*Please refer to second picture for grip variation. Manufactured by Grab Bar Specialists from 1.25″ 11 gauge, type 304 stainless steel, with an all stainless steel mounting hinge bracket. The smooth motion Friction hinge can be easily raised and lowered from a wheelchair with little effort. The friction holds the bar just past 90 deg when in the up position allowing it to be safely out of the way when not in use. Grab Bar Specialists heavy duty Flip-ups are designed, built, and tested to withstand 600lbs. (272kgs) of vertical load when properly installed.* This exceeds HUD, FHA,VA, ADA, ANSI and other federal, provincial, and local codes. *Grab Bars can only be as strong as what they are mounted to. It is imperative when installing any safety product to consult with a qualified contractor to insure you have sufficient backing. Grab Bar Specialists manufactures a standard 30″ loop with custom lengths available upon request. Flip-up safety rails are designed to be used for vertical load in the down position only.
