Is Home Run's handrail easy to lift?

Yes, it is! The handrail is hydraulic, so all you need is a little pull and the handrail opens automatically. Remember, if you have the Home Run,  to unlock the locks from both sides of the handle before moving it, and then secure your handle by locking it again (in locked mode, the red locks will point towards the rear part of the Home Run and towards the front when unlocked).
