Rollators and Walkers

More Info

Looking for a rolling walker? You can choose between three styles: lightweight, standard, and bariatric. The best rollator for your situation depends on the user's weight and how lightweight you need the rollator to be.

For a lightweight, easy-to-move walker, look for a lightweight portable rolling walker with an aluminum frame. Aluminum is strong and durable for long life and solid construction. For an even lighter frame, look for a rollator with three wheels, which is lighter than a four wheel rolling walker. Individuals with weak arms or fragile health will find it easier to move a lightweight rollator than a standard or bariatric walker, and caregivers will find it easier to lift into the trunk or back seat of a vehicle. A lightweight rollator with three wheels can weigh as little as nine pounds.

The standard rolling walker weighs under 20 pounds and folds easily for storage and transport. For more comfort and versatility, look for an aluminum or steel rolling walker with a seat. The seat and backrest provide a comfortable resting place whenever you need to stop. A storage bag or basket also comes in handy for storing personal items and keeping your hands free.

For users who exceed the weight limit for lightweight and standard walkers, a bariatric rolling walker is the answer. Most bariatric rollators can support up to 500 pounds. The heavy duty frame and wheels are reinforced for long life and durability. Along with the higher weight capacity, bariatric rolling walkers also weigh more than a lightweight or standard walker and require more strength to push.
