Aluminium Handrail &
Walkway System
The QUICKLOCK
TM
Aluminium Handrail
and Walkway System
Aluminium Offshore has designed and
produced a series of extrusions and
components which can be quickly bolted
and locked together using fasteners and a
patented locking system. This allows the
modular building block system to achieve
an infinite number of layouts. No welding
or special tools are involved for its
installation. The system can also be
retrofitted in place of steel or GRP railings
and walkways.
There’s more. Because it is made of
aluminium alloy, QUICKLOCK
TM
is light yet
strong, durable and maintenance free.
Complying with the latest international
design standards, QUICKLOCK
TM
is also
aesthetically pleasing.

Q: How are the handrails
connected onto an existing steel
structure?
A: There are two ways to mount handrails
on an existing steel support: top mount and
side mount. Both connection methods use
fasteners and no welding is involved. This
hotwork-free method can save valuable time
and manpower for installation and reduce
risk.
Q: How do you prevent bimetallic
galvanic corrosion at the
connections?
A: Connections are electrically insulated via
neoprene, teflon or stainless steel as per
codes. Although aluminium and carbon steel
are not too far from each other on the
galvanic table, we err on the side of caution
and insulate the two metals.
Q: What is the design life of the
Quicklock
TM
system?
A: The Quicklock™ system is manufactured from
corrosion resistant marine aluminium alloys of
the same type as our time tested aluminium
helidecks. The handrail system should outlast the
structure it is placed on. Furthermore, we offer a
20 year warranty against structural corrosion.
Q: Is the Quicklock
TM
system approved
by major classification societies and
rules?
A: Yes, the Quicklock™ system has an extensive
track record of use on various projects approved
by DNV, ABS et al.
Q: How often do I have to carry out
maintenance for the handrails?
A: Our handrails are designed to be maintenance
free for their lifetime. They do not need painting
and will not rust like steel handrails. No cracks will
develop unlike GRP rails. We recommend visual
checks according to your planned inspection
schedule to check if any physical damage has
occured though.
