The FabEnCo FabRail safety rail system is a component, highly versatile and effective safety solution engineered to install quickly and easily in virtually any kind of environment. Constructed of long-lasting 1-1/2' (1.90 OD) Flo-Coat,® FabRail is built to serve your needs. With nothing more than a hex key needed to install, FabRail enables you to create a permanent, durable OSHA-compliant barrier in no time.
In 1972, FabEnCo introduced its first patented self-closing safety gate to meet the OSHA requirement for fall protection at platform and ladderway openings. Today, FabEnCo has sold more than 600,000 self-closing safety gates and is recognized as the world's leading manufacturer of industrial safety gates.
