Handrail clamps are a vital component in the construction of key clamp railings, providing a secure and versatile solution for industrial, commercial, and public safety applications. Whether used for handrails, guardrails, or access barriers, handrail clamps offer a reliable way to create strong, modular frameworks without the need for welding.

At IMS, we supply a comprehensive range of handrail clamps designed for ease of installation, durability, and compliance with safety regulations. Our key clamp rail systems are manufactured from galvanised steel, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance and structural integrity even in harsh environments.

Key features and benefits of handrail clamps

  • Strong and secure connections: Designed to provide rigid and stable frameworks for handrails and key clamp railings.
  • No welding required: Easy installation using grub screws tightened with an Allen key or Hex key.
  • Corrosion-resistant galvanised steel: Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications, even in high-moisture or corrosive environments.
  • Modular and adaptable: Allows for quick adjustments, custom configurations, and on-site modifications.
  • Compliant with British safety standards: Meets EN ISO 1461 standards, ensuring reliability in industrial and commercial applications.

With multiple clamp sizes and configurations available, our handrail clamps are widely used in construction, public access systems, warehouses, and safety barriers.

Handrail Clamps FAQs

What factors should I consider when selecting handrail clamps?

Choosing the right handrail clamps depends on pipe diameter, load-bearing capacity, environment, and compliance requirements. Opt for heavier-duty galvanised clamps for high-traffic areas or industrial settings that provide enhanced stability and longevity.

Are key clamp railings a better alternative to welded handrails?

Yes, key clamp railings offer greater flexibility, easier installation, and lower maintenance than welded handrails. They can be modified, expanded, or relocated without cutting or welding, making them ideal for temporary or evolving structures.

How do I ensure my handrail clamps meet safety regulations?

Ensure that all handrail clamps are installed according to British safety standards (EN ISO 1461) and that they are properly tightened to prevent movement. For public or workplace projects, always verify compliance with building regulations and health & safety guidelines.

What is the best way to prevent corrosion on handrail clamps?

Most handrail clamps are made from galvanised steel, which provides built-in corrosion resistance. However, consider using powder-coated or stainless steel options for additional protection in highly corrosive environments (such as marine or chemical settings).

Can key clamp railings support heavy loads?

Yes, when properly installed, key clamp railings can withstand high impact forces and heavy-duty applications. Select reinforced handrail clamps for load-critical projects and ensure proper spacing and anchoring for maximum strength.
