SKU: SPB-K-END-307

Manufacturer: McCue Corporation

Flexible handrail creates a safety barrier between forklift traffic and pedestrians. This end post, used to begin or end a run of handrail, has openings on one side for insertion of horizontal rail sections and smooth contours free of catch points. The strong yet flexible polyethylene shell encloses a ductile iron core with industrial rubber damper. When a collision occurs, the post diffuses the force of the impact, directs it down through the core and into the ground, then bounces back into shape. Its energy absorbing construction minimizes damage to the vehicle, the concrete floor, and the rail system itself for reduced repair and replacement costs.

Description

Designing a Flexible Handrail System

Being modular, this rail system can fit into virtually any space. When designing your layout, consider the following:

Posts must be anchored in minimum 3,000 psi concrete
An End Post begins or ends a run
A Middle Post extends a straight run
A Corner Post incorporates a 90-degree turn into your layout
Start a separate run if an angle other than 90 degrees is required
Full length 58" Rails should be installed between posts on 60" centers
Rails can be cut down to length in the field if a shorter section is needed
A Swing Gate provides pedestrian access through the barrier and should be installed between two End Posts spaced 38.5" apart
To determine the actual floor space a continuous straight run of handrail will occupy, total the post-center-to-post-center measurements then add 5.75", the width of a single post
- Example: three full-length flexible handrail sections (60" post centers)
  (3 x 60") + 5.75 = 185.75"
- Example: five full-length flexible handrail sections (60" post centers) and one swing gate (38.5" post centers)
  (5 x 60") + 38.5" + 5.75" = 344.25"
