Hand/Bump Rails

Type HBR-160

The Latham HBR-160 Series Hand/Bump Rail is new to the Latham range. The system offers a dual solution in the safety and protection for building occupants and the building itself. The HBR-160 Series Hand/Bump Rail offers safety for pedestrian traffic through corridors etc whilst doubling as a bump rail for wheeled traffic like wheelchairs, beds, chairs, carts and trolleys. The high impact textured cover snuggly fits over the continuous aluminum retainer incorporating the specially designed impact absorbing strip, which absorbs impacts and helps to spread impact loads over a further distance reducing the shock on the wall fixing. The Latham HBR Series is truly a hand and bump rail in one. 
The system should be considered for use in conjunction with CG Series Corner Guards, BR Series Bump Rails and  WS Series Wall Sheeting. End closures, internal and external corners are available with the system.

The Latham HBR Series is compliant with the latest Australian Standard AS 1428-2009 when installed at the height set out in the Standard.

General Information

All Latham Hand/Bump Rails are supplied in 3000mm lengths for site cutting to the required dimensions. Each 3000mm length is supplied with 7 adjustable wall brackets for installation 75mm from each end of the hand rail extrusion and at 475mm centres. If shorter lengths are required additional wall brackets can be purchased, these should be installed at 75mm from each end of the run and at a maximum of 500mm centres. 

For compliance with the latest Australian Standard AS 1428.1-2009 the required spacing from hand rail to the wall is 50mm. For this purpose wall brackets are adjustable from 45mm-60mm to accommodate variations in wall straightness. It should be noted that International Standards may have different regulations as to this spacing requirement. The quantity of end closures/wall returns, internal, and external corners should be calculated and ordered with the hand rail section. For fixing/installation details contact Latham Australia.
