Stable walking frame with gas-assisted height adjustment

The ALBE HR walking frame is a versatile walker for people with reduced mobility. The gas-assisted height adjustment allows quick and precise adaptation in the range of 83 to 131 cm, so the frame can be set up optimally for different user heights. The arm supports are width-adjustable between 29 and 46 cm; the ergonomic handgrips provide extra comfort and secure guidance. With four agile castors (Ø 125 mm) – two of them with a double foot brake (running and parking function) – the frame offers high safety and good manoeuvrability in everyday life and rehabilitation. The stable, powder-coated steel frame is rated up to 150 kg and, with a frame outer width of 76 cm, an overall length of 85 cm and approx. 17 kg, is robust yet light enough for daily use.

When is the ALBE HR the right choice?

• →Gas-spring comfort with an ergonomic grip: When, in addition to effort-saving height adjustment, special grip comfort is required.
• →Gas spring without special comfort grip? The ALBE GAS (1-2251) offers the same gas-assisted adjustment as the standard variant.
• →Is manual adjustment enough? The base model ALBE STANDARD (1-2250) is the more economical option with manual height adjustment.
• →Outdoor use or tight spaces? For uneven paths the ALBE GAS-RA (1-2251-RA) offers 200 mm wheels, and for cramped homes the compact ALBE SMALL (1-2248).
• →User weight over 150 kg? For bariatric care, the electric ALBE EL XXL (1-2257) takes over with up to 250 kg.

Accessories (available separately)

• →Standing plate (1-2270): For users who need the walking frame as a standing aid or for transfer support.
