Attach to the rafter, snap in the rail, align horizontally, tighten - done! Thanks to the reduced number of components, the new XT-R roof hook is a time-saving solution for mounting PV modules onto pitched roofs.
THE CHALLENGE
Bulky or inflexible parts on commercially available roof hooks make transportation to the construction site difficult. The large number of product parts makes quick installation difficult. Additional process steps in production have an impact on production costs and therefore on the final price for customers. Current roof hook series increase the transport volume due to their bulky components. Smaller assemblies, such as the quick release, could not be adequately secured during delivery.
THE SOLUTION
Thanks to the intelligent reduction of product elements and an integrated quick-release clamp, AEROCOMPACT optimizes the installation process and makes assembly much more efficient. The proven three-stage aerocompact grid of the base plate enables uncomplicated adjustment to the height of the roof battens and ensures high stability. The new COMPACTPITCH XT-R roof hook is an improved alternative to its predecessor models and makes installation considerably easier: simply attach the XT-R roof hook to the rafter, snap in the rail, align horizontally, tighten – done! The XT-R series therefore positions itself as an extremely efficient solution for use on tiled roofs and scores points above all with its quick and easy installation.
ONE HOOK FOR EVERYTHING
- THE QUICK RELEASE: The XT-R roof hook is supplied with an integrated quick release. The click mechanism makes installation and handling much more efficient.
- SPACE-SAVING PRODUCT COMPONENTS: Thanks to the new product design, the XT-R roof hook can be easily folded. This reduces transportation and storage costs.
- QUICK FIXING: The base plate is positioned and fixed to the rafter with just one screw. After adjustment to the roof batten height using 3-level structuring, the roof hook is fixed in place.
- INTELLIGENT ADJUSTMENT: The small-tooth ratchet in combination with the disc spring allows the rail to be easily leveled and prevents the upper part of the hook from slipping during installation.
THE SYSTEM ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE
- Integrated quick release
- Foldable design
- Cost-effective storage
- One-man assembly
- Precise leveling
- Intelligent adjustment
ALSO NEW: COMPACTPITCH XM-B
The new XM-B replacement tile system works in conjunction with the XT-R hook to replace the original concrete or clay tile. The XM-B family can be used for the most common roof tile types in Europe and supports their durability. Especially in regions where high snow loads are to be expected, metal replacement tiles guarantee a reduced risk of breakage in contrast to conventional tiles. A foam wedge is also included for optimum sealing against water ingress (tested watertightness in accordance with prEN15601), and the adjustable metal apron means that the XM-B can be fitted easily and without tools – eliminating the need for mechanical processing of the roof tiles and making installation safer overall.
