A stainless steel access handrail for ramps and steps, in 316 grade — the external grade — brushed to a 320 grit satin finish. 42mm tubular rail on a 48mm tubular post, with adjustable angles so it follows the slope rather than needing a fixed pitch.

What is in the kit

• 42mm rail and 48mm post
• 125mm base plate with a cover rose to hide the fixings
• End caps pre-fitted — flat or scroll, your choice
• Pre-drilled for the post connectors
• Wall and base fixings for timber or masonry

Fitting

Pre-drilled and pre-assembled in the workshop, so there is nothing to cut, drill or weld on site and no skilled trade needed — general DIY skills will do it. The cover rose is worth knowing about if the rail is somewhere people look closely: it conceals the base fixings rather than leaving bolt heads on show.

Sizing

Standard sizes are in the dropdown, or tell us your dimensions and we will make it to suit.

Guarding a fall, or just something to hold?

Access handrails are for holding on to. If the ramp or steps have an open edge with a drop, that usually calls for a balustrade as well — it fills the gap rather than sitting at hand height. See our balustrade range, or send us a photograph and we will say what we would fit. The compliance decision rests with your building control officer.

Heights and regulations

Heights, continuity and where a second rail is needed are in our handrail building regulations guide. We build to whatever your project requires; what it has to comply with is your building control officer’s call.
