Xpress II Attachment Methods

The custom aluminum extrusions can be directly mounted to the wall or attached to steel support towers. The lift can be installed on either side of the stairway and there are a variety of attachments methods to support the Xpress II. Listed below is a brief explanation of each method.

Direct Mount Anchored to Solid Walls

The rail can be direct mounted to solid concrete, concrete block woods support posts or steel support posts in the wall.

Direct Mount Anchored to Wood Stud or Thin Block Walls

The upper rail must be attached to a 2" x 8" board that is secured to the wall. For the lower rail, a 2" x 4" board can be used.

Freestanding Support Towers

Required when there are no existing support walls or when the lift must be located away from the wall structure.

Open Balustrade (Towers in the core)

These towers are fastened to the floor and secured to the walls or stringers.
