Finding the right equipment can make life easier for you. Select an option below.

Walking

Items of equipment that offer a person support when walking. These need to be measured up specifically for a person to use.

 

Grab rails

Grab rails installed on both sides of a door can help you to manage a step.

Ramp

A portable sloping surface that may be used as an alternative to having to climb a couple of steps. Please be aware that the recommended gradient for a ramp is 1:12 therefore it is necessary to check that the ramp will not be too steep. Other considerations are the weight of the ramp and whether the person transporting it has sufficient strength and flexibility to be abler to move and install it correctly.

 

Step

May be used to reduce the effective height of existing steps. Consider the dimensions of the step relating to where it will be used.
