StairAide has been tested to withstand a load of over 1100 lbs. In fact, to ensure that StairAide will support people of larger size, we subjected the product to a load bearing test on a 20-ton H-frame press and applied progressively increasing pressure. Cracking of the top surface required over 3300 lbs and did not collapse StairAide. Even after the test, StairAide could still support the original load of 1100 lbs!
StairAide incorporates an anti-slip surface, an appropriately sized platform for your foot, and leaves your hands free for gripping the existing handrails.
