PRODUCT FEATURES
Our steel handrail systems provide safe, compliant edge protection for walkways, platforms, stairs and mezzanines. Available in mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, with tubular or solid construction and a range of durable finishes, they are modular for easy on-site assembly.
Matching gates and mesh infill panels are available for a complete, integrated solution.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Our steel handrail systems are suitable for areas with a potential fall over 0.5 m, including walkways, platforms, landings and staircases. Available in tubular or solid construction, they can be integrated with Steelway systems or installed independently, with clearly marked components for straightforward assembly.

Finishes include mild steel (self colour, primed, hot-dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461, nylon coated* or powder coated), aluminium (mill finish or anodised) and stainless steel (mill or polished). Nylon coating not recommended for exposed conditions.
