Five fasteners for all requirements Putting together a guard-rail for a stairway or platform can require some very specialist expertise. It isn’t just a case of taking into account different angles – even the way a stairway joins to a platform can influence the design of a guard-rail. For that reason, guard-rail systems often comprise a huge range of varied fasteners. That’s not the case with TPS. Five fasteners are all it takes to cover all requirements. They link stanchions with stairways or platforms, connect to hand-rails and provide a secure hold for knee-rails. That makes a designer’s job much easier. Instead of having to find a separate component for each job, users can work with very clear principles of TPS to design efficient guard-rails. If the construction has to be modified at a later point in time, the existing components can be reused very easily. What’s more, far fewer individual parts need to be held in stock.
