Hospital crash rails are widely used in corridors and other areas of medical facilities to assist patients, children, and others with walking. So, what is the suitable installation height for these rails?
Since hospital crash rails are mostly installed horizontally, the top of the rail should be 75-80 cm above the floor during horizontal installation. This height typically corresponds to the user's elbow level.
For users who need to support their entire forearm on the rail, the rail should be installed precisely at elbow height. Regarding vertically installed crash rails, the bottom should align with the level of the horizontal rail, while the top should extend to 10 cm above the user's shoulder height.
