Why a weight limit? Does it matter if it's just being used as something to grab getting out of the shower?

Hi InPinkClover, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Adjustable Height Bathtub Grab Bar Safety Rail. This grab rail has a weight limit because if too much weight is placed on the grab rail it can cause it to snap or break much like anything that too much force is applied to. The weight limit is too ensure that under that weight it will not break.

As long as it is tightly secure to the bath tub there should be no problem . I found this product to be the best I have found that does keep it's grip to the shape of bath tub side .

When getting up against something like a tub or even the molding on the floor, you might need to reposition it while you are pushing it. I find that on occasion it doesn't move the way I need it to, but it is not a deterrent. It does the job. Also keep in mind that this is very wide. I am not sure how much space you have in your bathroom, but I find it cumbersome in my smaller bathrooms. Hope this helps. :)

I do not remember seeing anything on the package or in the specifications. My father has one in the shower and it has held 250 pounds easily.

It is aluminum and has rubber hand grips and feet. I see no reason why it could not be used in the shower. As one would expect, care should obviously be taken not to slip or overbalance, but that should not be solely a function of use of the walker, just common sense.

i am not aware of a weight limit. i'd call the manufacturer if it's an issue.

I use mine in the shower, but my shower does not have a lip so I can roll right in. The seat is not very comfortable without the padding on. I'm sure with the proper safety grab bars and assistance you could probably use it in a regular shower safely.

They have three different carrying methods and all can easily be removed. Would suggest setting on a stand just outside the shower so it can be easily reached if necessary.

I have a fiberglass shower tub one piece unit, I have mine on my left side. It is on the shower unit wall. I do understand what you mean about stability getting in and out. Follow the direction that came with the Super Grip Suction Handle. It is to balance you and not to take the weight. I do not shower without it. Before you get into the tub, make sure it is secured on a smooth surface.

It didn't stay stuck to the surfaces we tried ( shower and tiled wall). Both surfaces were clean and dry and smooth and still it popped offon it's own. Therefore, there was no weight put on it, so I don't know if there is a weight limit.

It is away, in its box and hopefully neither my husband nor I will need it again... otherwise I would weight it for you. Just check the shipping weight with Amazon and subtract a couple of pounds for the box? To my memory it is light enough that only a very frail person would have a problem moving it about and the bottom bucket is easy enough to put on when it is taken away from above the toilet and easy to clean in the shower or under the tub faucet if it is used. On the other hand, it was strong enough to securely hold my 135 pounds. I am sure it would have also held my husband, who is about 160 and wider than I.

300 lbs ! My wife is only 105 lbs....not a problem, I am 235 lbs and tested it before she came home just to make sure it held together and IT DID !! VERY STABLE BENCH , make sure you order the extra grab handles, it makes life so much easier in the shower . I DO make it a habit of checking the screws after every few uses just for my own piece of mind, they haven't loosened at all.

I don't think so - not made to support much weight. I used it to hold together metal shower door to frame, worked for a while and peeled off, may have been related to humidity of shower though.

Yes, I have used it in my shower for over a year as I was concerned about my grandchildren slipping in the shower. It stays in place with a firm grip. A feeling of safety when getting in and out of shower also.

It is strong enough as long as it is mounted with heavy duty spring loaded anchor screws. I only use it to hold the shower head and soap but it is sturdy and well made. The install would determine how much weight it could support. A stud finder might help.

This works very well for stepping out of the bathtub. The foot stool with the handle is very stable at all times and I wish I had gotten it much sooner. I'm not sure what you mean about using it as a safety bar.

It weighs about five pounds, and I regularly move it in an out of the shower without any problem. Its a good piece to have and I removed the back because it very useful without it.

I am very pleased with the bar. I attached it to the tiled shower wall and it is used for stability and support. I broke my knee cap and while I am gaining my strength back, I use it to keep from slipping in the shower when I turn around, etc.It was great when I needed it to hold onto when I was sitting on a bath chair and had to maneuver myself around to get out of the tub. I want to buy a couple more for another area. It's inexpensive and when I don't need it, I can remove it.
