Edge Protection
Edge Protection System: Avanta’s unique edge-protection system provides a functional and very neat solution that integrates both the handrail and toe plate into the handrail post.
The 100mm high flat-sided oval profile of the steel toe plate slots into the centre of the handrail post providing a robust edge with no sharp edges or bolts on show. The toe plate conforms to BS5395: Part 3:1985 and is designed to sustain a characteristic uniformly distributed imposed horizontal loading of 1.0kN/m and a characteristic point load of 0.5kN. The Toe Plate is powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.
The 1120mm high rolled hollow section handrail posts are set at 1500mm centres and include tubular hand and knee rails running through the centre of the post giving a bolt-free finish. The handrail is designed to safely sustain a minimum characteristic imposed horizontal line loading of 0.74kN/m. The rails and posts are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.

Staircases
Avanta designs appropriate staircases into each project and provides advice regarding relevant Building Regulations. Recently introduced legislation, for example, requires that at least one Ambulant Disabled Staircase (ADS) complying with Approved Document M of the Building Regulations should be fitted to mezzanine floors used for storage and that, in addition, a lift should be provided for office use. Avanta's Approved Inspector can advise you on the regulations and show those instances where a simpler Type K staircase may be an acceptable alternative or situations where a single ADS may alleviate the need for a lift.
All Avanta staircases are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.

Pallet Gates
Designed to protect personnel at exposed opening points at the floor edge, safety gates can have a light-weight, fail-safe roll-over operation or be of the sliding ‘trombone’ type. They can accommodate standard sized pallets and require virtually no maintenance. The gates are powder coated to give a highly durable finish with excellent gloss retention.
