Ladder Course for Ascent and Descent

The StairSteady is a simple mechanical handrail system that helps you keep using your own stairs safely and independently. A slim rail is fixed to the wall along the staircase, and a support handle runs along it: it glides when you push it forward, locks as soon as you put weight on it, and unlocks when you lift it to move on.

Because you hold the handle in front of you with both hands, you climb or descend at your own pace and can stop to rest whenever you need. It suits older people, anyone recovering from surgery or injury, and people with reduced strength or balance – and it keeps you active, rather than replacing your own movement as a stairlift does.

1. SlidePush the handle forward – low-friction pads let it glide smoothly along the rail.
2. LockPut your weight down on the handle – rubber brake pads grip the rail instantly and hold you steady.
3. MoveLift the handle slightly, slide it to the next comfortable position and repeat, all the way to the top or bottom.
