MHT Flip-Up Grab Bar

The MHT Flip-Up Grab Bar is a professional-grade accessibility solution engineered to provide stability and safety in high-moisture environments. By combining high-strength materials with a space-saving design, it is ideal for both residential bathrooms and commercial healthcare facilities.

Below is a detailed breakdown of its specifications and design features.

Core Specifications

● Material: High-quality 201 Stainless Steel (corrosion-resistant and rust-proof).

● Design: U-shaped double-rail structure for maximum leverage and gripping surface.

● Mechanism: Smooth "flip-up" or "swing-up" motion with a tension-hinge that holds the bar securely in the upright position when not in use.

● Load Capacity: Typically rated for 300 lbs to 500 lbs (subject to professional installation into wall studs).

● Standard Lengths: Usually available in 610mm or 760mm lengths to accommodate different toilet clearances.

Finish and Color Options

MHT offers three distinct aesthetic finishes to match modern bathroom hardware:

1. Matte Black: A contemporary, powder-coated finish that resists fingerprints and water spots. Ideal for modern "industrial" or high-contrast bathroom designs.

2. Milky White: A clean, soft-touch finish that blends seamlessly with traditional white ceramic bathroom fixtures.

3. Matte (Brushed) Stainless: A classic architectural finish that provides a slightly textured surface for enhanced grip even when hands are wet.

Key Features

● Space Management: Folds 90° vertically against the wall, allowing wheelchairs to pull up closer to the toilet and providing more room for other household members.

● Enhanced Grip: The powder-coated finishes (Black and White) provide a more "tactile" feel than polished chrome, which can be slippery.

● Heavy-Duty Mounting: Features a thickened backplate (usually 3mm–4mm) with multiple anchor points to ensure the bar does not wobble under pressure.

Typical Applications

● Beside Toilets: Assists with "sit-to-stand" transitions.

● Shower Stalls: Provides a stable point for users who need to stand or sit on a shower bench.

● Care Facilities: Hospitals, nursing homes, and ADA-compliant public restrooms.

Installation Requirements

[!IMPORTANT] To ensure user safety, this bar must be mounted into a reinforced masonry wall. Mounting into hollow drywall using standard anchors is dangerous and can lead to structural failure.
