Can you integrate kick-plates into the railing design?

We frequently include integrated toe-boards or kick-plates as part of the railing assembly. This is a critical safety requirement for mezzanine floors to prevent tools or debris from falling onto personnel or machinery below. Our standard kick-plate is 100mm but we fabricate everything in-line with your requirements.

Do you offer infill panels for balustrades?

We can provide various infill options to suit your environment, budget and aesthetic, including industrial wire mesh, perforated plate, steel wires, solid steel sheets or reinforced glass panels.

Do you manufacture and install industrial railings and handrails?

Yes, we provide a complete service covering the design, fabrication, and installation of railings and handrails. Our end-to-end approach ensures your handrail system is delivered efficiently and installed to the highest quality standards. All our installers are CSCS accredited and have a wide range of working at height and other safety qualifications.

What are the standard height requirements for industrial handrails?

To comply with BS EN ISO 14122-3, the top of the handrail must be a minimum of 1100mm above the walking surface. We also incorporate intermediate "knee rails" and kick-plates to ensure there are no gaps larger than 500mm.

What are Industrial Handrails?

Industrial handrails are essential safety features designed to protect people and provide support in industrial and commercial environments. Commonly installed along walkways, stairs, ramps and platforms, they help prevent falls, aid balance and ensure safe movement throughout a space. Built to meet strict safety regulations, industrial handrails play a crucial role in maintaining a secure and compliant workplace.

FAQs

For most external industrial uses, we recommend hot-dip galvanised mild steel ball-type handrail. This provides decades of maintenance-free corrosion resistance and is ideal for industrial settings. For aesthetics, you may prefer a top coat of powder coating which offers a wide range of colours. Stainless steel is also a popular choice in high-use public areas, and environments like food manufacturing.
