Upright Rollator with Armrest Support — Deluxe Folding Walker, 135kg (EMPOWER)

Description

Upright Rollator with Armrest Support — Deluxe Folding Walker, 135kg (EMPOWER)

The EMPOWER upright rollator is a four-wheel folding walker with padded forearm supports, designed to help you walk taller and more comfortably. Instead of leaning forward onto handgrips, you rest your forearms on the supports and stay in a more upright, natural posture — which can ease strain on the wrists, back and shoulders. With a sturdy 135kg capacity, a seat, brakes and storage, it’s a supportive everyday choice for indoors and out.

Often searched as an upright rollator, upright walker, forearm walker or stand-up rollator, it suits people who find a standard rollator has them hunching forward.

Why Choose an Upright Rollator?

A traditional rollator has you gripping handles lower down, which can encourage a forward-leaning posture over time. An upright rollator raises the support to forearm height, so you stand taller and more comfortably as you walk. Many people find this eases pressure on the wrists and lower back, improves their line of sight, and feels more natural — especially for longer walks or for those with hand, wrist or grip difficulties.

Comfortable, Stable and Easy to Fold

The lightweight aluminium frame (6063-T5) keeps the EMPOWER easy to manoeuvre, with a small turning circle and low rolling resistance. Smooth TPE wheels give a comfortable, puncture-free ride, and the graduated, numbered height adjustment makes it simple to set the forearm supports and backrest to the right height. When you’re done, it folds from the side and locks folded, so it’s easy to lift into the car and takes up little storage space.

Who It’s For

The EMPOWER suits people who can walk but want more support and a more upright posture than a standard rollator provides — including those with back or shoulder strain, weaker grip, or a tendency to hunch forward over a normal walker. If you’re unsure whether an upright rollator suits your needs, our team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an upright rollator?

An upright rollator is a four-wheel walker with padded forearm supports, so you rest your forearms and walk in a more upright posture rather than leaning forward onto handgrips. This can ease strain on the wrists, back and shoulders.

Who is an upright walker best for?

It suits people who can walk but want more support and a more upright posture — often those with back or shoulder strain, weaker grip, or who find they hunch over a standard rollator. It’s also popular for longer walks where comfort matters.

How much weight does it support?

The EMPOWER has a 135kg maximum user weight, with a sturdy aluminium frame.

Does it fold for the car?

Yes. It folds from the side and locks folded, making it easy to lift into the car and store — while weighing just 7.6kg.

How is it different from a standard rollator?

A standard rollator has lower handgrips you lean forward onto; an upright rollator raises the support to forearm height so you stand taller. Compare both in our rollators range, or see our lightweight wide-seat rollator for a traditional style.

Does it come with a warranty and NZ delivery?

Yes. It ships New Zealand-wide with free delivery and a 12-month manufacturer warranty, with remote phone and email support.
