Straight Grab Rail

Goldfern Straight Grab Rail

The Goldfern Straight Grab Rail provides a fixed handhold for suitable areas around the home, including bathrooms and other wet environments. Its water-resistant, textured non-slip surface is designed to improve grip, and the range is NZS 4121 compliant.

Two finishes are available: Stainless Steel and antibacterial Nylon. The Nylon version also uses an aluminium-reinforced core and a surface designed with anti-UV and anti-aging properties. Your current MoveSmart range offers nine lengths in each finish: 300, 400, 450, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 and 1200 mm.

Goldfern Grab Rail Care and Maintenance Guide

Why Choose the Goldfern Straight Grab Rail?

The broad range of lengths makes it easier to select a rail for the available wall space and intended hand position, while the two finish choices allow the installation to be matched to different environments. Correct wall fixing is essential: the rail should be installed by a suitably qualified person into a sound structure using fixings appropriate for the wall type.

Position and Installation Matter

Straight Grab Rail can provide a reliable handhold only when its location matches the movement the user actually makes. Consider whether support is needed while approaching, turning, lowering, standing or stepping, and position the rail so it can be reached without over-stretching. The most useful angle and height can differ between a toilet, shower, bath or hallway.

Installation must suit the wall structure and the loads placed on the rail; wall lining alone may not provide adequate support. A competent installer should select appropriate fixings and confirm the mounting surface. An occupational therapist can help determine placement where the user has complex balance, strength or transfer needs.
