Fiberglass Grating Handrails and Fiberglass Ladders
Fiberglass Grating Handrails
Direct Metals provides industrial and commercial fiberglass grating railing systems for stair rails, platform/walkway handrails and guardrails. Fiberglass handrail systems are fabricated from pultruded fiberglass components and molded thermoplastic connectors. Our modular fiberglass grating handrail systems are available in 2-inch square or 2-inch round configurations that are easy to grip, making them ideal for any high traffic area.
Our fiberglass grating railing systems withstand corrosive environments, such as those found in industrial, chemical and wastewater treatment plants as well as commercial structures with urban and salt air. Unlike traditional materials such as stainless steel, galvanized steel and pressure treated lumber, pultruded fiberglass can be customized to meet specific corrosion requirements.
Fiberglass grating handrail systems are:
- Corrosion resistant
- Easy to fabricate
- Structurally strong
- Low in thermal conductivity
- High impact resistant
- Non-conductive
- Lightweight
Fiberglass grating handrail systems offer the following advantages:
- Ease of Assembly — Fiberglass grating handrail systems are produced in lightweight standard sections in kit form and include both post and rail. Fiberglass systems can either be assembled in large sections and shipped to the site or assembled and installed on site with simple carpenter tools.
- Internal Connection System — All connections fit flush, resulting in a streamlined appearance. The internal connections allow the construction of continuous handrail systems around circular tanks without special fittings.
- Safety Features — Systems come in a highly visible yellow color and feature low electrical conductivity and high strength.
- Low Maintenance — Corrosion resistant fiberglass with molded-in color outlasts aluminum or steel systems with virtually no maintenance.
- Cost Effective — Fiberglass components and easy-to-assemble design provide savings on labor and maintenance, which results in long-term savings and elimination of the cost and inconvenience of plant shutdowns during repairs.
Fiberglass Grating Ladders and Fiberglass Grating Ladder Cage Systems
Fiberglass grating ladders and fiberglass grating ladder cage systems outlast aluminum and steel in a wide range of industries, including chemical plants and other corrosive environments, even when the ladder systems are completely submerged for extended periods of time. Ladders and cages can be installed in a variety of applications from sumps to tanks, buildings, piers, portable equipment, etc., providing years of strength and dependability.
Produced in a premium grade polyester resin system, fiberglass ladders and ladder cages are flame retardant and contain ultraviolet inhibitor additives. To ensure worker safety, standard fiberglass side rails and cages are pigmented in a highly visible yellow color and the ladder rungs are made from a pultruded fiberglass polyester tube with a fluted non-skid surface, requiring little to no maintenance.
Our fiberglass ladders are fabricated in a standard 18-inch rung width configuration with 12-inch rung spacings. However, custom designed ladders and access cages manufactured precisely to your required dimensions per OSHA standards are available upon request.
We carry a wide variety of fiberglass grating and fiberglass products including Molded Fiberglass Grating, Pultruded Fiberglass Grating, High Load Capacity Fiberglass Grating, Fiberglass Covered Grating, Bullet Resistant Fiberglass Plate, Heavy Duty Fiberglass Grating, Fiberglass Stair Treads and Fiberglass Stair Tread Covers, Fiberglass Attachments and Fiberglass Clips, Fiberglass Floor Plates and Fiberglass Structural Shapes.
