Drive Medical Clamp-On Tub Rail – Adjustable Height, 300 lb
Drive Medical™ Tool-Free Adjustable Height Steel Clamp-On Tub Rail (300 lb Capacity)
Telescoping Height Adjustment (14.5" to 17"), Tool-Free Stainless Steel Locking Clamp (Fits 3" to 7" Tub Walls), White Powder-Coated Steel Construction, Non-Marring Rubber Contact Pads
Stepping over high bathtub ledges is a primary fall hazard in the home, especially when smooth tile, acrylic, or porcelain surfaces offer no sturdy leverage points. Drilling permanent screws into tile or bathroom surrounds isn't always practical or permitted in rental spaces. The Drive Medical™ Adjustable Height Steel Clamp-On Tub Rail (RTL12036-ADJ) provides a heavy-duty, tool-free safety rail designed to clamp securely onto standard bathtub rim ledges while adapting to user height preference.
Constructed from durable, white powder-coated steel weighing 7 lbs, this safety bar features an adjustable height range from 14.5 inches to 17 inches above the tub rim to accommodate users of different statures. The internal stainless steel locking mechanism adjusts effortlessly without tools to fit tub rim thicknesses between 3 inches and 7 inches, protected by non-marring rubber pads to prevent tub surface scratches. Supporting up to 300 lbs, it delivers essential leverage and balance assistance when entering or exiting the bath.
