Rollator by brands

Buy rollators by brand cheaply online

"If you are planning to purchase a walker for the first time and want to order it online, you often face a huge selection with many models and brands that hardly differ from each other at first glance. To find the most suitable model from this selection, some considerations are necessary."

Which walker brand should I choose?

There are incredibly many rollator brands on the market. It's no wonder, but many of them are produced in China and imported to Germany. And they have different brands and names on them. Therefore, it is very difficult for customers to choose the right brand. We offer here the top selected brands of rollators that have the top qualities and the best customer services.

Where would I like to use the walker?

First, the intended use should always be considered. The most common case is likely to be use in both indoor and outdoor areas. Most walkers are suitable for both applications and are designed accordingly in terms of wheel size and overall width. If the walker is used exclusively indoors, the overall width is particularly important. There are often doors or passages with narrow widths through which it must be pushed without damaging the wall or door frame. Therefore, indoor walkers are always kept very narrow. In this case, a seat can be omitted, as there are sufficient seating options available in the home. The absence of a seat also eliminates the need for different seat heights. Indoor walkers, on the other hand, focus more on having a large tray, as many items often need to be transported within the home. To ensure that the walker can be safely pushed and steered with one hand, all models for indoor use have a continuous push handle. The overall width is of little importance for walkers that are used exclusively outdoors. Much more crucial are the wheels. They should be as soft as possible to comfortably absorb bumps on poor and uneven surfaces. Alternatively, a spring-loaded frame is also possible, which serves the same function here. Air-filled tires are not recommended due to their immobility in the event of a flat tire. Large front wheels help the user to overcome obstacles such as branches, stones, and curbs more easily. Since outdoor paths are generally longer, a wide and comfortable seat is important. This can be supplemented with a back strap if necessary. Once the future area of use for the walker is determined, you can make the appropriate selection in the product filter on the left and hide unsuitable products.

How much should the walker weigh?

After determining the area of use, the next consideration is the overall weight. Whenever the walker needs to be lifted, its weight becomes particularly noticeable. The standard walkers available at the checkout weigh 10-12 kg, which is a considerable weight. Loading the walker into the trunk can become a problem. Lightweight walkers weighing 5-8 kg provide a solution. They are usually made of aluminum, making them not only significantly lighter but also protected against corrosion.

Does the walker fit my height?

Numerous models are offered in various sizes. When selecting the right model, there are 2 specifications to consider. First of all, the height of the handles is important. To do this, measure the distance between the floor and the user's wrist when standing upright. The handles of the selected model should be adjustable to this value. The second criterion to consider is the height of the seat. It should match the user's height, as a seat height that is too high makes sitting uncomfortable, while a seat height that is too low unnecessarily complicates getting up from the walker. For a height of up to about 165 cm, we recommend a seat height between 50 and 56 cm. For taller individuals, the seat height can be between 57 and 62 cm.

Do I need to pay attention to the maximum load capacity of the walker?

Strong users should take a look at the maximum load capacity of the walker. This is always specified in the technical data. The weight of the user including clothing and luggage must not exceed this value, as otherwise the necessary safety cannot be guaranteed.

"Should the rollator not exceed a certain width?"

"Especially when your walker is used indoors, the overall width plays an important role. Indoor walkers are particularly suitable for narrow door openings with an overall width of about 55 cm. Please keep in mind that an additional 2 to 3 cm of space is needed on each side to pass through such tight spots without any issues."
