Access and comfort in recreational activities are essential for people with reduced mobility, so that they can enjoy an inclusive and safe experience.

The use of stainless steel in adaptive equipment for people with reduced mobility is an efficient and safe solution, especially in environments where water is present as swimming pools. 

The grade of stainless steel most commonly used in these conditions is AISI 316, due to its resistance to corrosion in environments where it is in constant contact with salt or chlorinated water. This resistance ensures that mobility adaptive equipment maintains its structural and aesthetic integrity for many years without corroding or degrading.

There are many applications in adaptation elements but we would like to mention the most common ones: 

• Handrails in ramps: the use of stainless steel in this application not only provides safe structural support, but also guarantees that it will remain in these conditions over time.
• Easy access stairs: due to their larger width and the size of the steps, they are an alternative to conventional stairs which, in certain cases, can make access to the pool very difficult. 
• Lifts: both in chair and platform format, they allow people with reduced mobility to overcome different levels. Stainless steel is easy to clean and maintain, which guarantees adequate hygiene in these public spaces where contact is often direct.  
• Handrails: these are crucial both for people with reduced mobility and for all users in general as their function, to provide safe points of support, is useful for everyone. As they are made of stainless steel, they withstand the weight and pressure exerted by users without deforming. Their design will depend on the location and use to which they are to be fitted, but they all share one thing in common, the diameter of the bar must allow a firm hold.
