The Tuffrail® industrial handrail family has five different configurations, including top, mid and bottom rail designs with toeboard for industrial applications.
-
Integrates with Tuffgard® Toeboard
For use on level surfaces, raised platforms and landings in industrial environments engineered to AS 1657 standards.
-
Compatible with adjustable top rail
Compatible with adjustable top rail configurations, allowing the system to accommodate varying height requirements and site conditions while maintaining compliance.
-
Fully compliant to AS/NZS 1657
Tuffrail is precision-engineered to provide strict, compliant fall protection in accordance with the AS/NZS 1657 standards for fixed platforms, walkways, and stairways.
-
Fast no-weld assembly
Slash site downtime and remove hot works hazards with a simple bolt together system that is completely custom manufactured the individual site conditions.
-
Selection of three material types
Available in HDG390, Aluminium, and 316 Grade Stainless Steel, Tuffrail can safely withstands chemical fumes, sea spray, and industrial wear without the rust vulnerabilities caused by site welding.
-
High visibility powder coat available
Pre-stocked Y14 Safety Yellow powder coated components for high-visibility hazard protection are available. Custom powder coating options available on request.

Compliance
Designed for accessibility compliance across Australia and New Zealand
Supports compliance with NCC and NZBC and other local statutory regulationsDesigned to meet AS 1657 – Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and laddersEngineered to AS/NZS 1170.1 Structural Design Actions (Clause 3.6 – Barriers)Materials and finishes aligned with AS/NZS 4680 for corrosion protection and durabilitySpecifications
All relevant technical documents, product specifications and compliance information for Tuffrail® pre-engineered industrial handrail systems are available below. These resources support design development, product specification and accessibility compliance requirements across Australia and New Zealand.
Note: Moddex no longer exclusively use Magnelis® or Alymag® branded coatings. Specifiers should reference the required product or coating details (e.g. zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy coating or equivalent technical requirements), rather than brand names to ensure accuracy in specification.
Tuffrail® in Antarctica
Did you know? Moddex Tuffrail® industrial handrails in aluminium are installed on top of water tanks at Scott Base in Antarctica.
With extreme weather, remote logistics and highly corrosive coastal conditions, the Antarctic environment demands durable, reliable systems that can be delivered efficiently and installed with confidence.
