They are lightweight, easy to install, free from painting and maintenance, and economically advantageous.
The Eurograte industrial handrail is designed with standardized modular elements, offering the possibility to add various accessories. This feature allows the handrail system to be adapted to different specific needs and facilitates installation.
The handrail elements consist of continuous fiberglass strands (E-type roving), and thermosetting resin as a chemically resistant matrix mechanically made using the pultrusion system.
The matrix, based on isophthalic polyester resin, compacts and protects the structural reinforcement. It can also be offered with other types of resins, such as vinylester, acrylics, or self-extinguishing halogen-free resin with low smoke emissions. All matrix formulations are certified according to AFNOR or ASTM standards.
The mechanical reinforcement structure is made with continuous unidirectional fiberglass roving (E-type roving).
Every Eurograte pultruded profile incorporates, as a standard in the manufacturing process, the use of continuous multidirectional glass mats which increase the transverse mechanical resistance. Furthermore, all profiles are manufactured with the implementation of an external synthetic surfacing veil: this increases the chemical protection and avoids fibre blooming as well as adding further protection to possible deterioration caused by UV exposure and weather agents.
The handrails systems are available in standard colours like yellow or grey. Other colours can be produced upon request.
Eurograte handrails comply with the EN 14122-3 standard, which specifies the following requirements:
The distinctive features of our safety railing are:
Corrosion resistance
the isophthalic resin used in the construction of the rails ensures excellent corrosion resistance. The polyester veil, embedded on the surface during production, avoids fibre blooming and guarantees protection against UV rays and weather elements.
Lightweight and insulation
the lower weight of fiberglass rails compared to an equivalent steel structure means significant savings in transport, handling, assembly, or for elements that require frequent maintenance. Non-magnetic and non-conductive, the profiles offer excellent electrical and thermal insulation.
Maintenance-free
Eurograte fiberglass rails ensure remarkable durability in any environment thanks to the complete absence of maintenance.
Ease of installation
fiberglass rails are lightweight and easy to handle, making installation quick and simple. Thanks to their modularity, the handrail systems can be assembled without the use of heavy equipment or complex techniques, reducing installation time and costs.
Internal colouring
fiberglass can be internally coloured during the manufacturing process, ensuring a uniform and long-lasting colour. This avoids the need for external painting, further reducing maintenance costs and ensuring that the colour will not fade or peel over time.
No grounding required
unlike metal rails, fiberglass ones do not conduct electricity. This means grounding is not necessary, making them ideal for environments where electrical safety is a priority, such as chemical industries or electrical installations.
Radio Transparency
fiberglass handrails are transparent to radio waves, making them perfect for installations where the transmission of radio or wireless signals is necessary. This is particularly useful in industrial or technological environments where wireless communication is essential.
