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.
Your insurance company will usually tell you the requirements for applying for stair climbing assistance.
It is often a prerequisite that you are a member of a health insurance fund or equivalent.
It is also common that you or your relative must have an official care degree that proves both the need for care and limited mobility.
As a rule, this is a one-time grant.
If the insurance approves your application, you will receive a positive decision and the assembly of the TOPRO Step can begin. Submit the original invoice(s) to the care insurance.
The TOPRO Step is also available for outdoor use in many cases.
TOPRO Step is a purely mechanical aid and does not require a power connection.
The price varies depending on the type of staircase you have. Feel free to send us pictures of your staircase to and we will be happy to provide you with a non-binding cost estimate.
Of the several hundred installations we have made so far, there are many people with various illnesses who benefit daily from TOPRO Step. The youngest user is a 6-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and the oldest is a 95-year-old man suffering from mobility limitations.
Typical users are people who find it difficult or frightening to climb stairs for various reasons. Some have experienced falling on flat ground or on the stairs and wish for more support and safety when climbing stairs.
TOPRO Step is suitable for people who want to stay active and on the move, while also wanting to be safe. TOPRO Step was developed to help users with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), CP, Parkinson’s, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), stroke patients, or people who are in rehabilitation after an operation or injury.
In most cases, TOPRO Step can be installed. We recommend taking some pictures showing the entire staircase and the area at the top and bottom of the stairs.
In most cases, it is advisable to extend the railing system by 30-40 cm from the edge of the top step at the top of the stairs.
In case of limited space or if the wall ends prematurely, we recommend sending us pictures to receive a quick response.
Yes, it is not a problem to mount the TOPRO Step railing system above the already installed railing. However, we always recommend that the TOPRO Step railing replaces the old railing. The handrails of the TOPRO Step are made of stainless steel and are therefore well suited as handrails for all users of the stairs.
Yes, there are some children who use TOPRO Step in their daily lives and benefit from it. Our youngest user is 6 years old. Click here to watch Peder’s (6) first trial run with TOPRO Step. We recommend testing TOPRO Step beforehand in one of the public facilities where it is installed.

Yes. Here you can see the video of Andrea, who has lost all feeling in her legs due to neuropathy.

We often receive feedback from our customers and users that pushing the handle uphill in front of them is much easier than they had imagined.
The handle is made of aluminum and weighs only 1.3 kg – so it is not much heavier than pushing a walker in front of you. Going downhill, lift the handle 2-3 cm high to push it in front of you. Stroke patients often prefer to do this with one hand.
Yes. The standard version of TOPRO STEP is a combination of shades of gray and nature-anodized aluminum. Please contact us if you would like to personalize TOPRO STEP.
Longer delivery times must be taken into account in this case.
Please check with local authorities if a building permit is required for the installation of the TOPRO Step. This applies to both installation in a private household and in a shared stairwell.
TOPRO Step has been tested and certified by TÜV NORD for users up to 120 kg.
