slab grabber handrail
A slab grabber handrail is a safety device designed to provide edge protection on concrete slabs during construction or maintenance work. It attaches securely to the edge of the slab to create a temporary barrier, preventing workers from falling off the edge of an elevated surface. Unlike other handrails, a slab grabber handrail typically features a clamping mechanism that grips onto the slab without requiring drilling or penetrating the concrete.
- Heavy-duty – Frame constructed from carbon steel.
- Versatile – Easily attach 2X4’s or 2X6’s or string cable for perimeter guardrail barrier.
- Corrosion resistance – Hot Dipped Galvanized or powder coating surface provides an excellent finish and protection.
- Simple Install – Adjust the guardrail post open width and tighten only by the top handle rotating
- Meets and exceeds OSHA/ANSI Standards

- Ensure the slab decking and structure can support the system and installer before you install the guardrail system.
- Work surface surfaces must be free of debris, gravel, and loose or slippery concrete surfaces that could interfere with slab grabber bearings.
- Measure and space the location of each slab grabber, no more than 8 feet between each one, or more than 12 inches from any outside or inside corner.
- Rotated the top handle in a counter-clockwise motion to open the post clamp slightly larger than the desired slab decking thickness.
- Place the clamp over the slab edge and make sure the post is positioned perpendicular to the slab surface.
- Adjust the top handle to tighten in a clockwise motion until the grabber is secure on the concrete slab. If using a torque wrench, tighten no more than 30 lbs./ft.
- Place the 2” x 4”, 2” x 6” or cable through the top rail and mid rail space on the post, use nails to secure 2” x 4” or 2” x 6”.
- The 2” x 4” or 2” x 6” can be used as toe boards if needed. The process is the same as above.
- Clear up all dirt, corrosives and contaminnats on the surface of the slab grabbers after use
- Store the grabbers in a dry place that can not be affected by heat and other chemicals elements
- A formal inspection is needed every 6 months. Inspect for deficiencies including but not limited to corrosion, cracks, bent or damaged sections. Record the inspection results.
- The damaged units can be repaired ONLY by representative person or entity authorized ones.
