Rec'd elev shop dwg showing top of "handrail" inside cab @32"AFF.
Asked contractor why so low, contractor ensured it is code compliance. I asked him if he can lower it to b/t 34"-38"AFF. He said the AHJ would not allow.
I started to ask myself what is the purpose of this handrail? It is technically not a handrail because:
1-it is not 1 1/2" clear from the wall;
2-it is not circular in section
So what is the purpose of this "RAIL"? Is it bumper rail?
FYI, I looked in the local codes, and cannot find any requirement of mounting height.
