Cogan Mezzanine Handrails

Handrails aren’t the flashiest part of your facility. But when it comes to keeping your team safe, Cogan handrails are the unsung heroes of elevated workspaces everywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are Cogan mezzanine handrails used for?

Cogan mezzanine handrails are designed to provide fall protection and improve worker safety on elevated platforms, mezzanines, catwalks, and work areas. They help create secure walking surfaces while meeting applicable building and workplace safety requirements.

What types of Cogan mezzanine handrails are available?

Cogan offers three primary handrail options:

  • 2-Rail Handrails for light-duty protection.
  • 3-Rail Handrails for applications requiring enhanced fall protection and code compliance.
  • Wire Mesh Handrails for public-facing areas or facilities where additional protection is required.

Are Cogan mezzanine handrails OSHA and IBC compliant?

Cogan handrail systems are engineered to support compliance with applicable safety standards. The 3-rail handrail system is designed to meet BOCA, UBC, and International Building Code (IBC) requirements, while all installations should be reviewed against local building codes and OSHA regulations applicable to your facility.

What is the standard height of Cogan mezzanine handrails?

Standard Cogan mezzanine handrails are 42 inches high, providing effective fall protection for elevated work platforms and mezzanine systems.

Do Cogan handrails require welding during installation?

No. Cogan handrails feature a modular design that uses zinc-plated mounting clips, allowing rails to be cut to length and installed without welding. This reduces installation time, labor costs, and facility downtime.

Can kick plates be added to Cogan mezzanine handrails?

Yes. Optional steel kick plates are available for all Cogan handrail systems to help prevent tools, equipment, or other materials from accidentally falling off the mezzanine, improving workplace safety.

What materials are Cogan mezzanine handrails made from?

Cogan handrails are manufactured from heavy-duty structural steel tubing. The posts are constructed from 2½-inch square steel tubing, while the rails use 1½-inch square steel tubing for strength, durability, and long service life in industrial environments.

Can Cogan handrails be customized for different mezzanine layouts?

Yes. Because the rails can be cut to size on-site, Cogan handrails can be adapted to fit a wide variety of mezzanine configurations and facility layouts, making them suitable for warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and commercial applications.

Are wire mesh handrails better than standard rail systems?

Wire mesh handrails are ideal when additional protection is needed, such as in public-access areas or locations where preventing objects from falling through the railing is important. They also maintain visibility while providing enhanced safety.
