Mobility Steps

Goldfern Mobility Steps for Safer Everyday Access

The Goldfern Mobility Steps provide a stable raised platform for situations where a small change in level is difficult to manage. Their lightweight rust-free aluminium frame combines a non-slip foot mat with rubber feet, and the range includes options with or without a supporting handle.

Three configurations are available: Fixed Height without Handle, Fixed Height with Handle, and Adjustable Height with Handle. This makes it possible to choose a simple low step or a model with an additional handhold and greater platform height.

Choosing the Right Mobility Step

The fixed-height models place the foot plate approximately 140 mm above the floor. Choose the version without a handle when a compact platform is all that is required, or the handled version when a handhold is useful while stepping up or down.

The adjustable handled model raises the platform to approximately 200–250 mm. Because that is a noticeably larger step, it is important to choose a height that matches the user's ability and the access problem being addressed rather than assuming a higher platform is automatically better.

Stable Platform with a Large Foot Area

The foot plate measures approximately 450 x 320 mm, giving the user a defined standing area once they have stepped onto the platform. The non-slip mat increases underfoot grip, while rubber feet help the frame remain stable on a suitable level floor.

The published maximum user weight is 159 kg. The step should always sit level with all feet firmly on the floor before use.

Using the Handle Safely

The handled models provide a convenient handhold during the stepping movement, but the handle should not be confused with a permanently installed grab rail. The user still needs sufficient balance and stepping ability for the task, and the product should not be used where a more substantial transfer or access solution is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What versions are available?

Choose fixed height without a handle, fixed height with a handle, or adjustable height with a handle.

How high is the fixed-height step?

The fixed-height foot plate is approximately 140 mm from the floor.

How high is the adjustable model?

The adjustable handled model can be set from approximately 200 to 250 mm.

What size is the foot plate?

The foot plate measures approximately 450 x 320 mm.

What is the maximum user weight?

The published maximum user weight is 159 kg.

Do the steps have a non-slip surface?

Yes. The platform has a non-slip foot mat and the frame has non-slip rubber feet.

Which model should I choose if I want a handhold?

Choose either of the handled versions. The fixed model keeps the 140 mm step height, while the adjustable model provides a higher 200–250 mm platform.

Is a higher adjustable step always better?

No. A higher step requires greater leg lift and balance. Choose the lowest practical height that solves the access problem and suits the user's ability.

Can the handle be used like a fixed grab rail?

No. It provides a handhold as part of the step, but it is not a permanently mounted grab rail or a substitute for a more substantial transfer aid where one is required.

Is the frame suitable for bathroom use?

The frame is rust-free aluminium, but any wet-area use still requires a suitable level surface. Keep the feet and floor clean and confirm the step is stable before use.

How much does the product weigh?

Goldfern lists a product weight of approximately 3.65 kg.

What should I check before each use?

Make sure the frame is level, all feet are firmly in contact with the floor, the non-slip surfaces are clean and intact, and any adjustable height points are securely engaged.
