Frequently asked questions
Is the necessary wall mounting hardware included?
No, the fasteners required to mount the Clinton Wall Mounted Folding Parallel Bars securely to your wall are not included. The customer must supply the appropriate mounting hardware based on their specific wall structure.
What is the minimum ceiling height to fold the bars?
The Clinton Wall Mounted Folding Parallel Bars require a minimum ceiling height of 8 feet (96 inches) to operate the folding mechanism safely.When deployed for physical therapy, the system only requires 14 feet of floor space, making the folding feature ideal for clinics with limited area.
What is included with the parallel bars?
The purchase includes the Main parallel bar assembly (the complete wall-mounted folding structure, handrails, and telescoping supports).
Please note that mounting hardware is NOT included. You must source the appropriate hardware separately based on your specific wall structure requirements for secure and safe installation.
Is the folding design space-saving?
Yes, the Clinton Wall Mounted Folding Parallel Bars are specifically designed to be space-saving, allowing the unit to fold vertically and compactly against the wall when not in use, instantly reclaiming valuable floor space.This feature makes them ideal for multi-purpose physical therapy rooms. Please note the following spatial requirements for setup and use: * Deployed Footprint: The bars require 14 feet of floor space when fully extended for patient use.* Ceiling Height Requirement: A minimum 8-foot ceiling height is required for the folding mechanism to operate correctly.* Folded Height: When stored against the wall, the unit stands 94 inches (239 cm) high.
How easily do these parallel bars adjust?
The parallel bars are engineered for quick and precise height customization, essential for busy physical therapy environments. This system allows therapists to quickly accommodate different patients and regimens.
Key features of the adjustment mechanism include:
- Height Range: The height can be easily adjusted from 28 inches up to 42 inches (71 cm to 107 cm).
- Simple Operation: Adjustments are made using smooth spring-loaded plungers and are guided by clear, numbered height strips located on the front legs.
- Enhanced Stability: A crucial safety feature is the secondary height knob, which is used to lock the front legs securely and completely remove any lateral (side-to-side) movement or play once the desired height is set.
Where are these professional parallel bars best used?
These Clinton parallel bars are robustly designed for professional physical therapy environments, prioritizing durability and clinical efficiency. They are best suited for:
- Physical Rehabilitation Clinics
- Hospitals
- Outpatient Therapy Centers
The equipment is intended strictly for physical therapy use, such as balance and gait training, and is not suitable for gymnastics or other athletic applications. The folding feature is ideal for multi-purpose therapy rooms where floor space must be conserved.
What durable materials construct the parallel bars?
The Clinton Wall Mounted Folding Parallel Bars are built using robust, professional-grade materials designed for continuous clinical use and patient stability.
- Handrails: The system uses durable, 1.5” one-piece stainless steel handrails, which are fitted with end bumpers for enhanced safety.
- Frame Structure: Stability is provided by stainless steel wall uprights and heavy-duty, square telescoping steel front legs.
This sturdy construction ensures reliability and supports a high 400 lb load capacity under normal physical therapy use conditions.
What is the folded height and ceiling clearance?
These parallel bars are designed to fold vertically against the wall, making them an excellent space-saver.You must ensure adequate vertical clearance for storage:
- Folded Height: The unit stands 94 inches (239 cm) high when fully folded.
- Minimum Ceiling Clearance: A minimum ceiling height of 8 feet (96 inches) is required to ensure proper operation of the folding mechanism.
This design minimizes the footprint, making it ideal for multi-purpose physical therapy rooms.
Do these parallel bars require assembly?
