Add adjustable raking panels

Our innovative, adjustable raking panel.

A complete, time-and-money-saving solution for adding railings to stairs and slopes. Each panel is adjustable to up to 40Ëš allowing it to be fitted to almost any staircase, ramp or sloped pathway. Using a series of concealed pivot points on each vertical bar, the panel effortlessly connects to two posts at varying planes.

The advantage? You can arrive on site knowing that you will have the panel to perfectly meet the incline without any fabrication.

The Fortitude Raking panel can be used with any of the Fortitude ranges.

Add Handrail

You may also want to complete your system by adding handrail with our universal, versatile handrail capping sections. The quality-engineered component sections allow the installer to add the handrail to any 50mm post system with the same ease expected with the rest of the system, no welding, no hassle. Just cut to length and attach. Corners and inclines are also made hassle-free with adjustable components.
