Guardrail Handrail Systems comply with BS4592 and BS EN ISO 14122. Current regulations call for all platforms to have a protective barrier around all open sides, consisting of a handrail, at least one intermediate or knee rail, a toe plate (where above a working area) and handrail standards.
The top of the handrail shall be a minimum distance of 1100 mm above walking level and the distance from the top ‘handrail’ to the intermediate rail shall be a maximum of 500 mm.
When considering handrail system design, it is important to have the following information:
Handrails can be manufactured from mild steel or stainless steel, we also supply infills, gates and specialized bends for working environments.
We manufacture tubular standards, which consist of tubular balls welded to tube and also solid standards which consist of solid forged balls welded to solid bar, both then have the require base welded to the shank depending of the requirement. Compared to alternatives the system requires reduced installation time, reduced risk of loose fixing and reduced requirement of standards. Handrail standards can be manufactured with many variations including single ball stanchions, 3 ball stanchions and can be manufactured with special base plates. Where necessary gate hinges and kick plate brackets can be welded to the standards.
Guardrail’s "AXESS" vertical permanent ladder system is of a safe, simple modular design offering individual parts which bolt together to form a complete ladder. Parts are ex stock for quick delivery or can be supplied as a complete ladder packed on a pallet for cost effective transportation, ready to erect on site. This system tries to eliminate the need for expensive site surveys and the preparation of detail drawings which also adds to delivery time. The AX System is BS4211 compliant and is also supplied BS4211 and BSEN14122 compliant if required with the AXC System.

Our Vertical CAT ladder component system eliminates the need for expensive site surveys and the preparation of detail drawings.
Industrial flooring comes in many shapes and sizes to suit a variety of applications within the workplace. Elevated platforms, stairs and walkways are a few prominent examples of where this material is used. The slip resistant attributes of flooring is always an important factor when considering which type to use; as safety is paramount on all sites. Guardrail offer a range of solutions including perforated flooring products that provide high slip resistance, excellent drainage and comply to the latest British Standards. These can all be designed to meet a range of loadings from minimum maintenance up to plant equipment and even higher design loads. All of which can be supplied fully fabricated finished and galvanised ready to fit.
Protective barriers on open sides of walkways and platforms should, in part, consist of a kick-flat ( or toe-board ) to restrict objects falling from height and causing possible injury. The minimum height of the kick flat upstand from walkway level should be 100mm, kickplate is required where walking level is above a working area.Guardrail ”C” Section Kick Flat System is ex-stock in 3m lengths, lengths that can either be cut on site or shop fabricated to suit customer requirements.
These coupled with ’U’ type post connections give a flexible, easy to fit and aesthetically pleasing product that can be part of a new installation or retro fitted to bring existing areas up to the requirements of the latest regulations.
