Municipal buyers · step stools for municipal facilities
A Klimbo step stool anchors to the floor in front of a standard lavatory and lets a child aged 2 to 8 wash their hands without a lowered basin or a second fixture. The K01 suits arena and pool washrooms with heavy traffic, the K02 suits library, daycare and community centre washrooms, and the K03 needs no anchoring in a rented room or a room with no slab to drill. A municipality writes it into a specification as basis of design or approved equal, or buys it by written quote for several buildings or online for one or two units.
The access your washroom is missing. A standard lavatory rim is set for adults, out of reach for a child aged 2 to 8 without something to stand on. A step stool anchored to the floor gives that universal access without lowering the lavatory or adding a second fixture: a child pulls the tread out with a foot, steps up, washes their hands, and the tread folds back into the unit afterward. Hygiene and durability follow that access; they do not replace it.
Any municipal building where the same lavatory serves adults and children aged 2 to 8. That covers the arena washroom, the library washroom, the daycare washroom, the pool and aquatic centre, the community centre and the park pavilion.
The unit is installed at one lavatory of a row of two or more. It does not replace or lower the lavatory: it gives a child access to a fixture that is already installed, with no plumbing work and without doubling up fixtures.
The K01 suits high traffic buildings and chlorinated environments, the K02 suits community buildings with moderate traffic, and the K03 suits a rented space or a room with no slab to drill. Traffic and environment decide, not the building type.
| Building | Starting model | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Arena washroom | K01 | Sustained high traffic during sports activity hours. |
| Pool and aquatic centre | K01 | Chlorinated environment; 316 stainless hardware is available as a special order for these conditions. |
| Library washroom | K02 | Moderate traffic in a community building. |
| Daycare washroom | K02 | Moderate traffic in a room used by young children. |
| Community centre | K02 | Mixed use by different age groups within the same day. |
| Park pavilion | K02 | Moderate traffic in a community building. The removable K03 suits a room rented by the season or one with no slab to drill. |
A three part specification section, formatted as Section 10 28 13, Toilet Accessories, is written to be adapted into your project manual. For a public tender, the brand neutral version fits best: written entirely in performance terms, it names no manufacturer.
Any product that meets the section's performance requirements is acceptable. Your procurement office or engineering project lead confirms the award rules that apply to your organization.
A version naming Klimbo as the basis of design, followed by an approved equal article, is also available for a project where the product is already selected and your award rules allow it. Both versions, with data sheets and CAD and Revit files, are on the page for architects and specifiers, with no form to fill.
Through two channels, based on volume. For several buildings or a capital budget, a written quote confirms the price, shipping, taxes and the anchor detail for your order. For one or two units in an existing building, the klimbo.co online shop lets you order directly at list price: $1,879.98 CAD for the K01, $969.99 CAD for the K02 and $678.99 CAD for the K03, standard RAL 7047 Telegrey colour included; shipping and taxes are confirmed at checkout. Our page on commercial step stools shows the range.
Both channels lead to the same product and the same standard colour. 190 classic RAL colours and Axalta metallic finishes are available as a special order, at an added cost. Owner branding for the municipality is also possible.
One unit per washroom where children wash their hands, installed at one lavatory of a row of two or more. The exact count depends on the number of those washrooms in the building.
A retracted K01 stands 609.6 mm (24 in.) tall and a K02 stands 483 mm (19 in.). With the tread lowered, the K01 projects 279.4 mm (11 in.) from the counter and the K02 projects 279 mm (11 in.). Check these dimensions on the data sheet and on the drawing, not on site.
The K01 carries a warranty of five years, mechanism included. The K02 and the K03 each carry a warranty of three years. The rated load of all three models is verified by laboratory test: 370 kg (815 lb) for the K01 and K02, 410 kg (900 lb) for the K03.
The K01 is T6061 aluminum with Axalta powder coat and a recycled tire anti slip strip; its 18-8 stainless hardware upgrades to 316 stainless as a special order for a chlorinated environment. The K02 is 1018 steel with an epoxy primer and Axalta powder coat. The K03 is T6061 aluminum with a recycled rubber anti slip surface and needs no anchoring at all, since it moves from one room to another.
The list below names the building and the model installed there.
Both the K01 and K02 anchor to the floor, on a concrete slab. The K03 does not anchor at all: it is removable and moves from one room to another as needed.
List price in Canadian dollars is $1,879.98 for the K01, $969.99 for the K02 and $678.99 for the K03, standard RAL 7047 Telegrey colour included. For several units or a project, a written quote confirms the price, shipping and taxes for the order.
A brand neutral specification section exists, written entirely in performance terms with no manufacturer named. A second version names Klimbo as basis of design, followed by an approved equal article. Both are on the page for architects and specifiers, with no form to fill.
Children aged 2 to 8, the ages at which a standard lavatory stays out of reach without a step stool.
The K01 for an arena, where traffic is sustained. The K02 for a library or a daycare washroom, where traffic is moderate. The K03 when the room is rented or the slab cannot be drilled.
Five years, mechanism included, on the K01. Three years each on the K02 and the K03. The rated load of all three models is verified by laboratory test.
Directly, through the klimbo.co online shop for one or two units at list price, or through a written quote when the number of units or buildings is larger.
