What exactly is a stair climbing aid?

For senior citizens or people who have difficulty walking or are severely restricted in their walking function, stairs can be a particular challenge in everyday life. A suitable stair climbing aid can therefore be a sensible purchase to help them master everyday life independently and regain some of their zest for life.

A stair climbing aid is therefore a stair climbing aid that supports people with limited walking function in their daily stair climbing.

TOPRO Step is a purely mechanical stair climbing aid for senior citizens and anyone with limited function. The climbing aid supports and secures you when climbing stairs – so you can remain active and independent.

The TOPRO Step stair climber is an innovative product for all people who have difficulty climbing stairs. It supports and secures you during daily stair climbing at home so that you can maintain your independence, master your everyday life without external or additional help and continue to be active.

The TOPRO Step mechanical stair climbing aid consists of two important components: the rail system or handrail and the grab rail.

The complete rail system is installed on the wall along the staircase. The grab rail is attached to the handrail and moves along the handrail and the locking rail during use.

The patented locking mechanism significantly reduces the risk of slipping and falling, because as soon as you apply pressure to the grab rail, it locks and provides you with the necessary support and safety.

Thanks to the elegant and high-quality design of the TOPRO Step, the stair climbing aid blends discreetly into your home and takes up very little space, because when folded, the TOPRO Step stands just 18 cm from the wall.

Both the handrail and the grab rail are made from high-quality, sustainable materials such as stainless steel and anodised aluminium.

How does a stair climbing aid work?

Up the stairs

When going up the stairs, hold on to the lower part of the grab rail.

  1. Move the grab rail one arm’s length forwards and upwards. Your arms should be fully extended.
  2. Now take one step up the stairs.
  3. Repeat this for each step.

Downstairs

When descending the stairs, hold on to the upper part of the grab rail.

  1. Lift the outer edge of the handle slightly.
  2. While the grab rail is raised, push the grab rail a full arm’s length away from you.
  3. Once you have lowered the grab rail and it has locked into place, you can take a step downwards.
  4. Repeat this for each step.

TOPRO Step is very easy to use and does not require an attendant, as the system works completely mechanically. After installation, you will receive a thorough introduction to the handling and detailed instructions to ensure that you can use TOPRO Step independently without difficulty.

People who are dependent on a wheelchair and need help getting up and down stairs can use an electric stair climber with integrated seat, for example. This is a mobile stair climbing aid or a mobile stair climber that can also be used in public buildings.

However, to be able to climb stairs with this type of stair climber, you need an accompanying person.
