Superior Edge safety handrail range

The Edge safety handrail range from Superior is designed to protect workers and the public from ledges, holes, traffic, heights and other hazards. Available in two versions, Edge I is designed for industrial use with a top, mid and kick rail and moulded endcaps; and Edge II is a designer version with curved posts and eight pipe rails for an aesthetic effect.

Suitable for temporary or permanent barriers for events, construction sites, walkways and marinas, the range is made from medium-density polyethylene, is UV resistant, will not corrode and the rails are fully recyclable. It also meets Australian and New Zealand standards and can be installed in minutes. The hand rail inserts are available in aluminium as standard, with options in powder-coated steel or stainless pipes. The kit comes complete with end caps to seal out any water or debris from building up inside the product. The stanchion has been tested through a rigorous R&D development program including an FEA analysis.

Designed and made on the Gold Coast using Australian raw materials, the system uses an overlapping offset of the handrail end caps that allows the product to flex when used on floating surfaces. The rotomoulded posts are claimed to be lighter, durable and quicker to install than traditional aluminium, steel or stainless steel equivalents. It can also be custom designed and colour matched to suit an industrial or commercial project.

Features include: odourless and inert; rust and corrosion resistance; lightweight construction; uses minimal bolts to secure in place; quick adaption of kick rail using four bolts; good resistance to fuel and acidic conditions; seamless construction; and UV 11 rating High UV.

The Edge railing product was recently installed at the Moolarben Coal Operations to provide handrail protection for a floating walkway for personnel to access water monitoring equipment.
