What Is a Modular Handrail System?
Modular handrails are prefabricated kits assembled on-site with mechanical connectors. They install quickly, cut labor costs, and meet safety codes.
-
Install faster
Finish projects in hours, not days, and reduce costly change orders.
-
Ensure compliance
OSHA/ADA/IBC compliant details with ready-to-use BIM & DWG files.
-
Reduce labor costs
Bolt-up assembly means fewer trades, no welding, and no hot work permits.
-
Simplify maintenance
Industrial-grade durability — replace single modules without shutdowns.

Modular vs. Traditional Handrails
See the key differences at a glance — speed, cost, and compliance.
Criteria | Modular Handrail | Traditional (Welded) Handrail |
---|---|---|
Install Speed | Hours — 1 day | Days — weeks |
Site Labor | Low, bolt-up assembly | High, requires welding |
Code Consistency | Pre-engineered, OSHA/ADA ready | Variable, depends on fabricator |
Maintenance | Replace single modules easily | Requires section rework |
Cost Predictability | High — prefabricated kits | Medium/Low — site-dependent |
