Handrail Systems
Marco’s HandRail Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Handrail Systems are safe, OSHA compliant, corrosion resistant, virtually maintenance free, and easy to install.
MSS’s standard industrial HandRail is a 2-rail system with kickplate fabricated from its high strength pultruded structural shapes with UV inhibitors manufactured into the resin and synthetic surfacing veils that allow a resin rich surface. Standard systems are produced in safety yellow, with other colors available upon request.
Handrails are available prefabricated and factory assembled or can be shipped in components for easy on site field fabrication. A factory applied UV coating is recommended when handrails will be utilized outdoors.
