Industrial Handrail System

10

Industrial Handrail System:


Guardrails industrial handrail system consists of Ball type handrail
posts and individually fabricated handrails which once passed through the
ball in the post are locked into position by way of a grub-screw to form a
complete handrail.
Different post diameters, wall thickness and spacing coupled with a
variety of base types mean that the majority of loading requirements are
met whilst its aesthetic qualities are usually preferred to clamp and other
types of handrail systems.
The system is easily erected/dismantled in small sections and can be
tailored to suit many applications.
All products are available in mild, stainless steel and aluminium.

Industrial Handrail Systems


Current regulations require All
platforms and walkways to have
protective barriers on all open
sides, consisting of a handrail, knee
or intermediate rail, toe-plate and
Handrail Standards.
The distance between two rails, or
between the lower rail and the top
of an up-stand shall be no more than
500mm.
