SAFRAIL™ industrial fiberglass handrails are commercial railing systems for stair rails, platform/walkway handrails and guardrails. SAFRAIL™ systems are fabricated from pultruded fiberglass components produced by Strongwell and molded thermoplastic connectors. The railing systems are particularly well-suited to corrosive environments like those found in industrial, chemical and wastewater treatment plants as well as commercial structures with urban and salt air corrosion. SAFRAIL ™ fiberglass handrail systems are corrosion resistant, easy to field fabricate, structurally strong, low in thermal conductivity, impact resistant, have low electrical conductivity and are lightweight. SAFRAIL™ systems are the result of more than 40 years of experience in the manufacture, design and fabrication of fiberglass handrail systems. The systems offer the following advantages:

• Ease of Assembly – SAFRAIL™ systems are produced in lightweight standard sections that include both post and rail. Systems can be prefabricated in large sections and shipped to the site or they can also be fabricated and installed on site with simple carpenter tools.
• Internal Connection System – All connections fit flush, resulting in a pleasing, streamlined appearance. The internal connections allow the construction of continuous handrail systems around circular tanks without special fittings.
• Safety Features – SAFRAIL™ systems come in a “safety yellow colour”, feature low electrical conductivity for worker safety and exhibit high strength. Systems meet US federal OSHA standards with a 2: 1 factor of safety with a 6-foot (1830mm) maximum post spacing. SAFRAIL™ systems also comply with international standard AFNOR NF E 85-101.
• Low Maintenance – Corrosion resistant fiberglass with molded-in colour will outlast aluminum or steel systems with virtually no maintenance.
• Cost Effective – Fiberglass components and easy-to-assemble design provide savings on labor and maintenance, resulting in long- term savings and elimination of the cost and inconvenience of “downtime for repairs” in plant operations.

SAFRAIL™ industrial systems can be used in guardrail applications where railing is needed to protect the open side of an elevated walkway. SAFRAIL™ systems meet OSHA requirements for a height of 42″ (1067mm) from the top of walkway to the top of the guardrail. The OSHA loading requirement for both guardrail and handrail is a 200 pound (890 N) concentrated load at any point or direction on the top rail. Other building codes may require different loading conditions. Moulded-in color plus an optional tough polyurethane coating will outlast aluminum or steel systems and requires virtually no maintenance.
