Ball Joint Stanchion Post
The stanchion post on its own: 48 x 3.25 mm tube with a 76 x 3 mm drilled ball and a 6 mm base plate, hot-dip galvanized, supplied without rail.
Product Overview
Sometimes the rail is not the part you need. A contractor extending an existing run, replacing posts damaged by a forklift, or supplying rail locally will want the stanchion on its own: the 48 x 3.25 mm tube, the 76 x 3 mm drilled ball at rail height, and the 6 mm base plate drilled to the steelwork. Supplied hot-dip galvanized, it matches posts already installed from the same system, which is what makes a repair look like a repair rather than a patch.
Key Benefits
- Posts supplied alone to extend or repair an existing ball joint run
- Same 48 x 3.25 mm tube and 76 x 3 mm ball as the full system, so runs match
- Base plate drilled to your pattern before galvanizing
- Hot-dip galvanized to match posts already on site

How It Compares With The Alternatives
A technical comparison against other ways of solving the same problem. Nothing here is a performance claim against a named competitor product.
| Against a stock panel cut to fit on site | A stock panel trimmed on site loses its banding, its bar pitch at the edge and its coating at every cut. This one is drawn to the opening and coated after it is fabricated. |
| Against buying the panel and its frame separately | Panel, banding, hooks, frame and handrail are fabricated and coated in the same plant and the same batch, which is what makes them fit each other. |
