Stanchion And Handrail
Ball joint stanchion posts and handrail tube, the edge protection that goes around the grating.
Every Stanchion And Handrail We Publish
A ball joint stanchion is a post with a drilled ball welded at handrail height: the rail passes through the ball, which lets a run follow a change in level or direction without a fabricated corner at every post. It is the standard edge protection on the platforms and walkways that grating decks. ShengJingYe produces the posts, the balls and the rail as one hot-dip galvanized system, so the handrail and the grating come from the same plant and arrive together.
