[...] Les cadres de transport peuvent être fabriqués de divers matériaux, mais ils sont généralement construits en bois.

The intention behind the development of these handrails was to provide the astronauts with safe handling facilities for their EVAs. The design of the handrails is compliant with the Human Factors Standards. The handrails are adapted for the EVA of astronauts and can therefore be used in every area of manned space. A specialty of the handrails is their ability to compensate thermal expansions of the underground structure [by the use of spacers].
