Bariatric Aluminum Two-Button Folding Walker with Wheels
Drive Medicalâ„¢ Bariatric Folding Walker with 5-Inch Wheels
Heavy-Duty 500 lb Weight Capacity, Reinforced Steel Legs & Side Braces, Expanded 27-Inch Wide Frame, 5-Inch Front Glide Wheels, and Dual Push-Button Folding
Finding a reliable mobility walker that offers extra spatial clearance without sacrificing stability is essential for bariatric users. Standard medical walkers can feel restrictive across the hips and lack the structural reinforcement required for heavy weight bearing. The Drive Medicalâ„¢ Bariatric Folding Walker with 5-Inch Wheels is specifically engineered with an expanded, deeper frame and steel reinforcements to deliver uncompromised security.
Combining lightweight aluminum upper tubing with heavy-duty reinforced steel legs and side cross-braces, this walker supports up to 500 lbs with wheels installed (and up to 600 lbs in a rigid wheel-less configuration). Its generous 27-inch overall width gives users extra walking room and comfortable hip clearance. Equipped with smooth-rolling 5-inch front wheels, non-slip vinyl contoured hand grips, and an easy-turn push-button release that operates independently on each side, this bariatric walker ensures safe, confident mobility indoors and out.
Key Performance Features & Benefits
- 500 lb Weight Capacity (w/ Wheels): Reinforced steel legs and heavy-duty side braces ensure maximum structural stability for bariatric support.

- Easy Two-Button Folding Mechanism: Operated effortlessly using fingers, palms, or the side of the hand—ideal for users with reduced grip dexterity.
- Independent Dual-Side Operation: Each side folds separately to allow smooth navigation through narrow doorways, hallways, and tight bathroom quarters.
- 5-Inch Glide Wheels: Front wheels glide smoothly over carpets, hardwood flooring, sidewalks, and outdoor threshold transitions.
- Vinyl-Contoured Ergonomic Grips: Textured vinyl hand grips provide a firm, non-slip hold that minimizes palm pressure and hand fatigue.

Mobility Specialist Insight: The 27-inch total frame width provides essential lateral clearance, making standing up and sitting down much more comfortable for bariatric users. Despite its heavy-duty steel leg reinforcement, the frame weighs only 11 lbs—allowing caregivers or users to lift and fold it into a car trunk with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the weight limit difference with and without the 5-inch wheels?
A: When configured with the included 5-inch wheels, the walker is rated for a 500 lb capacity. If converted to a stationary, non-wheeled walker with standard rubber tips, the reinforced frame supports up to 600 lbs.
Q: How do I adjust the handle height on this bariatric walker?
A: Each leg features a push-button telescoping mechanism. Depress the brass pin on each leg tube and slide up or down to set the handles between 32" and 39" height.
Q: Will this 27-inch wide walker fit through standard household doorways?
A: Most interior home doorways measure 28 to 30 inches wide, so the 27-inch frame passes through easily. For narrower bathroom doors, you can push one side button to angle one leg inward temporarily while walking through.
