Using the advantages of mk Profile Technology, mk Guardrails can be used in a variety of situations. Applications include industrial work platforms or as
handrails along stairways.
Treads require handrails as of four steps. For tread widths of less than 1500 mm, a handrail must be installed on the right-hand side. Wider treads require handrails on both sides. As a rule, industrial platforms at an elevation of >200 mm should be designed with Guardrails.

Handrails
Profile mk 2040.16, with it's 40 mm diameter, conforms to DIN 59410 requirements. The connecting elements as well as the end caps are designed with large radii, in order to enhance operator safety.

Rail height
The minimum height requirements vary with the application. Stair rails must be at least 900 mm tall and platforms require rails to be at 1100 mm.

Post spacing
The distance between the posts must be less than 1500 mm. It must be designed in such a way as to support a force of at least 500 N/m.

Knee braces
As a rule, guardrails designed with knee braces (additional cross braces between posts). The distance between the knee braces and both the Guardrail and Platform is maximum 500 mm.
