Technical data at a glance

Precise and fast height adjustment thanks to a gas spring

The ALBE GAS walking frame impresses with its comfortable, tool-free gas-spring height adjustment from 83 to 131 cm – ideal for changing user heights or different use situations. The arm-support width is flexibly adjustable between 29 and 46 cm, and the ergonomically shaped handgrips add extra comfort. With a stable steel frame and four smooth-running 125 mm castors – two of them with a double foot brake – the frame is robust and safe. It is rated up to 150 kg and weighs only approx. 17 kg. This makes it particularly suitable for rehabilitation after operations, for people with reduced mobility or balance disorders, and for medical gait training in clinics, care facilities and the home environment.

When is the ALBE GAS the right choice?

• →Mostly outdoors? For uneven paths and outdoor use, the ALBE GAS-RA (1-2251-RA) offers large 200 mm wheels.
• →Tight spaces? For cramped homes, the compact ALBE SMALL (1-2248) with a 60 cm frame width is the better choice.
• →User weight over 150 kg? For bariatric care, the electric ALBE EL XXL (1-2257) takes over with up to 250 kg.
