Bariatric Aluminum Folding Walker - Two Button
Drive Medicalâ„¢ Bariatric Heavy-Duty Folding Walker (600 lb Capacity)
600 lb Heavy-Duty Weight Capacity, Reinforced Steel Legs & Side Braces, Wider & Deeper Frame Geometry, Independent Dual-Button Folding, and Ultra-Lightweight 9 lb Build
Providing exceptional stability for bariatric mobility requirements without imposing excessive frame weight is vital for safe daily independence. Traditional standard walkers can feel narrow across the hips and lack the structural reinforcement required for heavy weight bearing, while heavy bariatric units can be exhausting to lift. The Drive Medicalâ„¢ Bariatric Heavy-Duty Folding Walker is purpose-engineered to bridge strength and portability effortlessly.
Constructed from anodized aluminum upper tubing paired with heavy-duty steel leg extensions and side cross-braces, this walker supports up to 600 lbs while weighing only 9 lbs. Its expanded, deeper frame offers comfortable hip clearance for larger individuals. Featuring dual push-button mechanisms that operate independently on each side—easily activated by fingers, palms, or hand sides—and non-slip vinyl contoured handgrips, this walker ensures smooth passage through narrow hallways and secure standing support.
