The SuperPole with SuperBar: Top 10 Features of this Floor-to-Ceiling Pole
When it comes to improving safety, confidence, and independence at home, having support exactly where and how you need it makes all the difference. The SuperPole with SuperBar is a thoughtfully engineered, floor-to-ceiling support solution designed to assist with sit-to-stand transitions, standing tasks, and safe transfers without permanent installation or wall mounting. Trusted by occupational therapists and healthcare professionals for decades, it combines strength, adjustability, and intuitive design to support natural movement while reducing fall risk. We break down the top 10 features that set the SuperPole with SuperBar apart as one of the most reliable and versatile support poles available today.
Support Exactly Where You Need It
The SuperPole installs exactly where support is needed in any room. It provides ultimate flexibility in placement because no wall is needed. It is a secure tension fit between floor and ceiling and no drilling is required. Whether beside a bed, tub, or favorite living room chair, it puts a grab bar exactly where you need it and maximizes independence.
Two-Hands of Support
Two widely spaced points of contact create a broad base of stability to improve balance, postural symmetry, and provide control during transfers. Every part of the SuperPole and SuperBar is designed for secure gripping, without encountering jack screws, moving sleeves, or obstructions wherever you place your hands.  The SuperBar can be set to the exact height to perfectly match your needs.
Support Positioned in Front
The SuperPole intentionally provides support in front of the body—where it’s needed most—to encourage natural movement patterns during sit-to-stand transitions. Because standing requires a forward weight shift, any support placed behind the body must be abandoned as you rise, eliminating continuous contact when balance is most vulnerable. Front-facing support allows for continuous contact, enhancing stable movement, and reducing fall risk.
Mid-Body Support
More than a handhold, the SuperBar can offer mid-body support in standing.  The 16” wide bar becomes a steady assistant, supporting the entire width of the pelvis for balance and real-life function in standing. The height of the SuperBar can be customized to align with your specific waist height, allowing you to lean with confidence.
Mid-body support frees your hands for the tasks that naturally require two—buttoning pants, fastening a belt, washing hands, brushing teeth, or reaching into a closet or drawer. The Pivot Bar supports the body, so that the hands are free to function.
Support that Moves to the Right Position and Locks
The patented Pivot and Lock Technology of HealthCraft’s SuperPole with SuperBar has been trusted for over 30 years by occupational therapists and healthcare professionals. The same trusted technology is built into the uPole with Pivot Bar, the wall-mounted Dependa-Bar, and the floor-mounted Advantage Rail.
The pivoting support bar locks every 45° to provide strong fixed support through every step of a transfer. Especially when moving from one surface to another, the bar provides consistent and safe support at multiple angles for confident movement.
Effortless Pivoting Bar
Whether you’re living with arthritis, post-stroke weakness, or general fatigue, the SuperBar pivots easily without needing finger dexterity or grip strength. Just lift and move with a finger, forearm, or light touch of one hand- no buttons, levers or gripping required.
While pivoting the bar with one hand, you stay supported thanks to the sturdy vertical pole that offers continuous stable contact for the other hand or the body.  More stability, at all times, even when pivoting the bar.
Better Grasp, Better Control
The power grip  of the human hand  (thumb + fingers wrapping) is strongest around round bars 1.25” – 2.0” in diameter. The SuperPole and the SuperBar are both 1.5” in diameter.  The round profile distributes pressure more evenly across the hand and joints, enhancing grip comfort while minimizing joint fatigue and the risk of your hand slipping.
The SuperPole’s latex-fee, closed cell foam grip is a high-quality feature.  It is gentle on painful joints and offers better grasp and better control, even with reduced hand strength.   The foam also provides an amazing non-slip surface when leaning the body against the pole or bar for support.
Engineered for Stability
The SuperPole is one of the sturdiest poles on the market.  With its one-piece construction for 8 foot ceilings, it is a single, alloy steel pole, with a few inches of adjustability built into the jack screw at the bottom of the pole.  It has a user weight capacity of 300lbs and the Heavy Duty model is 450 lbs).   The SuperPole is reliable and rock solid when you need it.
Reduces Strain on Caregivers
Back and shoulder injuries are a leading cause of caregiver strain during transfers and mobility assistance. A stable support like the SuperPole, allows individuals to participate more actively in repositioning, standing, and transfers, reducing the need for hands-on physical support from caregivers. This decreases the biomechanical demands placed on caregivers and helps lower the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
What sets the SuperPole with SuperBar apart as a trusted support solution?

- All SuperPoles come standard with an anti-microbial powder coat paint. This paint actively kill 99.9% of the bacteria and viruses within 2 hours of exposure to the surface and then inhibits the ability of microorganisms to grow and spread for up to six years.
- The height of the SuperBar can be set anywhere along the vertical pole typically between 24”-38” to meet the unique needs of any client.
