The Wheel Size of the Rollator Matters
Thanks to their bigger wheels the Rollator Walker manage curbs, cobblestones, gravel and uneven ground with both greater ease and higher comfort, when compared to conventional rollators with 8"/20 cm small wheels.
Conventional Rollator = Boneshaker
Conventional rollators have brakes which work directly on the tire surface, which requires solid tires that are more or less rock-hard, otherwise the brakes will wear out the tires very quickly. These rock-hard solid tires offer nothing in the way of comfort when you are walking on cobblestones, gravel and uneven ground. Many rollators users are forced to plague themselves just to get to the supermarket, and the use of a rollator frequently causes severe pain in the hands, elbows and shoulders.
The wheel size matters
The performance of a rollator or walker relies heavily on the size of the wheels. The bigger the wheel, the easier it is to pass obstacles and uneven ground, and the comfort level also increases with the wheel size. A bigger wheel simply performs better than a small wheel, especially outdoors.
Conventional rollators usually have only 8"/20 cm small wheels that hardly manage to overcome smaller thresholds.
Trionic Walker – Bigger Wheels as Standard
The Walkers have 9"/23 cm, 12"/31 cm or 14"/36 cm big front- and rear wheels as standard, all depending on the chosen model.
In comparison with conventional rollators with 8"/20 cm small wheels, thanks to their bigger wheels the Walkers manage curbs, cobblestones, gravel and uneven ground with both greater ease and higher comfort.
The Capacity of a Wheel
The maximum obstacle height that a wheel of a given size can climb when pushed, corresponds to 15% of the wheel's outer diameter. Conventional rollator usually have only 8"/20 cm small wheels that only manage 3 cm high obstacles (requires considerable force). In the right diagram you can see the maximum obstacle height that the wheel sizes 8", 12" and 14" can manage when being pushed.
