Built to Handle What Your Facility Throws at Them
In high-traffic institutional environments — hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities — handrails and crash rails take a beating every single day. Beds, carts, wheelchairs, and constant foot traffic put constant stress on your infrastructure. At GRIT Construction Services, we install heavy-duty handrails and crash rails engineered to take that abuse without failing.
We don’t cut corners on materials or installation. Every system we put in is secured properly, level, and designed to last for years without costly replacements.

Why Handrail Installation Matters
Improperly installed or worn-out handrails are a serious liability. In Ontario, building owners are responsible for ensuring handrails meet safety and accessibility standards under the Ontario Building Code and AODA. A failing handrail isn’t just an eyesore — it’s a legal and safety risk.
GRIT brings over 10 years of institutional installation experience to every job. We understand the compliance requirements, work cleanly in active facilities, and complete projects on schedule.
