KEY FEATURES
OF ASSISTRAIL®
-
15 Standard Configurations
The Assistrail® range includes 15 standard configurations, supporting installation in a range of use cases while maintaining a consistent engineered system.
-
Fast No-Weld Assembly
The modular, no-weld design removes the need for onsite fabrication, hot work permits or specialised trades. Prefabricated components streamline installation up to 50% faster than traditional fabricated handrails.
-
Galvanised HDG390 finish for durability
All Assistrail® components are galvanised to a minimum standard of HDG390, providing durability in outdoor environments and high-use public infrastructure.
-
Incorporates weld-free kerbrails on ramps
Integrates with Moddex weld-free Flexalyte kerbrail system designed to AS/NZS 1428, supporting compliant ramp and walkway installations without onsite welding.
-
Single or double rail configurations for schools
Available in single or double rail configurations, including layouts commonly required for primary and secondary schools and Class 9B buildings.
-
Smooth, continuous mandrel bends
Smooth, continuous mandrel bends provide consistent handrail geometry without sharp joints or interruptions, supporting compliant transitions along ramps, stairs and walkways in line with AS 1428 accessibility requirements.
