What is the maximum spacing between handrail stanchions?

By admin | Latest News | One Comment

All steel hand rail systems in Australia need to be able to withstand a horizontal force of 500 N, according to the Australian standard for walkway design, construction and installation – AS1657 section 6.1.3. Stanchions play a critical part in protecting you from falling off the edge of a walk way.

Stanchions are significant in their role to stop deflection of the walk way hand rail. Knowing this, it becomes easier to understand that the closer stanchions are, then the more force a safety hand rail can withstand before it gives way. Quite obviously, you couldn’t have stanchions very close together as this would have economic considerations.

Using the standard 40NB tube with a wall thickness of 3.2mm, the maximum distance you can safely space steel handrail stanchions is 2m apart. This 2m separation gives you enough strength to resist the standard requirement of a 500 N horizontal load.

If you have any other queries, a quick call to the chaps at Bendigo Metals is always a good solution: 9455 1712 or send an email : Contact Bendigo.
