Product Information
Full details
The Ramp People Mobility Step is designed for individuals who struggle with high door thresholds or changes in elevation, offering a practical solution to reduce the strain of entering or leaving the home. It is an excellent tool for those using walking sticks, canes, or Zimmer frames who need a stable, intermediate platform. While it provides a significant boost in accessibility and safety, users should note that the 11.5kg weight makes it somewhat heavy to reposition frequently if portability across multiple locations is required.

FAQs
Does this step require any tools to assemble?

Can this be used on grass?
It is recommended to use the step on a solid, level surface like concrete, patio tiles, or decking to ensure maximum stability.
How much does the step weigh?
The unit weighs approximately 11.5kg.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
The step is rated to support up to 250kg.
Is the height adjustable to any level?
The height is adjustable from 80mm to 120mm using the feet, or 75mm if you remove the feet completely.
Can I leave this outside permanently?
Yes, the step is constructed for all-weather use, though routine inspection is advised to ensure it remains clean and level.
Troubleshooting
The step feels unstable or rocks when in use
Ensure the step is placed on a completely flat, hard surface and re-adjust the screw-in feet so all four points make firm contact with the ground.
Surface feels slippery in icy conditions
While the surface is slip-resistant, users should apply a salt-based ice melt or clear frost buildup manually during extreme winter weather to maintain safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the unit, simply attach the provided feet into the base of the step. You can adjust the height by threading the feet to your preferred level between 80mm and 120mm. Ensure the step is placed on a firm, level surface; if the ground is uneven, consider placing the unit on a flat patio slab or paved area. For ongoing maintenance, periodically check the feet to ensure they remain tightly adjusted. Clean the step with a mild detergent and water if debris or mud accumulates, ensuring the drainage holes remain clear for effective water runoff.
