Father with Cancer....Testimony

I found your product on the internet. My father is older and has recently been diagnosed with cancer. He is quite weak and having trouble getting into my automobile. I was using a regular step stool but it was small and dangerous. Every step stool I found was not practical. I found your product by entering “ senior step stool “ into search engine hoping I could find a product that was geared to someone like my dad.


Maria





Editors Note:

Maria’s father is physically weak because his cancer has zapped his strength. Finding a safe step stool for him to use would seem fairly simple but as Maria eluded it is anything but easy to find a safe sturdy step that is lightweight yet large enough for a physically challenged elder to maneuver on. Maria found the Senior Step to be the step stool that best suited her dad’s needs because of the large top surface and the sturdy design of the rest of the step.




David DuPont invented the Shure-Step. It is a stackable safety step rated at 500 pounds that has many uses; Seniors, bariatric patients, physical therapists, rehabilitation facilities, bus, train, aircraft and transportation drivers, warehouse workers, mechanics, and technicians, even children benefit from the stability and strength of the Shure-Step. Shure-Steps have a non-slip surface with height starting at 6 and 10 inches, and allows you to stack them to reach up to 16 to 22 inches high or more for a guaranteed safe reaching and stepping aid.

We have a bed with high mattresses...Testimony

We have a bed with high mattresses, and of late, my husband has encountered mobility problems. He had been using a regular step stool (approx. 6x6", with steel legs and rubber feet) to provide necessary height to properly get himself on the mattress without slipping off. However, one evening last week the stool went out from under him, causing him to fall on the floor. We concluded he needed something bigger (in area), and without feet.

I had seen step stools specifically designed for beds with high mattresses, and launched an internet search to find something appropriate. Alas, most of the items I found were what I would call fancy furniture, without slip guards, two step, and with feet. I had used the search term "high bed step stool" and "step stool for high beds", but changed my tack and queried for "senior" step stools. Quite a few sites come up, yours among them, and I think Google keyed on precisely that term. After reviewing your offerings visually, discussing the items with my husband, and talking with you, I placed the order, as your suggestion (the Shure-StepII) seems to be what he needs.

Carolyn Grimes



Note from the editor:

Carolyn has encountered a very common problem. When we get into our “Silver Years” it becomes harder and harder to bend our knees very far. Getting into or out of bed becomes a bigger challenge than we would like to think. Having a step stool that has a large standing surface and one that won’t slide out from under you is essential!! After speaking with her, measuring the distance from the ground to the top of the bed, she thought that the Shure-Step would make it easier for her husband to get into bed. So, Carolyn invested in one of our yellow 10 inch high step stools for her husband and reports that it is working well. No more problems with a sliding step and he can see the yellow step much easier in the dark.

David C. DuPont had invented the safest Shurestep step stool not for his own gratification but specifically to help people prevent unwanted accident like he had before while using unsafe crate to stand on. That incident pushed David to create a more stable, sturdy and safest step stool anyone could use. Visit his website for more info www.Shure-Step.com



Yellow Shure-Step II has Smooth Top and with 2 strips of sand paper on top to prevent slip when on top. And is 10"H - 24"L - 13.5"W and weighs 8 Lbs.

Safe Step Stool Replaces Apple Boxes

Insider Tip: How To Keep Apple Boxes From Sliding on Snow or in Icy Weather

“Whenever our crew uses apple boxes filming outside and there is snow on the ground, the apple box slides and creates a dangerous situation. Your Shure-Step looks like the perfect replacement that won’t slide in the rain or snow.” – Randy J, Senior Engineer, ABC News New York

When your video crew is filming outside in the elements and you’re using an apple box on snow, ice or other slick surfaces, you just know that the person standing on the apple box might move or shift their weight… Causing the apple box to shoot out from under them, what’cha gonna do then? To prevent this sort of problem check out Shure-Step and some of the safest step stools in the world. Customers that have owned these steps for a while, brag on how tough they are to their peers.

Built in similar shape and size to the apple box the Shure-Step’s advantage is that it provides a much more secure platform because of it’s hollow underneath with a perimeter wall. Unlike the apple box that has a flat surface plywood bottom.

The Shure-Step is a step stool that has no legs, it weighs 10 pounds, it’s rated for 500 pounds and they offer ice cleats for the bottom of their step stools to keep them safe even on icy surfaces. Get an apple box to do that!! Best of all, the Shure-Steps can be ordered in black, so they disappear from the camera.

Senior citizens have loved these steps for years because these steps are sturdy and make it easy to get into buses, trucks and SUV’s. Don’t you think it’s time you looked at them for your film crew? You and your crew will be happy you did.
