Reaching Aids

Reaching Aids give you a safer way to pick up, pull closer or retrieve everyday items without bending, twisting, stretching or losing balance. They are practical Daily Living Aids for people with limited mobility, arthritis, reduced grip strength, shoulder restriction, back pain, hip or knee concerns, surgery recovery, fatigue, disability or age related changes.

For individuals with limited mobility or difficulty bending and stretching, reachers and grabbers provide a simple yet effective solution. These reaching aids help you pick up objects from the floor, reach items on high shelves, or retrieve things from hard-to-access places without straining your back or joints.

Designed for convenience and independence, reachers and grabbers are essential tools for seniors, people with disabilities, or anyone looking to make daily tasks safer and easier.

This range includes everyday reachers, lightweight grabbers, longer pick up tools, compact reachers for seated use and seatbelt reachers for easier car travel. Each option supports a different task, from collecting dropped keys to reaching a shelf, pulling clothing closer, picking up light items from the floor or fastening a seatbelt with less shoulder strain.

As a Registered NDIS Provider, BetterCareMarket supplies Independent Living Aids that support safer routines at home, in the community and while travelling. If reaching is only one part of the challenge, you might also find practical support in our Bathroom Aids, Walking Aids, Mobility Aids, Dressing Aids and Braces & Supports ranges.

 

Everyday Reachers and Pick Up Tools

Everyday reachers suit dropped items, light household objects, laundry, TV remotes, shoes, papers, rubbish, keys and objects sitting just out of reach. The Reacher Pick Up Tool adds 80cm of reach, includes an easy trigger handle and lifts light items up to 1kg. Its magnetic handle retrieves small metal items such as keys, clips or pins.

The Handi Grip Reacher suits customers who want more control when picking up objects of different shapes. It comes in 66cm and 82cm options, with a rotating head and jaw teeth for more accurate grip. Choose this group when the main goal is less bending, safer floor reach and easier access around the home.

 

Etac Aktiv Reachers

Etac Aktiv Reachers suit customers who prefer a lighter, more refined reaching aid for frequent daily use. The 45cm Etac Aktiv Reacher works well beside a bed, chair, wheelchair, car seat or kitchen bench, where a shorter reacher gives better control in smaller spaces. It weighs 111g and has a lift capacity up to 2kg.

The 90cm Etac Aktiv Reacher suits floor reach, shelf reach and tasks where extra length matters. This longer option reduces the need to bend forward or stretch overhead, which is important for people managing pain, stiffness, balance concerns or reduced movement after surgery. Choose Etac when comfort, low weight and everyday independence matter.

 

Homecraft Easireach II Reachers

The Homecraft Easireach II Reacher suits customers who want a lightweight aluminium reacher with a comfortable pistol grip and a steady jaw. The 7.5cm jaw opening gives space for common household items, while the slip resistant orange gripping surface improves visibility and hold.

The magnetic tip retrieves small metal items. The hook supports practical tasks such as pulling clothing, bags or light items closer. This makes the Easireach II a strong choice for people with hand weakness, arthritis, reduced shoulder movement or limited bending ability. It belongs in homes where one tool needs to cover several everyday tasks across the bedroom, kitchen, lounge room and laundry.

 

Seatbelt Reacher

The Pelican Seatbelt Reacher supports safer and easier car travel for people with restricted shoulder, elbow, arm or upper body movement. Instead of twisting backwards to find the seatbelt, the user pulls the belt forward with the reacher and brings it into a more comfortable position.

This is a practical travel aid for drivers and passengers who struggle with shoulder rotation, arthritis, weakness, pain, stiffness or reduced range of movement. It also suits carers who want a simple tool that supports independence during transfers and outings. Choose a seatbelt reacher when the problem is not floor reach, but the repeated strain of reaching back for a car seatbelt.

 

Long-handled Reacher 

A long-handled reacher is a handy tool designed to help individuals who have difficulty bending over or reaching high places. It is ideal for individuals with limited mobility, reduced range of movement, arthritis or back problems. The preacher has a long, adjustable handle and a grabbing mechanism at the end, which lets you pick up objects from the ground or from shelves without straining your back or over stretching.

 

How to Choose the Right Reaching Aid

Choose a shorter reacher for seated use, wheelchair use, bedside tasks, car use and tight spaces.

Choose a longer reacher for floor reach, higher shelves, laundry tasks and larger rooms.

Choose a reacher with a magnet for keys, pins, clips and other small metal items.

Choose a lightweight model for frequent use, reduced hand strength or fatigue.

Choose a seatbelt reacher when shoulder movement makes fastening a car seatbelt difficult.

Choose a reacher with a stronger jaw when the task involves gripping objects of different shapes.

 

Takeaway

The right reaching aid turns small daily frustrations into safer, easier routines. Choose the length, grip and style that matches where you use it most, then keep it close to the places where bending, stretching or twisting usually gets in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about BetterCareMarket's Reaching Aids:

A long reacher is usually the best choice for picking up items from the floor because it reduces bending and forward leaning. Options such as the Reacher Pick Up Tool, Etac Aktiv 90cm Reacher, Handi Grip Reacher and Homecraft Easireach II Reacher suit dropped household items, light rubbish, shoes, clothing, papers and small objects.
The best reacher length depends on where it will be used. A 45cm reacher suits seated use, bedside use, wheelchair use and small spaces. A 66cm or 82cm reacher suits general home use. A 90cm reacher suits taller users, floor reach and higher shelves. Many customers keep one shorter reacher near a chair and one longer reacher for larger household tasks.
Yes. Reachers are often chosen by people with arthritis because they reduce bending, stretching and gripping strain during everyday tasks. A lightweight reacher with an easy trigger, comfortable handle and steady jaw is usually the better choice when hand pain, stiffness or weakness affects daily routines.
A longer reacher is often the better option after hip or knee surgery because it reduces the need to bend towards the floor. It supports safer access to dropped items, clothing, shoes and light household objects during recovery. Always follow your surgeon, physiotherapist or occupational therapist’s advice after surgery.
Wheelchair users often prefer a shorter or mid length reacher for control in tight spaces. A 45cm reacher works well near a chair, bed, car seat or table. A longer reacher suits floor reach or shelf access. The right choice depends on arm strength, grip, storage space and the type of items being picked up.
A seatbelt reacher is used to bring a car seatbelt closer without twisting the shoulder or upper body. It suits drivers and passengers with reduced shoulder movement, arthritis, pain, weakness, stiffness or limited reach. It supports safer car routines and greater independence during daily travel.
Reaching aids suit many NDIS participants who need practical Independent Living Aids for safer daily routines. They are often considered for people with mobility limitations, disability, reduced strength, pain, fatigue or difficulty bending. Funding suitability depends on the participant’s plan, goals and the item’s relevance to daily living needs.
Reachers are made for light everyday items, not heavy, hot, sharp, fragile or unsafe objects. Avoid lifting full kettles, hot cookware, glass items, heavy boxes or anything that creates a fall or injury risk. Check the product’s lift capacity before use.
Reaching aids are mainly used to pick up, pull closer or retrieve items from the floor, shelves or hard to reach places. Dressing aids focus on getting dressed with less bending or shoulder movement, such as sock aids, long shoe horns and dressing sticks. Many customers use both types of Daily Living Aids together.
Choose Bathroom Aids when the main concern is showering, toileting, bathing or bathroom safety. Choose Walking Aids when the main concern is balance, walking distance or support while moving. Choose Reaching Aids when the main concern is access to objects without bending, stretching or twisting.
