Toe Plate Stanchion Clip for 34mm Tube Guard Rail Posts, No-Weld Toe Board Fixing, Galvanised

The toe plate stanchion clip fixes a toe plate to a 34mm tube guard rail post with no welding, so a walkway or platform edge gets a kick barrier that stops tools and stock falling off. It is a galvanised pressed steel strap bent into a U. The strap wraps round the post and one grub screw through the back locks it at the height you set. Each straight leg has an open slot at its end, and the toe plates on either side are fixed through these slots, so one clip holds the ends of two toe plates where they meet at a post. It suits 33.7mm outside diameter tube, often called 34mm or 1" tube. The price shown is for one clip, with a minimum order of 10.

Why use a toe plate clip

Toe plates without welding. On tube guard rails, toe plates are usually welded or drilled. This clip grips the post and takes the toe plate fixings instead, so toe plates can be added to a rail that is already built, on site, with hand tools.

Keeps things on the platform. A toe plate along the floor edge stops boots kicking tools, fixings and stock off a mezzanine, walkway, gantry or loading dock onto people below.

Adjustable and removable. The clip slides along the post and locks with one screw, so it can be set to suit the floor and moved or taken off later.

Galvanised steel. The zinc coating suits indoor and outdoor platforms, roofs and yards.

Where it is used

Toe plates on mezzanine and platform guard rails, walkways and gantries, loading dock and roof edge rails, stair landings, and machine access platforms built from 34mm tube.

Specifications

Know its limits

The clip holds a toe plate in place along the floor edge; it does not make the guard rail stronger and is not a load-bearing fitting. It suits 33.7mm tube only. Toe plates and the bolts or fixings that pass through the slots are not included. Where a platform edge must meet a particular standard, check the toe plate height and fixing method with the person responsible for the design.

How many do you need?

One clip at each post where toe plates are fixed, at floor level. Each clip takes the ends of the toe plates on both sides of the post.

Choosing the right size

This clip is made for 33.7mm outside diameter tube, often sold as 1" or 25mm nominal bore and sometimes called 34mm tube. Measure across the post before ordering. It will not fit 42.4mm or 48.3mm posts.

Fitting and care

Slide the clip onto the post, or open it slightly and spring it round the post, with the legs pointing along the line of the toe plate. Set it at floor level and tighten the grub screw. Fix the toe plate ends through the slots with bolts and nuts, then check the toe plates sit tight to the floor. Check the screws and fixings once a year and touch up scratched galvanising with zinc-rich paint.
