Standard Handrail Posts FAQs

What is the difference between stick posts, flat base posts and side palm handrail posts?

Stick posts are upright tubular standards without an integrated base or palm. Flat base posts are designed for fixing down to a horizontal surface, while horizontal side palm posts are used where the post needs to fix to a side surface or wall.

When should I use a flat base handrail post?

A flat base handrail post is suitable where the upright needs to be fixed to a floor, platform, walkway or other horizontal surface as part of a handrail or guardrail system.

When would a horizontal side palm post be useful?

A horizontal side palm post is useful where the handrail post needs to be fixed to a vertical or side-facing surface, such as a wall, stair side, platform edge or structural face.

Are galvanised handrail posts suitable for outdoor installations?

Yes. Galvanised handrail posts are suitable for many outdoor handrail and barrier installations because the galvanised finish helps protect the steel in exposed environments.

Can handrail posts be used with modular handrail clamps?

Yes. Handrail posts can be used as part of modular handrail and barrier systems when paired with compatible tubes, clamps and fittings for the selected handrail diameter.
