Rollator by brand

Buy rollators cheaply online by brand

If you are planning to buy a rollator for the first time and want to order it online, you are often faced with a huge selection of many models and many brands that at first glance hardly differ from each other. In order to find the most suitable model from this offer, some considerations are required.

Which rollator brand should I choose?

There are an incredible number of 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 which has the top qualities and the best customer services.

Where do I want to use the rollator?

First of all, the intended use should always be considered. The most common case is probably indoor and outdoor use. Most rollators are suitable for both areas of use and are designed accordingly in terms of wheel size and overall width. If the rollator is used exclusively in the apartment, the overall width is particularly important. Often there are narrow-width doors or passageways that it needs to be pushed through without damaging the wall or door frame. Therefore, indoor rollators are always kept very narrow. In this case, there is no need for a seat as there are enough seating options in the apartment. The lack of a seat also eliminates the need for different seat heights. With indoor rollators, however, more attention is paid to a large tray, as many things often have to be transported around the home. So that the rollator can be pushed and steered safely with one hand, all models for living areas have a continuous push bar. The overall width plays only a minor role for rollators that are used exclusively outdoors. The wheels are much more important. They should be as soft as possible to comfortably cushion driving on poor and uneven surfaces. Alternatively, a spring-loaded frame is also possible, which fulfills the same function here. Pneumatic tires are not recommended due to their immobility in the event of a puncture. Large front wheels help the user to overcome obstacles such as branches, stones and even curbs more easily. Since outdoor paths tend to be longer, a wide and comfortable seat is important. If necessary, this can be supplemented with a back strap. If the future area of ​​application of the rollator is clear, you can make the appropriate selection in the product filter on the left and hide products that do not fit.

How much should the rollator weigh?

After determining the area of ​​use, the next consideration is the overall weight. Whenever the rollator has to be lifted, its weight is particularly noticeable. The standard rollators available at the checkout weigh 10-12 kg, which is a considerable weight. Loading the rollator into the trunk can be a problem. Lightweight rollators weighing 5-8 kg can help. They are usually made of aluminum and are therefore not only significantly lighter, but also protected against corrosion.

Does the rollator fit my height?

Numerous models are offered in different sizes. There are 2 specifications to consider when choosing the right model. 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 they are standing upright. The handles of the selected model should be able to be adjusted to this value. The second criterion to consider is the height of the seat. It should suit the user's height, because a seat height that is too high makes sitting uncomfortable, while a seat height that is too low makes it unnecessarily difficult to get up from the rollator. Up to a height of approx. 165 cm, we recommend a seat height between 50 and 56 cm. For taller people, the seat height can be 57 to 62 cm.

Do I have to pay attention to the maximum load capacity of the rollator?

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

Can the rollator not exceed a certain width?

The overall width plays an important role, especially if your rollator is used indoors. With a total width of approx. 55 cm, indoor rollators are particularly suitable for narrow door openings. Please keep in mind that an additional 2 to 3 cm of space is required on each side to easily pass through such narrow spaces.
