Mechanical stair climbing aid TOPRO Step

Activity is the body’s own medicine. With the TOPRO Step stair aid, you choose a safe, independent, and active everyday life by maintaining your muscles and mobility.

The TOPRO Step is one of the most commonly used alternatives to straight and curved stairlifts. The system consists of a high-quality stainless steel railing system with a connected solid aluminum handle. For those who do not need the TOPRO Step handle, the railing system also works perfectly as a railing for all other areas in the house.

Some important advantages of the TOPRO Step compared to stairlifts:

  • The operation and the purchase can be up to 50% cheaper.
  • It is very reliable, as there is no electronics, batteries, or other devices that need frequent maintenance.

What does the stair climbing aid cost?

The prices for stairlifts are influenced by various factors just like stairlifts.

These include, for example, the layout of the stairs, the conditions on site such as wall material or differences in depth in the wall, the number of curves, the length of the required rail system, and the desired equipment.

Depending on your place of residence and country, you may be entitled to a subsidy from your insurance company or the state. Please check the requirements on your own.

Factors that influence stairlift prices

Unfortunately, no flat rate can be given for the stair climbing aid. Depending on your place of residence and country, you may be entitled to a subsidy from your insurance company or the state. Please check the requirements on your own.

Using the TOPRO Step

The user is always behind the handrail with both hands on the handrail or with one hand on the handrail and one on the railing. The handrail offers two grip heights so that the hands can be comfortably positioned on it.

The user pushes the handle one arm’s length away from themselves when going up the stairs. This is repeated for each step.

When going down the stairs, the handrail is lifted slightly to the side, releasing it from the lock. Here too, the handrail is pushed away at arm’s length, then set down so that the handrail locks into place – only then can you continue walking.

TOPRO Step is also a reliable solution for people who have difficulty gripping the stair railing on the side of the stairs, as the handle of the TOPRO Step is placed in front of the user.

TOPRO Step is our effort to make people with limited mobility more independent and secure in their everyday lives, and to enable everyone to maintain and promote their walking function at home.
