THE SPECIALISTS IN INDUSTRIAL FLOORING AND HANDRAILING

BSG handrail standards are manufactured from tube or solid bar as follows.
Standards are manufactured with one, two or several balls. Ball centres "Y" are generally 550 mm for platform type and 450 mm for raked type but these are flexible to suit customers requirements or any applicable regulations.

TUBULAR STANDARDS

Manufactured from tube, 33.7 mm diameter, 42.4 mm and 48.3 mm diameter. Ball sizes differ to suit the size of handrailing passing through.
63 mm diameter balls to suit 33.7 mm diameter handrailing.
82 mm diameter balls to suit 33.7 mm, 42.4 mm and 48.3 mm diameter handrailing.

SOLID WELDED STANDARDS

Manufactured from 32mm diameter and 38 mm solid bar. Ball sizes differ to suit the hand railing passing through. 60 mm diameter balls to suit 33.7 mm diameter handrailing. 70 mm diameter balls to suit 33.7 mm and 42.4 mm diameter handrailing.

The table below sets out the maximum recommended dimension between Handrail Standards to achieve the three categories of load shown.These are based upon a design height of 1100 mm to the centre line of the handrailing using deflection to BS 6180 and strength to Eurocodes 0, 1 & 3.
