Understanding Different Types Of Walking Aids

When it comes to finding walking aids that are just right for you, such as rollators and tri-walkers, it can be confusing sometimes. When you first start looking, you’ll probably be surprised by just how many different types of walking aids there are available.

That’s why we wanted to help you understand the different types of walking aids and to highlight some of the more “high end” or “designer” rollators available today. Once you have gotten your head around these different models we think you may find it far easier to choose the one you need instead of having to settle for something hospital or institutional looking and these rollators are manufactured to the highest standards to give miles of trouble-free service.

Topro Rollz Motion Rollator

One of the more unique and interesting variations would be the Rollz Motion Rollator. Easy to push and light to steer, this rollator is extremely manoeuvrable. It also has foam covered push handles with height adjustability for extra comfort and, for those longer journeys, it even converts into a wheelchair. This means that you can use the Rollz Motion Rollator in almost any situation.

We think it’s especially useful for holidays or any of your future travelling plans. Combine your Rollator and transit-style wheelchair into one item to either pack or store in your room or Cruise ship cabin, with the bonus of being easy to fold and transport in a car, bus or taxi. Available in a range of stunning new colours.

Flexel Mobilex Gepard

A lot of rollators can be rather heavy to lift with their metal frames they also feel cumbersome and hard to push. However, the Mobilex Gepard is designed to make movement far easier. The frame is made from carbon fibre and aluminium, making it incredibly lightweight and stable. Numerically numbered height adjustable push handles make it easy to adjust with a recommended user height of between 150cm to 200cm or (4ft 9” to 6ft 4”). This rollator comes standard with a padded backrest and detachable shopping bag.

In fact, it weighs a staggeringly low 5.3kgs, with a maximum user weight of 150kgs or 23stone. Making the Mobilex Gepard superbly lightweight, extremely strong and perfect for trips to the shops.

Electric Mobility TAiMA XC Rollator

Do you enjoy walking through the woods? Or perhaps you like long walks with the dogs. No matter where you want to go to, the TAiMA XC Rollator will be able to handle it. Designed to be able to cover almost any terrain, this walking aid is the “all-terrain vehicle” of the rollator world.

Topro Rollz Flex Rollator

Are you a lover of practicality and design being mixed beautifully? If so, then the Rollz Flex Rollator might be the perfect walking aid for you. The Rolls Flex is built with ergonomic design at the forefront of the manufacturer’s mind.

You also get to choose either a purple or denim colour for the shopping bag. The simple folding mechanism allows the Rollz Flex to be packed away neatly for storage or to fit in the boot of a car for those shopping centre trips and days out.

  • First class service items lived up to expectations

  • Ordered a folding shower seat with 2 grab bars in the morning and these were delivered to me in the afternoon of the same day - that is what I call service. However the following day a further 2 Grab Bars were delivered and the co said that they would collect these the same day - still waiting after 1 week and another call - not so good and still waiting. A point that the co should consider is that we are finding it difficult to get someone to fit the shower seat and they are unable to provide any guidance or help. would suggest that they collect names and telephone numbers of local tradesmen who are trusted to fit their mobility equipment and provide guidance on fitting

  • Called into the shop for a shower chair for an elderly relative. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They didn't have the one I needed so I was offered the option of ordering in store or online. I ordered on line and the chair was delivered 2 days later. Fabulous service.I would recommend the Mobility Aids Centre. Thank you!

  • Fantastic service, I order a Bathmaster Deltis bath chair lift on the 18/08/2015 and using the standard delivery system it was delivered to my house the following day. The chair works very well, it comes packed in the manufactures original box, battery ready charged for instantaneous use and at a very competitive price. Very good performance all round.

  • I was looking for a buggy for adults and the one I purchased named Troy. was excellent, I can put it up & down in seconds. The wheels are superbly easy to turn with. My husband says it is very comfortable and the black leather with red piping is very smart. When folded up there is a padded grip in the middle of the frame, which is perfectly balanced to lift it in and out of cars etc. a wonderfully strong but light wheelchair.
