Technical data at a glance

Gas-assisted walking frame with large wheels for indoor and outdoor

The ALBE GAS-RA walking frame unites two strengths in one model: the comfortable, gas-assisted height adjustment of the GAS series and the large 200 mm wheels of the RA series for outdoor use. The height is adjusted tool-free and precisely between 93 and 138 cm – ideal for changing users. The width-adjustable arm supports (29–46 cm) provide an ergonomic position. Four large wheels with a 200 mm diameter handle uneven surfaces, thresholds and the way outdoors; two of them have hand brakes with running and parking function. Despite its sturdy build, the frame stays transportable at 20 kg and is designed for a user weight of up to 130 kg.

Key advantages

• →Gas-assisted height adjustment 93–138 cm: Precise and comfortable – effort-saving via gas spring.
• →Variable arm-support width 29–46 cm: Ergonomic adaptation to the user's shoulder width.
• →Large 200 mm wheels: Ideal for indoor and outdoor use – even on uneven surfaces.
• →Two wheels with dual-function hand brake: Running and parking brake for a secure stand.
• →Stable steel frame – rated up to 130 kg: Robust and durable in continuous use.
• →Transportable thanks to low weight (20 kg): Light enough for daily use and transport.

When is the ALBE GAS-RA the right choice?

• →Indoor and outdoor use combined: When gait training happens not only indoors but also on paths, thresholds and outdoors – the 200 mm wheels make the difference.
• →Comfortable adjustment wanted: The gas spring makes height adjustment noticeably easier than the purely manual ALBE-RA (1-2250-RA).
• →Mostly indoors? For indoor use with smaller 125 mm wheels, the ALBE GAS (1-2251) with up to 150 kg is a good fit.
• →Tight spaces? For cramped homes, the compact ALBE SMALL (1-2248) with a 60 cm frame width is the better choice.
• →User weight over 130 kg? For bariatric care, the electric ALBE EL XXL (1-2257) takes over with up to 250 kg.

Accessories (available separately)

• →Standing plate (1-2250-70): For users who need the walking frame as a standing aid or for transfer support.
• →Oxygen cylinder holder (1-2250-71): Mount for an oxygen cylinder – important for respiratory conditions.
• →Side support, pair (1-2250-72): Additional lateral stabilisation for unsteady users.
• →IV pole holder (1-2250-74): Mount for an infusion stand – standard in clinical use.
• →Widened base frame (1-2250-75): Increases the footprint – more tip stability when needed.
• →Directional-lock wheels (1-2250-78): Prevent unwanted sideways rolling – more safety during gait training.
• →One-hand brake (1-2250-79): Alternative brake operation – when one-handed handling is safer.
