Industrial safety rail is one of the most critically important and, at times, overlooked pieces of protection at any job site or inside any warehouse or facility. While it may not fully protect machinery or storage racks from forklift damage, the safety rail is more for the workers themselves. Lining walkways, stairs, ramps, HVAC units, and workspaces, safety rail offers guidance and a helpful deterrent throughout any facility.
But it’s about choosing the proper railing system. Just adding any form of safety railing is one thing but having quality safety handrail and grab rail can be the difference in a near mistake and a costly mistake.
Luckily, Ideal Shield offers the industry’s most unique and versatile safety rail option on the market which can be custom designed to fit your exact needs as well as OSHA’s requirements.
Application Options
Ideal Shield’s Industrial Handrail has more applications than a smart phone. Whether you’re looking to guard machinery, walkways, stair or ramp entrances, interior fall protection areas, or roof top fall protection areas, the Steel Pipe & Plastic Handrail system can meet any of those needs.
