Site Location: These units are highly recommended by barrier-free design experts because they provide the optimum approach path for wheelchair use.  Consult applicable codes for specific requirements.

Features: Swing up bar is only as strong as the wall and anchors to which it is attached.  Grab bar must be securely fastened  to wall  to withstand the load it is intended to support.  Units must be secured and anchored to wall or approved carrier according to installation specifications by a qualified tradesperson. Mandrel bending process on all curves maintains uniform bar diameter.  Grab bar is manually lowered to horizontal support position and raised for departure.  A locking system enables the flip up grab bar to be locked in either a horizontal or retracted position.

Also the types of loads (especially dynamic) applied are hard to predict. It’s up to the designer to determine the suitability of the use of these grab bars in this situation.
