Railsafe Double Cleat C/w Anti Luce

RailSafe Double Cleat (w/Anti Luce)

RailSafe System - Overview

Ockwells RailSafe System is designed to form a reusable temporary safety barrier which can be used in a multitude of applications, including in conjunction with the Ockwells Stairwell Hatch System.

The RailSafe system comprises of a combination of metal corner and straight posts, combined with adjustable metal rails. Incorporated into the system is a Ladder Gate which creates a safe ladder access point and also acts to securely close off any openings, reducing the risk of falls from height.

When appropriate, RailSafe can be used in conjunction with the Stairwell Hatch System to form the perfect reusable safety system for securing open stairwells, whilst still allowing for controlled access for personnel and materials.

The RailSafe system has been tested by an independent body to BS EN13374:2013 (Class A). Furthermore, an independent structural engineer has also certified that the RailSafe system meets the requirements of the above standard.

RailSafe - Components
Ockwells RailSafe System is configured from the items in the component list below and can be combined to suit a number of configurations.

• RailSafe Safety Post Standard (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Safety Post Corner (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Safety Double Cleat (w/Anti Luce)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (200 - 365mm)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (425 - 630mm)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (1050 - 1600mm)
• RailSafe Telescopic Handrail (1875 - 2500mm)
• RailSafe Safety Gate (w/Anti Luce)

Once the corner and straight posts have been securely fixed in position, the telescopic rails can be extended to the correct length so that they span from post to post, these are then connected to the posts using the pre-installed anti-luce fittings at the top and mid height positions on the posts.

RailSafe – Testing

The RailSafe standard and corner posts, 3x telescopic handrails 425 – 2500mm, and the safety gate have undergone testing and passed to the following standard:

• Assessed by calculation, and by physical testing by an independent testing house, against the requirements of BS EN 13374:2013 (Class A).
• Certified by an independent structural engineer that these RailSafe components when used as a system, meet the requirements of the above standard.
• This is applicable when fixed into 22mm flooring grade chipboard using all fixing holes.
• This is also applicable when fixed into a concrete floor slab using all fixing holes – for additional information on fixing to concrete floors see installation guide available from your Ockwells account manager or branch.
• When fixing to other substrates the end user is responsible for the adequacy of the fixings.

Note: Stringer post, Double Cleat and Telescopic Handrail C/w Fixing Plates (200 - 365mm) have not been tested to the above standard, testing currently underway.
