1. Selection rule
Start from the input stock. A stair handrail second-shaping machine accepts finished round tube and re-forms it into a handrail section. A highway guardrail line starts from coil and forms W-beam / thrie-beam roadside panels. Fence picket lines are a third family. Do not mix catalogs or RFQs.
2. Cheat sheet
| If you need… | Start with |
|---|---|
| Stair / balcony handrail from round tube (~φ48 / φ59) | Handrail second-shaping host |
| Roadside W-beam / thrie-beam panels from coil | Highway guardrail host (pack 07 family) |
| Fence pickets / pales | Fence lines (pack 45) — not this handrail host |
3. Handrail reference (FAQ)
| Item | Recommended / notes |
|---|---|
| Input tube | ~φ48 and ~φ59 mm (procure matching round tube) |
| Thickness | ~1.5–2.0 mm; FAQ also notes support ≤2 mm |
| Speed / stands | ~10 m/min; ~9 form + 3 straighten/sizing |
| Main / gearbox | ~7.5 kW; reducer ~350 heavy class |
| Shaft | ~φ60 (from ~φ70 bar); 40Cr quench; rollers GCr15; bearings 6313 |
| Footprint | ~3000×1350×1000 mm |
| Process | Tube load → second-shape roll → straighten/size → exit |
Some market handrail tube shapers quote different diameter / stand bands — industry orientation only; ZTRFM ratings stay on the named proposal.
4. Why they are not interchangeable
- Feedstock — tube vs coil
- Finished product — grip/stair section vs roadside impact beam
- Stand counts, motors, cutters — different families; never paste guardrail kW/m/min into a handrail RFQ
- Punch / post-form needs — highway lines often include heavy punching; the handrail reference is forming + sizing only
English sales copy may say “rail” for both products. In this encyclopedia, handrail second-shaping and highway guardrail stay on separate hosts.
5. Inquiry checklist
- Photo or drawing of the finished product
- Input stock: round tube OD or coil width/thickness
- Application: stair handrail vs highway barrier vs fence
- Confirm the correct encyclopedia host before discussing speed/power
6. Buyer FAQ
Same machine as “guardrail”?
No. Guardrail and fence hosts, stands, and coil feed are completely different. Do not paste guardrail kW/m/min into a handrail RFQ.
English naming confusion?
“Guardrail” in casual English sometimes means stair railing. In this encyclopedia, highway guardrail means W-beam / thrie-beam roadside equipment.
Can fence picket tooling run handrail?
No. Picket/pale lines are a fence family — keep them off handrail second-shaping proposals.
Where is the full handrail parameter page?
See the handrail second-shaping equipment entry for the named host table.
Selection map only. Final ratings follow the named proposal. Price and lead time are out of scope.
