Become A Distributor

Stock the Uni-Fit modular handrail range. No obligation to hold stock, protected territory, and free display units for Gold distributors.

Uni-Fit distributors supply modular handrail and barrier fittings to fabricators, builders, fencing contractors and trade customers across Australia. There’s no obligation to hold stock, a Gold distributorship starts with a $2,000 opening order, and territories are capped so you aren’t competing with three other outlets down the road.

We’re Australian owned with more than 50 years of industry experience and warehouses in Sydney and Melbourne. There are around 30 distributors on the network, and we’re actively growing in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

What the display looks like

The Hammertone gondola is a freestanding unit, 900mm wide by 2,100mm high, with four basket shelves and a base shelf holding the full component range. If you’d rather use shelving you already have, the blue bucket option fits the same stock into heavy duty plastic tubs across a 900mm shelf.

Your territory is protected

We cap the number of distributors in any given area rather than signing up everyone who applies.

Regional areas run a maximum of two to three Gold distributors and two Silver distributors. Major cities are spread strategically so each distributor holds exclusivity over its immediate area.

That cap is also why leads work the way they do. Phone and website enquiries are passed through to the distributor covering that area, and because areas aren’t oversubscribed there’s a clear owner for every enquiry that comes in.

What you get from us

Product catalogues and physical samples

  • Give-away notepads, pens and builders pencils for your counter
  • Free store signage, roll-up banners and A2 wall posters
  • A full-scale handrail display model, 800mm wide by 1,100mm high
  • Free gondola or bucket display for Gold distributors, including onsite setup

Handrail fittings are hard to sell from a photograph. The full-scale display model lets a customer put their hands on it and work out what they need, which shortens the conversation considerably.

If you’d rather start light, the catalogue kit is free and gives you enough to open conversations with your trade customers and see if the range fits your market.

Training and setup

Onboarding includes free onsite training and setup of the gondola system, so your counter staff aren’t left working it out from a catalogue. Ongoing product training runs both online and onsite.

The system connects 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm and 80mm nominal bore posts using only nine items, and the fittings rake up to 80 degrees on site. Staff who know the combinations can answer a customer question in thirty seconds instead of sending someone away to measure again.

Stock and lead times

Stock is held in Australia across both our Victorian and New South Wales warehouses. Lead times run two to three days for stock items and three to four weeks for manufactured items.

Read that second figure before you quote a job. Standard components move quickly, but anything manufactured to order needs planning into your customer’s programme.

We'll help you quote the big jobs

You’re not left to price large projects on your own. We provide free take-offs, shop drawings, customised solutions and installation guidance.

For a merchant without a detailer on staff, that’s the difference between quoting a 400 metre walkway job and passing on it.

Why distributors stock Uni-Fit

Margins are strong. The components are consumable, so customers come back rather than buying once and disappearing. And the range widens your customer base, because handrail and barrier work turns up across fencing contractors, fabricators, builders, industrial maintenance crews, councils and civil contractors.

The system is built to meet AS 1657:2018, the Australian Standard for fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders. Customers specifying industrial handrails need to satisfy it, and supplying a system designed around it puts you in the conversation.
