Railsafe Telescopic Handrail 1.05m-1.6m

RailSafe Telescopic Handrail 1050mm – 1600mm (w/Anti Luce)

The RailSafe Telescopic Handrail is a component of the RailSafe Barrier System – a temporary and reusable barrier system designed to help prevent falls from height.

RailSafe Telescopic Handrails are constructed from tubular steel, with the outer tube being 40mm diameter. The telescopic nature of the construction allows adjustment to the handrail length, for this particular size the overall length adjustment is between 1050mm and 1600mm. A fixing hole at each end allows the handrail to be attached to the RailSafe metal posts via the anti-luce fittings which are part of the RailSafe metal post assembly.

RailSafe Telescopic Handrails should only be used in conjunction with the other components that make up the RailSafe barrier system and should not be used with any other barrier system.

For further information on installation of the RailSafe System see our installation guide available from your Ockwells account manager or branch.

RailSafe System – Overview

The RailSafe system is primarily comprised of a range of metal posts and telescopic metal handrails. The system also includes a Ladder Gate which creates a ladder access point, as well as components which allow the telescopic metal handrails to be fixed directly to newel posts – such as in a kite winder staircase application.

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

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

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.

RailSafe – In conjunction with Ockwells Stairwell Hatch System

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