Total Aluminium Trestle Handrail Kit

Working at height should not feel like a balancing act. The Total Aluminium Trestle Handrail Kit gives you a solid aluminium edge barrier around your trestle and plank platform, so the crew can concentrate on the work instead of on where the edge is.

It goes together quickly, it adjusts to uneven ground and it carries a 265kg safe working load. The plank clamps and plank lock set are in the kit, so the handrail goes up without chasing extra parts.

Trestles and planks are not included in this kit. They are bought separately. The section further down sets out exactly what a complete setup needs.

Why The Trestle Handrail Kit Works On Site

• Three piece outrigger design. Heavy duty aluminium built for greater stability. The outriggers can stay attached to the trestle when not in use.
• Adjustable legs. Get set up level on uneven surfaces without packing anything under the feet.
• End posts mount over any two rungs. They suit the full range of trestle heights, so one kit works across your platform heights.
• Plank locks and clamps included. Locks sit flush with connecting planks for a flat, hazard free runway.
• Suits the full Total Aluminium range of trestles and planks.
• 10 year manufacturer's warranty from an Australian owned and operated supplier.

What You Need To Make A Full Trestle Kit With Planks And Handrail

A trestle platform is simpler than it looks. Here is exactly what goes into one, so nothing turns up missing on the morning of the job.

• Two trestles make one bay. A bay is the span between them. The trestle sets your platform height, not its length.
• Planks lay across the trestles. Plank length sets how long the platform is. Pick your height first, then your length.
• Going further than 3m apart? Use two planks side by side. One plank spans up to 3.0m between trestles. Two planks joined with plank locks span up to 5.4m. Two also gives you a wider walking surface with noticeably less bend underfoot, which is why most crews run two.
• Working above 2m means edge protection. That is the Trestle Handrail Kit. It covers one bay and brings the outriggers, posts, rails, plank clamps and plank locks with it.
• To go longer, add a bay. Each extra bay needs one more trestle, one or two more planks and one Link-Up Kit. The Link-Up Kit extends the handrail with no gap in the barrier.
• Trestles and planks are sold separately from both the Handrail Kit and the Link-Up Kit. Neither kit includes them.

Quick reference:

• One bay: 2 trestles, 1 or 2 planks, 1 Handrail Kit.
• Two bays: 3 trestles, 2 or 4 planks, 1 Handrail Kit plus 1 Link-Up Kit.
• Each extra bay after that: add 1 more trestle, 1 or 2 more planks and 1 more Link-Up Kit.
