Description

Standard Unit Trip Rail, also known as Knee Rail, is a low-profile boundary solution widely used across parks, schools, housing schemes, and car parks. It provides a discreet, cost-effective way to indicate boundaries and restrict vehicle or foot traffic without compromising visibility or landscape aesthetics.

Supplied as 1500 mm welded units, the system is available with either flat bar or circular steel posts, offering design flexibility to suit modern or traditional environments. Each unit is manufactured from mild steel sections—solid S275JR and hollow S235JR—hot dip galvanised for weather resistance, with optional polyester powder-coating in any RAL colour. Its modular nature ensures fast and straightforward installation.
