Handrails

Free standing Guardrails – Collective Protection

SAFETYWORKS & Solutions manufacture a wide range of free standing and fixed guardrails systems to suit most applications.

Our basic range of Free-standing Guardrails with a straight or raked leg with folding handrails and also aesthetically pleasing curved guardrails are available too.

Why choose the EasyGuard Free standing guardrail range?

Adaptable – the handrails are adjustable up to 250mm above the base plate enabling raising the top rail easily to 1100mm above the finished surface when used on Green Roofs and Ballasted or Inverted Roofs.

Level – our free standing handrails are easily levelled on tapered insulation schemes and soon counter roof falls, on all our free standing guardrails the rails will follow the line of the up-standing providing improved aesthetics from ground level.

Durable – all of the components on our systems are galvanised steel, unlike light weight aluminium systems components and joins will not fatigue and fail.

User Friendly – The long thin base plates provide reduced point loads onto roof membranes and insulation and are less likely to sink than counterweighted systems. The base plates will slide easily under roof top plant.

Trips – with counterweights only used to secure untied ends of the system and not along its length, there is a vastly reduced risk of trips over the system.

Protection – All base plates and any counterweights are fitted with a bonded ribbed rubber mats with EPDM foam in-fill to reduce heat transference onto roof membranes, which can lead to roof membrane degradation and reduce the risk of damage.
