Classic Folding Reacher Grabber | NDIS Magnetic Mobility Aid

Restore independence and reduce the risk of falls in the home with the Classic Flexible Folding Grabber Tool. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this versatile reacher is designed to support NDIS participants living with reduced mobility, back pain, arthritis, or balance impairments.

Bending down to pick up objects or climbing on stools to reach high shelves are common causes of falls and injury. This robust tool acts as an extension of the arm, allowing users to retrieve items safely from the floor or overhead cupboards without overextending. Uniquely designed with a folding mechanism, it collapses down for easy storage in a bag or on a wheelchair, ensuring that assistance is always at hand whether at home or in the community. With a strong jaw capable of lifting up to 2.3kg and a magnetic tip for small metallic items, it empowers participants to manage their environment autonomously.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Fall Prevention: Eliminates the need to bend over or climb on chairs to reach items, significantly reducing the risk of dizziness, overbalancing, and falls.

• Joint Protection: Reduces physical strain on the back, hips, and knees, which is essential for participants managing chronic pain or recovering from surgery (e.g., hip replacement).

• Fine Motor Support: The integrated magnet allows users with limited finger dexterity to easily pick up small, fiddly items like keys, coins, or batteries.

• Facilitating Community Access: The foldable design allows the reacher to be transported easily, assisting with tasks like shopping or picking up dropped items while out and about.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Load Capacity: Engineered with a patented oversized latch that supports up to 2.3kg (5lbs) vertically, allowing users to lift heavier items like jars or bottles securely.

• Integrated Magnetic Tip: Features two built-in magnets for retrieving small metallic objects effortlessly, solving the frustration of dropped keys or coins.

• Foldable & Portable: Compresses down to approximately 36cm, making it easy to store in a handbag, drawer, or car glovebox.

• Mobility Aid Compatible: Designed with a specialized clip that attaches securely to standard 2.54cm (1 inch) tubes found on wheelchairs and walkers, ensuring the tool is always within reach.

• Rotating Rubberised Claw: The jaw rotates to fit vertical or horizontal spaces and features a non-slip grip to handle smooth objects safely.
