Rollator - Bariatric

Bariatric Rollator is a heavy-duty four-wheeled walker with a reinforced frame and wider seat, designed to support patients exceeding the weight capacity of standard rollators. It provides the same balance support, braking, and rest capability as standard models in a frame built for larger patients.

Bariatric rollators are available in wider widths to accommodate broader patients and typically support 400–500 lbs. OxyCare supplies bariatric mobility aids in appropriate sizes, and rental is available.
