I have a weak grip in one hand, can I use it safely?
"Bar-type handle" recommended for those with weak grip strength
The bar-type handle is a single bar connected to both hands, allowing you to distribute and support your strength with both hands.
Even if you have a weak grip in one hand, your other hand can compensate, making braking easier and more stable.
■ Be creative with how you brake
It is easier to operate the brakes and transmit force more easily if you grip them slightly closer to the center rather than at the end of the bar.
The amount of force used when applying a hand brake varies from person to person, but some are designed to be applied with light force, so it is recommended to choose one of those types.
■ Other points to consider when choosing
Choosing a lightweight type will reduce the strain on your hands when pushing.
It is safer to consider a model with a light hand brake.
You can actually try them out in store to find the brake weight that suits you best.
■ Summary
Even if you have a weak grip, a silver cart with a bar-type handle allows you to hold it firmly with both hands, makes it easy to apply the brakes, and allows you to use it safely.
There are various grip positions and brake designs, so please choose the model that suits you.
