FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Powder-coated safety yellow for visibility and high corrosion resistance.

  • WA-OSHA Regulations – WAC 296-24-75011
  • Simple installation — prefabricated railing sections means no custom fabrication of guard rails.
  • Railing will be 42″ tall in the base. Railing length is available in 1-foot increments ranging from 2 feet to 10 feet, measured to the center of each leg.
  • Highly effective as hazard barriers. Commonly used at dock doors and truck pits, warehouse traffic lanes, construction excavation sites, new building construction, mezzanines, pier and rail yards, crowd control, and more.
  • American Welding Society certified welders ensure the highest standard of quality construction.

What are Standard Rails & Pit Rails?

Standard Rails mount onto the ‘Top Floor Mount Bracket‘ and are 42 inches tall to meet OSHA requirements.

Pit Rails mount onto either the ‘Side Flush Mount Bracket‘ or ‘Wrap-Over-Edge Mount Bracket‘ and are 48.06 inches tall. The reason for these rails being taller is because about 6 inches of the rail is tucked into the bracket mount on the side wall or parapet. Thus, the height of the rail from floor/roof level up is 42 inches which meets OSHA requirements.

See ‘Downloads’ tab for Rail Specifications.

You can download the system manuals from the 'Downloads' tab. You are also encouraged to contact us in case of any questions.
