Outdoor Rollator

Buy rollators for outdoor activities cheaply online

All-terrain or outdoor walkers are a particularly robust variant of walkers. Often equipped with soft or air-filled tires, they are especially suitable for use in rough terrain. The air-filled tires provide a smoother ride on uneven surfaces and make it easier to overcome obstacles such as roots or stones. Additionally, they are maneuverable, especially since many models have three instead of four wheels. This gives them a sporty and modern appearance.

"If you want, you can of course also opt for models with four wheels, which are still robust and maneuverable. Nevertheless, these rollators are made from lightweight materials and are just as comfortable and well-equipped as lightweight rollators. Of course, you don't have to undertake a hike in rocky mountains with all-terrain rollators, but you will feel safer in everyday life. If needed, you can sit on the seat of the respective rollator, carry groceries, and conveniently take a shortcut through the woods. You can find interesting facts about outdoor rollators here!"

What should an outdoor walker definitely offer?

Wheels are of fundamental importance in rollators. They should not be too small for use on rough and uneven surfaces, so that pushing does not become too difficult. Wheels starting from a size of 250 mm, which corresponds to 12 inches, are preferred. At Gorilla Gesund, we also offer rollators with 14-inch tires, which allow for even more comfortable walking. This is significantly more than the standard indoor rollators.

The tires should not be too narrow and should be suitable for the purpose. So if you are often in the woods or on grass, a suitable tread is also advantageous. Both solid rubber tires and air tires are suitable for the models.

In addition to the wheels, the handles must also withstand greater loads when used in rough terrain. An ergonomic shape is just as important as the operability and function of the brakes. These play a significant role in an outdoor walker, unlike indoor walkers. On sloping terrain, the brakes must grip well and be reliable.

Tires for the outdoor walker - comfort and safety outdoors

The all-terrain outdoor walker is particularly characterized by its larger tires compared to other walkers. Whether with four large air-filled wheels or walking aids equipped with a soft PUR soft tire, with or without tread, they all provide the right running comfort for safe and relaxed movement. Larger wheels overcome unevenness more easily due to their size, resulting in a pleasant driving comfort.

"Whether in the city on uneven sidewalks, cobblestones, or in the park, small stones or uneven slabs are immediately felt in the wrists and shoulders by conventional, hard-tired walkers. Choosing an all-terrain outdoor walker with larger tires, especially with softer or air-filled wheels, relieves the joints and makes walking a pleasant experience."

Puncture safety is another feature of outdoor rollators with puncture-proof PUR soft tires. These rollators typically have 11-inch front wheels that can easily roll over small stones or sticks. The PUR soft tires give up to 8 mm, which reduces the pressure when overcoming obstacles. Such rollators are suitable for both urban use and for moving on uneven sidewalks, cobblestones, or unpaved paths in the park.

An example of an outdoor rollator with puncture-proof tires is the Topro Olympos ATR from Norway. With a frame width of 49 cm, it offers ample space for relaxation between the frame tubes. For slim users, the puncture-proof Topro Olympos ATR Slim with a 44 cm distance is a comfortable choice. Other models such as the Gemino 60 from Sunrise Medical, the Crossover Alu Rollator from Saljol, or the Rehasense XL Outdoor Rollator Explorer for heavy or very tall individuals also feature large wheels with soft, safe tires.

Air-filled outdoor walkers typically feature 12-inch large and wide wheels. The Swedish Trionic Walker is an example of an all-terrain outdoor walker, available with either 12-inch or 14-inch air-filled wheels. Larger and wider air-filled wheels make it easier to navigate different surfaces, such as meadows or forest paths. This type of walker adds extra enjoyment while outdoors. Examples include the Dietz Taima XC walker and the Trendmobil outdoor walker Silva with wide air-filled tires.

It is important to note that air-filled tires are not puncture-proof. In case of limited physical mobility or lack of strength, it is recommended to choose a puncture-proof walker to avoid possible inconveniences.

Due to the larger and softer tires, outdoor rollators are generally somewhat heavier than normal lightweight rollators. Therefore, when making a decision, it should be considered whether the rollator needs to be frequently lifted and stored. Some models allow for easy lifting with the help of a tilting aid, while others can be folded lengthwise and still used as a pushable walking aid. Long-folding rollators, such as the Topro Olympos ATR, typically feature a high-load capacity seat net that is attached to stable mounting rods, thus allowing for easy one-handed lifting.

"On trips off the beaten path, whether in the woods, in the park, or on cobblestones, the stable frame with cross brace offers safety and relaxation. Rollators made of carbon or aluminum are particularly suitable for outdoor excursions, as they are lightweight and rust-free. Robust materials ensure flexibility and allow for versatile use in outdoor areas."

Most robust outdoor rollators can support up to 150 kg and have a wider seat compared to regular lightweight rollators. A wider seat provides more comfort for breaks while walking outdoors. For additional safety when sitting down, an outdoor rollator with a back strap can be considered. Models like the Rehasense XL Outdoor Rollator Explorer are specifically designed for higher loads and taller individuals, offering large, soft wheels and a maximum handle height of 1.12 m.

When choosing an outdoor walker, it is important to consider the adjustable handle height and the existing seat height. Some manufacturers offer walkers in different seat heights to meet various needs. For short or very tall individuals, this can be significant when selecting the right model.

All-terrain outdoor walkers are an ideal choice for those who enjoy venturing off the beaten path. With the right tires and a sturdy frame, they provide not only safety but also flexibility and comfort during walks in nature.
