Handrails & Railings

Safety handrails and guardrails fabricated from steel or aluminum for stairs, platforms, and elevated surfaces.

129 manufacturers

Handrails and railings are essential safety components in virtually every commercial and industrial building, providing fall protection and guidance along stairs, platforms, ramps, and elevated surfaces. Code compliance, structural integrity, and often aesthetic requirements must all be met. Industrial handrails must meet OSHA requirements (42-inch guardrail height, 200-lb concentrated load capacity) and are typically fabricated from steel pipe or tube with welded or bolted connections. Architectural railings serve the same safety function while meeting higher aesthetic standards, using materials like stainless steel, aluminum, glass, and cable infill. When sourcing handrail fabrication, clearly specify the applicable code (OSHA for industrial, IBC for commercial, ADA for accessibility), material and finish, post mounting method (base plate, side mount, core drill), and any custom design features. Field measurement is often critical, as existing conditions frequently differ from drawings.

Handrails & Railings FAQ

What are the code requirements for handrails?

OSHA requires guardrails at 42 inches high with a mid-rail at 21 inches for industrial applications. IBC requires 42-inch guards for commercial buildings. ADA specifies handrail height at 34-38 inches, 1.25-2 inch diameter, and continuous gripping surface. Load requirements are typically 200 lbs concentrated and 50 lbs/ft distributed.
