Overview
11.5 lbs. of carbon fiber that still holds 330 lbs.

A carbon fiber rollator that weighs 11.5 lbs. and holds 330 lbs. The frame is welded nowhere, which takes out the usual fracture points, and the brake cables run inside the frame so nothing snags. 9.5" front wheels, a 17.5" seat and a handle height that adjusts from 31.7" to 37.6".

Built for real life

What stands out

●
11.5 lbs. and it still takes 330 lbs.
Carbon fiber gives you a frame light enough to lift into a car boot one-handed while still rated for a 330 lbs. user.
●
A weld-free frame
There are no welds, which takes out the joints that crack first on an aluminium rollator. It also means fewer parts to replace later.
●
9.5" front wheels
Larger front wheels ride over door thresholds, pavement joints and grass instead of stopping at them. The rear wheels are 8".
●
Brake cables inside the frame
The cables run enclosed, so nothing catches on a door handle, a coat or a shopping bag.
●
Handles from 31.7" to 37.6"
Set the handle height so your elbows sit at a slight bend with your shoulders relaxed. The range covers most adults standing upright.
●
A 17.5" seat with a backrest
The seat is 17.5" wide and sits 23" from the floor, with a contoured backrest behind it for when you stop to rest.
The Hieline Take

Carbon fiber buys two things here and it is worth knowing which one you are paying for. The obvious one is 11.5 lbs., light enough that lifting it into a boot stops being the reason a rollator ends up in the hallway unused. The less obvious one is the weld-free frame, because welds are where aluminium rollators crack after a few years of kerbs and car boots, and there are none in this frame to crack. The 9.5" front wheels are the other deciding feature: a rollator that stops dead at a door threshold gets abandoned, and these climb them. What you give up is width, since the seat is 17.5" and there is no wider version, and the seat is a rest seat at 9" deep rather than something to sit in for long. Set the handles so your wrists sit at handle height with your shoulders down, and check that range before you order.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • lift a rollator in and out of a car and want to carry 11.5 lbs.
  • weigh up to 330 lbs.
  • walk outdoors over thresholds, grass and rough pavement
  • want the handle height set between 31.7" and 37.6"

Look elsewhere if you

  • need a seat wider than 17.5"
  • weigh more than 330 lbs.
  • need a handle lower than 31.7" or higher than 37.6"
  • want a rollator you can sit in while somebody pushes you, because this is a walker with a rest seat
