected from jobsite damage, and easy to transport between locations. This also helps ensure no components are left behind or misplaced between uses.

Common Applications

Residential Roofing

Provides complete fall protection for shingle installation, tear-off, and repair work on pitched residential roofs where workers are exposed to fall hazards.

Commercial Roofing

Suitable for low-slope and steep-slope commercial roofing applications where a compliant personal fall arrest system is required by site safety plans.

Roof Inspection and Maintenance

Allows inspectors and maintenance crews to safely access roof surfaces for assessment, flashing repair, or gutter work without requiring a permanent anchor infrastructure.

General Elevated Work

The 50 ft. lifeline and adjustable harness make this kit adaptable for other elevated construction tasks where a vertical lifeline system is the appropriate fall protection method.
