Description
The Drive RTL12068 is a portable bath step that sits on the floor beside the tub. One step is 4 in (10.2 cm) high, 19.5 in (49.5 cm) wide and 16 in (40.6 cm) deep, and it is rated 450 lb (204 kg).
What does it do and how does it work?
- Height: 4 in (10.2 cm) for one step; each added step raises it by 2 in (5.1 cm).
- Top: textured and slip resistant, with four removable covers and built-in non-slip pads.
- Base: sits flat on the floor; it is not screwed down and has no suction cups.
- Colour: a white body with a blue top.
- Capacity: 450 lb (204 kg).
- Pack: one step per retail box.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits someone who can climb into the tub but finds the floor one step too far.
- It is a step, not a seat; choose a transfer bench if the person needs to sit and slide.
- Choose tub rails for a handhold on the rim, or a bath bench for a seat inside the tub.
Will it fit?
- The step is 19.5 by 16 in (49.5 by 40.6 cm); check the floor space beside the tub.
- It needs a flat surface; it does not adjust to a slope.
- One step raises the foot by 4 in (10.2 cm), and each extra step adds 2 in (5.1 cm).
- A free home assessment can see whether a step is enough.
Using it day to day
- Set the step on a flat floor beside the tub.
- To stack a second step, pop the four white covers with a coin and store them, line up the prongs and press the next step on.
- Leave the covers on when a single step is used.
- Do not sit on the step; it is made for standing.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It carries 450 lb (204 kg).
- It is not fixed to the floor and has no suction cups, so it can move if kicked.
- One-year limited warranty; see the Warranty tab.
- Bathroom safety items are non-returnable once used, so measure first.
How does it compare?
- The Mobb MHSBS is another stackable 4 in step.
- The PCP 7100 adjusts in height rather than stacking.
- The AquaSense 770-406 is a bench for sitting across the tub wall.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone sit on it to rest?
No. It is a step; use a bath chair or transfer bench for sitting.
Is a second step in the box?
No. The box holds one step; the four covers are the stacking fittings for a second step sold separately.
Does it stick to the floor?
No. The pads are built into the base, and nothing screws or suctions it down.
