Steel Frame Edge Protection
Edge Protection Systems for Steel Frame Construction
Temporary edge protection systems for steel beams, floor edges and other open sides during steel frame construction.
APAC provides complete systems with mesh barriers, posts and different beam fixing attachments. The system can be selected according to the steel profile, fixing position and work sequence.
- Fixing options for different steel beams
- No-drill clamp solutions available
- Barrier, post and attachment supplied as one system
Real System Configurations
Edge Protection Systems Developed Around Real Project Needs
Below are several examples of systems APAC has developed around customer requirements.
I-Beam Clamp Edge Protection System
The system is very flexible. It does not rely on physical fixation. Does not require any fixing holes or sacrificial sockets.
I-Beam Facade Bracket Protection System
This system is lightweight but really strong. The Facade I Beam Bracket is adjustable horizontal to fit different I Beam installation tasks.
Technical Specifications
Check the System Before Ordering
For steel frame edge protection, the beam attachment is one of the most important parts to check.
The clamp range and connection details need to match the actual steel profile.
APAC can review your steel structure requirements and use CAD design to develop or adjust edge protection components for different beam sizes, fixing positions and project conditions.
APAC works closely with its manufacturing network to control the key stages of edge protection production, from material preparation and welding to surface treatment, inspection, and packing.
APAC combines in-house testing with production quality control to help identify issues before products reach site. Selected edge protection configurations can be checked for loading behaviour, connections and overall performance.
Applications
Common Steel Frame Applications
Steel frame projects can have several different open-edge conditions.
The fixing attachment may change from one area to another while the same post and barrier continue to be used.
Steel Deck Edges
Edge protection for open sides during metal deck installation and floor construction.
Building Facades
Edge protection fixed outside the main beam line where more working space is needed around the floor edge.
Steel Beam Edges
Temporary protection fixed directly to steel beams along open floor edges.
Installation Process
A Simple Installation Process
The exact method depends on the beam attachment, but the basic steps are similar.
-
Check the Beam
Confirm the beam size, fixing position and approved attachment.
-
Install the Clamp or Bracket
Place the attachment on the steel beam and secure it as required.
-
Install the Post
Fit the edge protection post into the attachment and make sure it is locked in position.
-
Install the Barrier
Place the mesh barrier between the posts and secure it.
-
Check Gaps and Corners
Make sure short sections, columns and corners are also protected.
-
Final Check
Check the complete system before the area is used.
OEM & Private Label
Make the System Fit Your Product Range
Different customers may need different beam sizes, colours, labels or packaging.
We can work from your drawing, sample or existing product range and help adjust the system where needed.
Product Design
We can prepare CAD drawings and review dimensions before production.
Component Design
Beam clamps, brackets and other parts can be adjusted for different steel profiles and fixing conditions.
Surface Finish
Available options depend on the product and may include:
- Hot-dip galvanizing
- Zinc coating
- Powder coating
Color
Powder-coated products can be made in selected RAL colors.
Manufacturing & Quality
Consistent Parts for a Better System Fit
An edge protection system works better when the barrier, post and attachment fit together correctly every time.
APAC checks the important dimensions and connection points during production, helping reduce problems during installation, replacement and reuse.
Cutting
Cut tubes, plates and other parts to the required dimensions.
Forming
Bend and form the parts according to the drawing.
Welding
Check the weld position and main dimensions during welding.
Dimension Check
Measure key areas such as clamp openings and post connections.
Surface Treatment
Apply the required galvanizing, coating or paint finish.
Assembly Check
Fit the post, clamp and other related parts together to check that they work correctly.
Final Inspection
Check the appearance, dimensions, quantity and main connection points before packing.
Packing
Pack the barriers, posts and attachments according to the order.
Shipment Check
Confirm quantities, labels, and shipping marks before loading.
Packaging & Delivery
Packaging That Makes Handling Easier
Good packaging should protect the products, but it should also make them easier to count, store and move after they arrive.
Complete System Packing
Barriers, posts, clamps and accessories are checked together before shipment.
This helps reduce the chance of missing parts when the system reaches the warehouse or job site.
Steel Stillages
Mesh barriers can be packed in steel stillages for easier forklift handling and storage.
The stillages can also help keep products together when they are moved around the site.

FAQ
Steel Frame Edge Protection FAQ
Which clamp should I use for my steel beam?
It depends on the beam size, flange width, flange thickness and fixing position.
Send us the beam drawing or dimensions and we can help check the options.
Does the I-beam clamp need drilling?
The clamp-type system can be fixed to the beam without drilling fixing holes into the steel in suitable applications.
The exact fixing method should still be confirmed for the project.
Can one clamp fit different beam sizes?
Some adjustable clamps can cover a range of beam sizes.
The clamp working range should be checked against the actual beam before ordering.
Can I use my existing barriers and posts?
Possibly.
Send us the dimensions and connection details of your current system and we can check compatibility.
Can you make a new attachment from our drawing?
Yes.
We can review customer drawings, samples, or beam details and discuss a suitable OEM solution.
