There so many possible types of applications that you can create with our Hand Rails range. From fire escapes to agricultural enclosures, they are fully customisable and have a wide range of tubing and fittings to suit your needs.
As well as being a hard wearing structure that is built to last through frequent use and harsh weather; these kits are able to be reused and reassembled. From industrial to commercial and domestic use, the various Tube and Clamp sizes are able to accommodate.
Complete Hand Rail Systems
Also known as Key Clamp, Tube Clamp or Pipe Clamp, these systems are fully comprehensive. We provide both Standard Complete Key Clamp Systems and Complete Sloped Key Clamp Systems – making ordering the fittings pain free! Here are the complete system sizes available:
- Size 5 (26.9mm)
- Size 6 (33.7mm)
- Size 7 (42.4mm)
- Size 8 (48.3mm)
Steel Tubes
There are different sizes of tube available for your system, please see the table below:
Key Clamp Size | Outer Tube Diameter (mm) | Nominal Bore (mm) |
5 | 26.9 | 20 |
6 | 33.7 | 25 |
7 | 42.4 | 32 |
8 | 48.3 | 40 |
All of the tubes are galvanised with a zinc coating as standard to resist the formation of rust on the structure. However, Powder Coating is also available on the tubing to give it an aesthetically pleasing appearance with bright colour options.
Fittings
Particularly in more complex railing systems, having the correct fittings is essential for a safe construction; this is why we stock a range of fitting types. Fitting size needs to be chosen in accordance with the tube sizing.
Guard Rails
Guard Rails are used in multitude of different locations and for various purposes, including marking boundaries and providing support/protection. There are two different types of Guard Rail Systems- with a Sight top and without a sight top.
Location | Function and Purpose |
Along the edge of roads and junctions | Protection/Boundary |
Bordering on staircases and outdoor steps | Support/Protection |
Edging balconies | Protection |
Following steep walkways | Support/Protection |
Surrounding play areas | Protection/Boundary |
Outside Schools | Protection/Boundary |
Guard Rails with a Sight Top:
Guard Rails with Sight Tops are the most popular option as they offer pedestrians higher levels of visibility through the railings. The Sight Top is offered within its construction and has the option to have either staggered or inline bars within the frame. It is more commonly used on roads that contain bends and to indicate areas where it is safer for pedestrians to cross.
Guard Rails without a Sight Top:
Guard Rails that do not contain a sight top are the most basic choice of Guard Rail system. Like the Guard Rails with the sight top, these are available with both in-line and staggered infill bars. As they do not offer a higher level visibility for pedestrians and vehicles; these railings are often used to divide busy highways and pavements. They are considered to be best used on roads that are straight.
