EVA Handrails were developed in the frame of the project for the European Robotic Arm (ERA) to be used on the ISS. The intention behind the development of these handrails was to provide the astronauts with safe handling facilities for their EVAs.

A specialty of the handrails is their ability to compensate thermal expansions of the underground structure [by the use of spacers].
