Key Features

• Designed for 3-4 steps: The kit is sized for short flights with a total rail length of 54.2 in and a middle rail length of 39 in, providing appropriate reach and support for 3 to 4 step runs.
• Adjustable angle and height: The rail adjusts 0-35 degrees and accommodates step heights from 5-23 in, so it fits a wide range of inclined stair geometries without cutting.
