When working at height with Builders Trestles, there is always a danger of falling. To prevent dangerous falls and to comply with Work At Height Regulations 2005 , a Trestle scaffold should be equipped with a handrail system. A handrail system provides a safe working platform with safe ladder access. The system consists of handrail posts, Handrails, side or end gate, ladder bracket and outriggers / stabilisers. The builder’s trestle system is a flexible work platform that is ideal for simple tasks in construction or maintenance projects. Setting it up is easy. This is a system with minimal components and ease setting up, dismantling, storage, and maintenance are all aspects of this scaffold. -
Use our Trestle Handrail Post product to convert your existing Builders Trestles to comply with the Work At Height Regulations 2005.
The Trestle Handrail Post and Corner Post is the main component of our Trestle Handrail System. It is manufactured to hold 75mm x 50mm timber rails. 10mm holes are provided in the brackets to fix the timbers using screws.

The Trestle Ladder Access Gate is a 2 part component and can only be used in the face of the platform. To create an access point the Trestle Access Gate should be used alongside the Ladder Bracket and should be positioned in the face of the platform. Access points cannot be created at the end of the working platform. The end of the work platform can be blocked off using the access gate but this gate can only be used for loading materials and not as an access point for personnel.

Every work platform requires a ladder access point and DRE Builders Trestle Ladder Bracket doubles as a handrail post. The access ladder is fixed securely to the arm provided on the Ladder Bracket and should be installed to run up to the access gate on the work platform to provide safe access for users.
