Developed for superior roof protection, our walkway systems are lightweight for minimal loads, strong for maximum spans, raised to avoid debris traps and non-penetrating to preserve the integrity of your building.
Made from premium aluminium, our lightweight, strong walkway structures transfer loads to the roofing structure, bearing no weight on the roofing itself. The aluminium beams span up to 3m between supports while maintaining a massive live load of 1.5Kpa/m, or about two people per square metre. Instead of a clip penetrating into the roof at multiple points along the walkway, the Monkeytoe system utilises a viscoelastic structural adhesive tape. The long spans mean fewer contact points with the roofing for greater design and installation flexibility. All materials are corrosion free, compatible with modern roofing systems and use open knurled mesh for non-slip access even in icy conditions. These walkways are teamed with our handrails and guardrails.
Our Benefits
Mounting capability for any roofing profile
No additional roofing penetrations for mounting
All loading/weight is transferred to building or support structure
NOTE: Configurations could take up to three minutes to load fully depending on the size & complexity as it is configured in real-time based on requirements.
This system has been designed to the AS/NZS 1170, Parts 0, 1, 2, 3 & 5 Structural design actions and in accordance with the Building B1 structure code.
I worked with Monkeytoe at HMAS Cerberus to design and install 4 x mechanical plant decks. From design to the install onsite under strict defence guidelines nothing was a problem and the process was made easy by there willingness to achieve whatever was required to produce the best outcome. Even a design change mid assembly didn’t faze the onsite team that achieved a fantastic finished product that was better then expected given the install locations. I look forward to working with Monkeytoe in the future.

Monkeytoe was very professional and helpful from the onset. They have an impressive range of designs for roof access and it’s obvious why they are leaders in the industry.

Monkeytoe were engaged to supply us with an alternative to our traditional structural steel rooftop mechanical plant platform.
The design utilising strong and lightweight materials is a great advantage. The seamless interface of their supports with our traditional structural steel roof beams works perfectly.
An all-in-one package complete with deck structure, mesh and sound wall, had a positive affect to the program that was a great bonus for the construction team. Monkeytoe did it all with great efficiency and speed, saving construction costs and time to our overall program. All components arrived from New Zealand on time and in good condition (even with the added complications of Covid-19!). Initial assembly was done in the carpark of the site and then easily craned into position on the roof.
The Monkeytoe team in New Zealand and here in Australia were efficient, easy to work with and a pleasure to deal with. We are more than proud to have the first of your systems, on our site, in Australia.
Platform Deck was supplied, and installed as per our expectations and designed in a manner as to accommodate extra support underneath larger plant units. Some extra supports were required as the units had to be adjusted in position onsite therefore causing some minor point load issues, however Monkeytoe were more than helpful to supply the additional supports despite it being the fault of another contractor.
In our opinion and also in the opinion of our acoustic engineer, the finish quality of the plant deck and especially the acoustic screening was standout. The acoustic engineer was impressed with the design and also quality of finishing and said it was some of the best he has seen. In early days we did have some concerns as to how the platform would be fixed through the kingspan roofing however the mounting clips worked perfectly.
Exceptional quality and exceptional administration service!
Originally the HVAC for Target road was designed across 4 platforms with numerous walkways for serviceability. However after a rethink and redesign a single platform was proposed and after discussions with Monkeytoe Xbeam was suggested as a solution. The advantages for our client have been the reduction of walkways, the ability to add an additional Air Con unit for future proofing and the reduction in structural upgrade with Xbeam supported from portal frames.

The absorptive nature of the HushMonkey Acoustic Panel delivers superior performance over a standard barrier system, with more sound being absorbed within the enclosure, significantly reducing noise emissions to the surrounding environment.

We have provided a safer, more accessible access method for our staff by using the Monkeytoe access solution.
Vitaco’s requirement for a 70m long elevated walkway was quickly understood by MonkeyToe and we were given 3D designs to review. MonkeyToe’s engineers worked closely with our architects and engineers to produce a final design. We’ve been kept well informed throughout the project and the result is an impressive looking walkway, which is rock solid, a critical factor as it’s 7m above the warehouse floor and used by 50 staff everyday.
