The Flat Roof/Slab Outrigger is used when hanging a debris chute from a flat roof application. This hanger uses counterweights (not included) to offset the weight of the chute. Please see the counterweight table to compute number of counterweights needed.

In architecture, a flat roof outrigger, also known as a slab outrigger, is a structural element that extends outward from the main roof structure to provide additional support. This type of outrigger is commonly used in modern building design to maximize indoor space while minimizing the overall footprint of the structure. The flat roof outrigger is typically constructed using steel or concrete beams that are anchored to the main building structure, allowing for a cantilevered extension of the roof slabs. This design feature not only creates a sleek and contemporary aesthetic but also allows for the creation of large, open living spaces with minimal interior columns.

One of the key advantages of incorporating a flat roof outrigger in building design is its ability to support heavy loads and provide structural stability. By distributing the weight of the roof across a wider area, the outrigger helps to reduce the risk of structural fatigue and potential collapse. Additionally, the extended roof slab created by the outrigger can be utilized as an outdoor terrace or living space, adding valuable square footage to the building without the need for additional support columns. Overall, the flat roof outrigger is a versatile and innovative architectural feature that offers both practical and aesthetic benefits in modern building design.
