They move people safely and smoothly. But like any machine, they can face problems. One of the most common issues is a derailed handrail. While it might seem minor, a derailed handrail can lead to serious safety risks if left unchecked.<\/p><p>In this article, we\u2019ll walk through why handrails derail, how to identify the cause and the correct steps to fix them.
