Long Rail Ultra

Maximum load-bearing capacity — the go-to solution for extreme wind environments and industrial structures.

The Long Rail Ultra is SunMount's heaviest-duty purlin-mounted rail. Its increased cross-section and wall thickness deliver higher bending stiffness, enabling wider purlin spacings without additional support. The system is certified for wind speeds up to 200 km/h and is ideal for large-span industrial sheds and coastal environments where load-to-weight ratio is critical.

  • Maximum bending stiffness — widest purlin spacing
  • Rated up to 200 km/h wind speed
  • Fewer roof penetrations vs Mini/Mono Rail
  • Reuses existing J-bolt holes on asbestos sheets
  • Universal for any trapezoidal crest profile
  • FEA & wind load analysis certified

Applications: Industrial shed · Large-span factory · Coastal installation · Asbestos cement roof

Long Rail Light

Economical purlin-mounted rail for landscape orientation — fewer penetrations, faster installation.

The Long Rail Light is a lighter, more economical variant of the purlin-mounted system, optimised for landscape-orientation panels. Its reduced material cross-section keeps project costs lower while still delivering far fewer roof penetrations than Mini or Mono Rail installations. Compatible with existing self-drilling screw holes on asbestos sheets, making retrofits simple.

  • Cost-effective purlin-mounted solution
  • Landscape orientation — wide row coverage
  • Fewer roof penetrations vs Mini/Mono Rail
  • Uses existing self-drilling screw holes
  • Compatible with asbestos cement roofs
  • Easy installation & maintenance

Applications: Industrial shed · Warehouse · Asbestos roof · Light commercial

Long Rail Pro

Premium grade with the highest load capacity — engineered for landscape arrays on the most demanding structures.

The Long Rail Pro is the flagship of the Long Rail range, combining the greatest cross-section wall thickness with a robust profile optimised for landscape panel orientation. It is designed for premium commercial and industrial projects where structural engineers require the highest certified load ratings, the widest allowable purlin spacings, and a single-rail solution across large landscape arrays.

  • Highest load rating in the Long Rail range
  • Optimised for landscape orientation
  • Maximum permitted purlin spacing
  • FEA-certified for extreme wind zones
  • Single-rail solution for large landscape arrays
  • Compatible with all PV module brands

Applications: Premium commercial · Large landscape array · Extreme wind zone · Large-span industrial
