Can I use the handrail in order to lift myself onto the platform/step?

just be careful it isn't as sturdy as it should be. I bought this for my mom but I am afraid she will fall.

Hi Jan, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! The handrail is more for balance when you are utilizing the step. It may be able to be used to aid in lifting yourself onto the step if you are careful to not tip the step.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. The handrail on this stool is only to be used for balance. I hope this helps with your decision to order this product. If we can be of any other help, please feel free to contact us.

The handrail is adjustable. I found a site that said, "For decks higher than 56" use # EB100", which is a ladder riser so that would help you. Here is a link to the manual which also includes a phone number on the last page. Hope this helps. http://www.conferplastics.com/Confer-Model-635-52.pdf

I think you can use your Box Spring. I orderd over Amazon higher railing which i Love because i can store boxes underneath

If turned sideways yes it would work but I personally would not recommend using any walking cane on a staircase if there is a handrail available.

Yes you can. I am very happy with this lift system. I'm constantly adjusting for my two children as one needs it lower than the other. It's well designed and well made!

You can stand on the top most platform but not the top most rail which is only about 4 inches in with and would not support a person. There is a sign on the top railing warning not to do so as well. I hope this helps. I would add however that these are wonderful light weight ladders of which I have two and I use them all the time.

Yes you can. To be able to do this you have to make sure that your height is exact. If you don't you can still do it but it will pull at your ankles

yes, if secured properly- i have used it to hold on to and pull myself up , with assist from the rear step. there is room under the rack for you to place your foot while climbimg over or stepping to the side as i do on my Kawasaki

To tell you the truth, it does rock, or shift, a little when you do what you describe. But I don't think it's a problem so long as you don't elevate the platform above it's base position. Which you shouldn't have to do. Of course, with your heels hanging off (or below the flat level of the platform a little bit), it would seem to me you might need to support yourself, like you would with a stair bannister on one side, if you had one. Unless you are a championship gymnast.

Yes, as long it's not 10 pair of wet blue jeans. It is not a handrail, but it is sturdy. It does bend when you lean on it.

I think you could use it. I put my right foot on and bring the step down then do the left one. This machine is really a good workout!

Yes you can use by itself but keep in mind several of the tracks are up and down tracks and can ONLY be used on the tower pieces.

If you still have some of the arm to press the lever you could. I tried today with just one hand and couldn't without part of the other arm to press the lever.

i put one foot in a handle like a stirrup and do leg presses. With your foot still in the handle you can also lift leg up toward ceiling and lower it slowly. Works great just have to make sure your foot doesn't slide out of handle.

Yes! Can be mounted to solid wall just by not using spindle attachment. However, you could also just get the CareRail extensions which do the same job and which can attach directly to an adult handrail and/or the solid wall (but they are shorter, so for a full staircase you might need 4 of them)

I would say yes, provided the steps are not too steep for you or too long for the ramp to span.
