9. Ladder Handrails
Handrail Installation for Ladder System Without Safety Cage
Handrail Gusset and Handrail Installation
For ladder systems without safety cages, handrails are required. Begin installation by sliding a handrail bar
assembly through the top rung of the sidewall ladder and another handrail bar assembly through the second
rung of the roof ladder as shown in
Figure 9A . All four (4) pieces of LDR-5421, LDR-5414 (2) and LDR-5422
must be assembled as shown in Figure 9B on Page 53 and Figure 9C on Page 54 and installed through
the ladder rungs. The handrail bar assembly pieces will be bolted together when the handrail gussets and
handrails are installed. Position the left hand bottom handrail gusset so that outer most hole lines up with
the outer most hole of the handrail bar assembly. Clamp in place using the wedges, 5/16" x 1" carriage bolt
and 5/16" flange nuts as shown in
Figure 9D on Page 55 . Bolt the handrail gusset to the handrail bar
assembly as shown. Position the left hand top handrail gusset so that the outer most hole lines up with
the outer most hole of the handrail bar assembly. Clamp in place using the wedges and hardware as
shown in
Figure 9E on Page 56 . It will be necessary to loosen the wedge hardware slightly to allow proper
installation of the handrail tubes. Repeat handrail gusset and wedge installation for the opposite side of the
ladder. Install the handrail tubes using the 5/16" hardware as shown in
Figure 9F on Page 57 loosening the
wedge hardware when necessary to obtain the proper fit of the handrail tubes. Tighten all hardware to
complete the assembly.
See Figure 9G on Page 58 and Figure 9H on Page 59 for detail.
