Quick Device Facts Table

Mechanism of Operation
The stepping stool functions purely by mechanical support: a rigid platform transfers user weight safely to the floor through stable legs and a broad base, often aided by non-slip materials. In versions with handrails, lateral support helps maintain balance while stepping.
