Two options are available:

• Prefabricated hand rail panels custom made according to either the customer's drawings or our own site measurements.  Complete manufacturing drawings are available on request.
• A standard system consisting or predrilled stanchions with lenghts of railing and fittings for the customer to assemble as required.

Standard System

• A square stanchion is used with round tubing as railing.
• The railing is puched through the predrilled stanchions.
• All tubing ends in a stanchion therefore no closures or any other fittings are required.

Custom Made System

• The custom made panels are prefabricated with square hollow sections for both the stanchions and railing.
• The stanchions are pushed through the railing.
• The panels are ended off using GRP closures protruding beyond the end stanchions.
• Bends and slopes are created using GRP inserts.

For both systems the stanchions can be installed in various ways including:

• Side mounted by bolting it onto main structure.
• Top mounted using a GRP or Stainless steel foot piece.
• Cast into concrete using a pocket mechanism.
