45° Angled Grab Rail

Goldfern 45° Angled Grab Rail

The Goldfern 45° Angled Grab Rail provides a fixed diagonal handhold for bathrooms, showers and other areas where extra support is useful. The 45-degree layout gives the hand a choice of lower and higher gripping positions along the same rail, which can suit movements where the user's hand naturally changes height while sitting, standing or stepping.

MoveSmart offers the rail in Stainless Steel and antibacterial Nylon, with 310 x 310 mm and 600 x 600 mm options. Both finishes have a textured, water-resistant gripping surface, while the Nylon version adds an aluminium-reinforced core plus anti-UV and anti-aging surface properties. The range is NZS 4121 compliant.

Why Choose an Angled Grab Rail?

A straight horizontal rail gives support at one consistent height, while a vertical rail allows the hand to move up and down. An angled rail sits between the two, creating a continuous handhold that changes height along its length. This can make it a useful choice beside a bath, shower, toilet or other transfer area where the ideal hand position changes through the movement.

The best location and angle still depend on the person using the rail and the surrounding room. For accessibility or transfer installations, positioning should be considered together with reach, wall construction and the other fixtures in the space.

Stainless Steel or Nylon

The Stainless Steel version provides a clean, durable finish with a 32 mm grab circumference. The Nylon version has a slightly larger 35 mm circumference and a textured antibacterial outer surface over an aluminium-reinforced core.

Both options are designed for suitable wet and dry areas. The choice usually comes down to preferred feel, appearance, hygiene requirements and the installation environment.

Secure Installation Matters

A grab rail is only as useful as the structure it is fixed to. Installation should be completed using fixings appropriate for the wall construction and intended load, with secure structural support rather than relying on wall lining alone.

The Goldfern rail uses multiple fixing points at its mounting bases and is also compatible with the Goldfern Flat End for Grab Rails attachment where an adjacent-wall configuration requires it.
