Standard Bolt On Assembly
The following assumes that pairs of 22mm diameter holes 100mm apart vertically (100mm to hole centre from top of section up to a 533UB and 150mm to hole centre from top of section for a 610UB and above) and at 1900mm centre's along the section have been drilled at steel fabrication stage.
The system comprises of the following components:
Standard Post E-00400
Standard Boot E-00500
Standard Stub E-00650 / E-00750
How the System Works
1. Where possible, at ground level, bolt on the stub boot/post assemblies using M20x60 bolts supplied with the hooks facing into the building.
2. With the posts in position, barrier panels can be fitted by dropping the handrail into the upper hanger whilst feeding the lowest mesh wire into the lower hanger. Barrier panels should overlap adjacent barriers by at least 3 mesh apertures at each post and secured with the cable ties pro.
3. The section can now be craned into position. Ensure all nessary measures have been taken to secure the load and avoid lift rotation.
Standard Clamp-on Rigid 'L' Bracket
Generally for use where holes are unavailable for the standard stub.
The system comprises of the following components:
Standard Post E-00400
Standard 500mm 'L' Bracket E-01100
Standard 750mm 'L' Bracket E-01150
Standard 900mm 'L' Bracket E-01175
How the System Works
1. Apply the 'L' bracket and standard post to the bottom flange of the section with leg vertical and one sliding clamp on each side.
2.Position the bracket leg according to the requirements.
3. Slide the clamps hard up to the section toes on each side. Then tighten the screws onto the flanges on both sides. This will clamp the foot tight to the underside of the section.
4. With the posts in position, barrier panels can be fitted by dropping the handrail into the upper hanger whilst feeding the lowest mesh wire into the lower hanger. Barrier panels should overlap adjacent barriers 3 mesh apertures at each post and secured using cable ties provided.
Sacrificial Socket / Post Extension Assembly
Sacrificial sockets will be welded to top beams by the steelwork contractor at a maximum of 1900 centres. They will be cast into concrete decking.
The system comprises of the following components:
Standard Post E-00400
Standard Post Extension E-01000
Sacrificial socket 60x60x4SHS (welded into position at fabrication stage)
How the System Works
1. Sacrificial sockets will be welded to top of beams by the steelwork contractor at a maximum of 1900 centres.
2. The Standard Post and Post Extension is inserted into the sacrificial socket with the hooks facing into the building.
3. With the posts in position, barrier panels can be fitted by dropping the handrail into the upper hanger whilst feeding the lowest mesh wire into the lower hanger. Barrier panels should overlap adjacent barriers by at least 3 mesh apertures at each post and secured with the cable ties provided.
Telescopic Handrail
The Telescopic Handrail is designed to allow access to operatives to allow exterior work.
Use of harness and lanyard is strongly advised during the access phase.
