Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a walker and a rollator?
A standard walker has no wheels or two front wheels and is lifted or slid forward. A rollator has three or four wheels, hand brakes and often a seat, so it rolls with the user. Compare the handle height range and weight capacity on each listing.
Should I choose a transport chair or a manual wheelchair?
A transport chair has small rear wheels and is pushed by a companion. A manual wheelchair has large rear wheels with pushrims so the user can move it on their own. Transport chairs are usually lighter to lift into a car.
What should I compare when buying a mobility scooter?
Compare the weight capacity, range per charge and whether the scooter comes apart for travel on each listing. Call us if you would like help narrowing down a model.
Is shipping free on mobility equipment?
