Safety
Where is safety promoted?
SpectaRail® has been designed to include safety as standard:
SpectaRail® Safety-Clamp
The innovative three sided clamp bar conceals the 22mm gap created by the thickness of the 868 twin mesh panel. This gap (between the traditional clamp bar and mesh post) is prone to potential finger entrapment with football and rugby players.
SpectaRail® Non-Removable Handrails
The concealed anti-removable handrail fixing method prevents any potential manipulation of handrail removal
SpectaRail® 180 Degree Hinges
The ability to fully open single and double gates 180 degrees against the adjacent fencing bay allows for no protrusions in the field or walkway
