Affordable, Durable & Easily Installed Barrier Handrails at Pear Stairs
Building Your Handrail System
At Pear Stairs we offer an intuitive range of barrier handrail systems by Interclamp that are ideal for use as fences, gates, barriers, balustrades, safety barriers and many other applications. The Interclamp Barrier Handrail System is a multi-purpose handrail, barrier and/or gate system that can be easily fit with a hexagonal key and minimal training. Thanks to the design of the Interclamp system, you can easily mix and match parts to create the perfect barrier and/or handrail system for you. All Interclamp fittings are compatible with our standard 42mm galvanised tubing. For any other sizes, please phone us to discuss your bespoke project. We also supply external metal staircases on a bespoke basis - contact our design team on 01938 553311 for more details and a bespoke individual quote.
Interclamp Barrier Handrail Case Studies
This structure is used to stop pedestrians from straying off the pathway onto the maintenance route for some sluice gates. The railing system also features a gate which can be used for access by maintenance staff.
This particular design uses the following components:
Mesh Panel
Manufactured to order on request to suit customer's requirements, mesh panels are supplied welded to an 8mm rod frame.
They are available in common mesh sizes, e.g. 50x50mm, 25x25mm and 50x25mm. Bent corner panels are available on request.
Single Mesh Panel Clip
For attaching mesh panels to one side of tube.
Please Note: This item is manufactured from steel, not malleable iron. Designed to suit 8mm rod.
Gate Hinge Pin
Often used with gate eye to form gate hinges. The tube cannot be joined within the fitting.
Gate Eye
Used with gate eye hinge pins to form gate hinges. The tube cannot be joined within the fitting.
Setscrew
Please Note: All fittings are supplied with setscrews fitted as standard. High quality setscrews, a vital component in the high structural integrity of the fittings.
Thread: 3/8", allen key size: 5/16". We supply all fittings with setscrews fitted as standard, but you can purchase additional setscrews if required.
You can also buy a security setscrew in our online shop, along with a security fix hex key.
Handrail/Tubing
Galvanised medium weight tube to BS EN 10255 (formerly BS1387). Size: 42.4mm. We sell galvanised tubing in 3m lengths.
You can purchase handrails pre-coated in six other colours, but they come in 2.8 lengths.
This installation shows one of our barrier and handrails system used on a two-tier stairway. This simple system uses several different parts which interconnect, creating a safe environment to ensure the easy flow of several thousand people.
The vertical posts have simply been concreted into the ground without the need for ground mountings.
Short Tee
90° butt joint, often used to join intermediate uprights to top rails, and middle rails to end uprights on level sites.
This clamp cannot be used where the through tube (horizontal in photo) has to be joined within the fitting.
Cross (middle rail)
A 90° joint that is generally used between the middle rail and uprights on level sites.
The through tube (vertical in photo) cannot be joined within the fitting.
Variable Elbow (15° - 60°)
Variable 15° to 60° angle joint, often used to join the staircase top rail to end uprights.
90° Elbow
90° angle joint, often used where the top rail meets an end upright on level sites.
Double Swivel Connection/Combination
A versatile swivel fitting, useful for awkward applications where angles cannot be accommodated by adjustable angle fittings.
Single Swivel Connection/Combination
A versatile swivel fitting, useful for awkward applications where angles cannot be accommodated by adjustable angle fittings.
The through tube (sloping in photo) cannot be joined within the fitting.

This handrail system was created as a safety barrier to prevent falls from the elevated platform. It was secured using both base flange and vertical side supports.
Short Tee
90° butt joint, often used to join intermediate uprights to top rails, and middle rails to end uprights on level sites.
