Modular Handrail Systems – Quick, Prefabricated & OSHA-Compliant

Prefabricated stainless steel and aluminum handrail systems engineered for fast installation, code compliance, and long-term durability — indoors and outdoors.

  • Low Labor
  • OSHA/ADA Compliant
  • No Welding
  • Quick Install

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.

Modular vs. Traditional Handrails
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
