How do Interclamp railings work?
Interclamp railings are designed for easy, simple and fast erection of rigid structures by hand with a minimum amount of tools. Interclamp is a cost effective, efficient system for hand railing, roof edge protection and guardrails. Particularly when compared with traditional methods of construction such as welding, where specialist tools, extensive training and experience are required.

There are many advantages to Interclamp Railings including their quick and easy assembly, adjustability, versatility as well as their strength and durability.
● Quick and easy assembly – Interclamp railings feature modular slip-on handrail tubes and key clamp fittings that are quickly fastened with an Allen key. Making installation of various structures possible with minimum tools and eliminating the need to carry large welding equipment.
