Guide rails

Precision-engineered guide rails, ensuring smooth, safe lift operation every time.

About our guide rails

Guide rails form the backbone of every lift installation. They provide the critical pathway for safe car and counterweight movement. Quality rails reduce vibration, minimise wear on guide shoes, and ensure precise floor alignment throughout the lift’s operational life. Our comprehensive range includes both stock and imported rails, from compact T70-1/A profiles to heavy-duty T127/B sections, all manufactured to EN81 standards. We supply complete systems including fishplates, bolts and clips, with options for custom lengths, guaranteeing consistent straightness and surface finish.
