Will this suction grab bar support body weight?

I would not depend on it to support body weight; I feel it is just to help balance a person. It can come loose; I have had the bottom lock come lose. It is a great help if you feel a little dizzy or light-headed. My balance is not that great so it helps me.

The tiles in our shower were smaller than the suction cups, so it couldn't hold to the wall at all. I suggest you check that out if you have a tiled shower.

I weigh 190 lbs and used them solely for balance and assistance after my surgery. I also had to sit on a stool in the shower. I had to grab bars and used them to assist me in standing up. They are really great, but I don't believe they were designed to support your body weight.

Yes they do support body weight. If twisted it sometimes will lose its suction. I love them and I have not had any problems. They are a great solution if you do not/can't install permanent grab bars.

Yes it will support the heaviest you got and so easy to install I love it I guarantee it. I tried handing from it and I weigh 145 lbs

I guess you could. The suction parts slide on the bar so you can put it where you want it.

Should hold body weight without body making contact with supporting surface. Should sink some at contact point(s) allowing "wave action" when body weight shifts.

No. The bar is not designed as a grab bar. In many areas building codes require the bar be set at least four feet above the shower floor to prevent its use as a grab bar.

The body itself definitely can, so if you have a mount on the bottom of your crane then its fine. The can can only hold 10-13 lbs though so it depends on how much your crane weighs

I weigh 165 and I just use it as an aide with another floating device close at hand. I don't think it would just flat out hold up my weight.

Absolutely not. I tried using mine on a metal door and hung a small welcome sign that weighed less than a pound. Found it on the ground every day. Suction cup does not work :-(

No, the hardware provided only allows you to mount the bar to tile which will not support the weight of a person. A grab bar needs a stud behind the tile to provide support for a person.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

I think it would. I would give it a try. This grab bar works really great!!!

As long as the weight limit is not exceeded and you are able to securely mount it, it should hold.

No problem - my tub is polyurethane and the grab bar is attached at a spot at which the inner and outer surfaces are not parallel. The large size and the rubber pads of the gripping plates keep it firmly attached without marring or buckling the tub walls.

Yes it will pick up that much weight, but it may be strenuous on your wrist. We use this device frequently to pick up large items. The grip does require some force but I am not sure how much. The type of squeeze grip they have created is very user friendly. This is a top of the line product that is very durable.

never tried it, but I'm guessing that if you would elevate it so that there would be a gravity feed, it might work if you can get the suction started.

I believe it is capable to hold your weight based on the durability of the tool box. I have yet to put it to the test but will not hesitate doing so if the situation arises.
