Heavy Duty Handrail Mounting Brackets


Style 1	Style 2	Style 3


Style 1	Style 2

Style 3

Designed for heavy duty applications, these brackets support metal and wooden handrails on stairs and ramps.

Cast—Cast brackets are stronger than formed brackets.

Styles 1 and 3—All styles have mounting holes in their base to mount to the wall. Styles 1 and 3 have a saddle for fastening or welding the handrail.

Style 2—All styles have mounting holes in their base to mount to the wall. Style 2 brackets don’t have a saddle; weld the handrail directly to the top of the bracket.

Steel and Iron—Steel and iron brackets are strong enough to reliably support handrails that are used frequently.

Aluminum—Aluminum brackets are lightweight and have excellent corrosion resistance, which makes them good for harsh environments.

ADA Compliant—ADA-compliant brackets have enough vertical and horizontal clearance to help you comply with ADA guidelines if installed correctly.

NFPA 5000—Brackets that meet NFPA 5000 leave enough clearance between the handrail and wall to help you meet National Fire Protection Association safety standards for building and construction.

Build-Your-Own No-Drill Safety Railings

Combine bases, rails, gates, and toeboards to create a barrier customized to your needs. When properly installed in a U-shape, these items meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.29 requirements for fall protection systems. Rails, bases, and toeboards also meet OSHA 29 CFR 1926.502 requirements for fall protection systems.

Use rail-to-base connecting pins to secure the rails to the bases.

To protect the work surface from scuffs and scratches, use nonskid pads.

Bases

Bases are weighted to allow installation without drilling holes.

ADA-Compliant Handrails

Make stairs and ramps safe and accessible for all with these ADA-compliant handrails. They’re made of high-strength galvanized steel for durability and corrosion resistance, even outdoors. These handrails are paintable and can be cut to length.

In Ground

In-ground handrails are supported by posts that mount to your staircase or ramp. They’re inline with the posts to give you space to navigate in narrow areas.

In-Ground Handrail Posts

Wall Mount

Wall-mount handrails are supported by brackets that mount to your wall. They’re commonly used for stairs or ramps that don’t have space for mounting posts. Because they’re offset with the wall, a portion of the grab bar juts out for easy access.
