Fabricated Hand Rails

Fabricated Hand Rails are steel safety railings for the open edges of platforms, mezzanines, walkways and stairs. Posts fixed on base plates carry a top rail and a mid rail, set out to follow the structure they guard. Every run is made to the site drawing, so there is no standard size: request a quote with the layout, quantity and finish.

At a glance

Fabricated Hand Rails at a glance.

Function

Guards open edges

Rails run along platform edges, stair flights and walkways, giving people working at height a barrier and a handhold.

Construction

Posts, top rail, mid rail

Upright posts on base plates carry a top rail at hand height and a mid rail below it. Toe boards, gates and returns are added where the drawing shows them.

Made to order

Set out to your structure

Post spacing, bends, corners and stair rakes follow the platform or stair the rail is fixed to, so each run is fabricated from the site drawing.

How it works

Bolted to the edge, tied by the rails

Base plates bolt to the platform steelwork or floor, and on stairs the posts fix to the stringer. The rails tie every post together so the run acts as one barrier, and returns at corners and ends close off the edge.

Common applications

Where it is used.

Application

Mezzanine floors

Storage and plant mezzanines need guarding along every open edge and around the stair head.

Application

Stairs and access platforms

Stair flights take raked rails that follow the pitch, joined to level rails on the landings.

Application

Walkways and plant rooms

Walkways over machinery and pipework keep maintenance crews behind a continuous rail.

What does Corona need to quote fabricated hand rails?

Fabricated hand rails are quoted from a layout of the platform, stair or walkway: the run lengths, corners, stair pitches and how the posts fix to the structure. Add the rail height the site rules require, any gates or toe boards, the finish and the quantity.
