One Step Stool with Handrail
A single step with a handrail, halving a step that is too high and giving something solid to hold.
Why this one
Halves a high step
Turns one step that is too high into two manageable ones, for a vehicle, a bath rim or an awkward doorstep.
Handrail included
The handrail gives something solid to hold while your weight is on one leg, which is the unstable moment.
Stops improvised grabbing
Without a rail, people grab a door frame or a towel rail, neither of which is designed to take weight.
Use it on level ground
Place on a firm level surface and check it does not rock. Meant for stepping through, not standing on.
About this product
A single step with a handrail attached. It reduces a step that is too high into two smaller ones, with something solid to hold while you take them.
Where a step like this is needed
Getting into a vehicle, particularly a van or an SUV where the floor sits high. Climbing into a bath with a high rim. A single awkward step at a back door or into a garage. Or reaching a high bed.
The common factor is one step that is simply too tall for the person's hip and knee range, which turns a routine movement into a struggle or a fall.
The handrail is the important part
A step on its own gives you height. A step with a rail gives you height plus something to hold while your weight is on one leg, which is the unstable moment.
Without a rail, people reach for whatever is nearby, a door frame, a car door, a towel rail, none of which is designed to take weight and any of which may move.
Using it safely
Place it on a firm, level surface and check it does not rock before stepping on. Non-slip surfaces on the tread matter, particularly if it is used outdoors or anywhere it may get wet.
It is a step, not a platform, so it is meant for stepping through rather than standing on for any length of time.
Also worth knowing
If the difficulty is getting into a bath specifically, a transfer bench or a step-thru kit may solve it better and more safely than a step. Tell us the situation and we will say which is the better answer.
