Zimmer Walking Frames

Choosing the Right Zimmer Walking Frame for Your Needs

Finding the perfect balance between support and portability is key to maintaining an active lifestyle. Our collection features specialised designs tailored to the unique requirements of the Australian elderly and carer community.

Lightweight Aluminium Construction

Most of our frames are crafted from high-grade, reinforced aluminium. This ensures the walker is easy to lift and manoeuvre while remaining strong enough to support daily weight-bearing needs without flex or instability.

Key Features of Our Walking Frames

• Height Adjustable Legs: Easy-to-use push-pin mechanisms to ensure correct ergonomic posture.
• Non-Slip Rubber Ferrules: High-grip tips provide traction on tiles, timber, and outdoor surfaces.
• Contoured Hand Grips: Designed to reduce pressure on arthritic joints and improve user comfort.
• Folding Mechanisms: Simple one-button or two-button folding for easy transport in a car boot.

Specialised Designs for Every Environment

Standard frames are excellent for general stability, but specific environments often require a more tailored approach to ensure safety and prevent falls.

Narrow Frames for Indoor Use

If you live in a home with tight hallways or smaller doorways, our narrow Zimmer frames offer the same high level of support with a slimline profile to prevent bumping into furniture.

Wheeled vs. Non-Wheeled Options

Choose a frame with front wheels to facilitate a smoother, more fluid walking pattern, or opt for a traditional four-leg frame if you require maximum weight-bearing stability and a slower, more deliberate pace.
