HAVICOOL Flat Roof Support Systems

Engineered Reliability for Rooftop HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment

For any project requiring the installation of air conditioning units, refrigeration equipment, or mechanical systems on flat roofs, the choice of support solution directly impacts operational safety, building maintenance costs, and indoor environmental quality.


HAVICOOL now introduces our series of flat roof support systems—engineered solutions designed specifically to address these technical challenges. Our approach goes beyond simply supplying products: we provide comprehensive solution platforms that flexibly adapt to diverse application scenarios. Whether you need to support a single condensing unit, a large Air Handling Unit (AHU), or complex piping systems, HAVICOOL delivers proven, engineering-validated solutions backed by expert technical support.


PART ONE: The Three Core Challenges of Rooftop Equipment Installation

Before introducing HAVICOOL support systems, it's essential to understand the three universal challenges in rooftop equipment installation. The solutions to these challenges form the design foundation of every system we offer.


Challenge One: How to Achieve Stable Support Without Damaging the Waterproofing Membrane?

Traditional installation methods require drilling into the roof to secure equipment supports. This directly compromises the integrity of the waterproofing layer. Even with subsequent sealing, leakage risks persist—and when leaks occur, repair costs far exceed the initial installation expense.

HAVICOOL Solution: Non-penetrating support foot design that achieves stable positioning through weight distribution and friction, completely eliminating damage to the roof membrane.

Challenge Two: How to Prevent Equipment Vibration from Affecting Building Structure and Indoor Environments?

Operating equipment such as air conditioning units and condensers generates continuous vibration. Without effective vibration isolation in the support system, these vibrations transmit through the building structure, creating low-frequency noise that disturbs the comfort of top-floor office and residential spaces.

HAVICOOL Solution: Integrated anti-vibration pads that isolate vibration transmission at the source, preserving indoor acoustic comfort.

Challenge Three: How to Make Installation and Maintenance More Efficient and Flexible?

Rooftop equipment installation often faces tight schedules and complex on-site conditions. An ideal support system should enable rapid installation, offer flexible adjustment, and facilitate future maintenance such as equipment servicing and pipeline replacement.

HAVICOOL Solution: Modular architecture with standardized interfaces, enabling quick assembly, easy adjustment, and convenient access for maintenance.

PART TWO: HAVICOOL Systematic Solutions

Based on deep understanding of these challenges, the HAVICOOL support systems series comprises three complementary product lines. While they share the same core technologies—non-penetrating design, integrated vibration isolation, and modular architecture—each is specifically optimized for different application scenarios.

Ensure the roof surface is level and clean before installation. Address any significant unevenness or debris to prevent uneven support foot loading.

2. Load Distribution Calculation

Calculate the number and distribution of support points based on equipment weight and local wind load standards. For large equipment, structural engineer verification is recommended. HAVICOOL can provide technical data to support these calculations.

3. Leveling Calibration

After frame assembly, verify leveling using a spirit level. All HAVICOOL systems feature fine-adjustment capability (±10mm height range).

4. Regular Inspection

Semi-annual inspections are recommended, focusing on:


Inspection Item What to Check
