Some walkers want something solid to hold. Side rails or raised handrails give a handhold when stepping on and off, while walking on an incline, or when speed changes. For walking-focused use the other points that matter are a slow starting speed, a clear display and a deck you can step onto easily. This guide compares walking treadmills with handrails on the type of rail, speed range, incline, maximum user weight and controls, using only what each listing states. None of the listings here quotes a step-up height, so check the deck height in person if that matters to you. Picks are ordered by how much support the rails give, then by how well the rest of the machine suits regular walking.

No. 3 · CURSOR FITNESS

Cursor Fitness 40% incline pad with 130 cm handrails

A steep-incline walking pad with a 40% (15°) manual gradient and 130 cm raised handrails. A 3.0 HP motor runs from 0 to 10 km/h on a 98 x 39 cm belt.

In its favour

  • A 40% (15°) gradient is far steeper than the 10 to 15% most pads offer.

  • The maker quotes under 45 dB and a 159 kg user limit in the title.

Good to know

  • The incline is manual, so the gradient cannot be changed during a session.
  • Folded, it is still 146 cm long, so it needs more storage space than a flat pad.
