Rollators that master any terrain
True outdoor or all-terrain rollators are distinguished not only by their robustness but also by their treaded tyres. Larger front wheels are also helpful here. Puncture-proof and shock-absorbing tyres cushion impacts and allow the rollator to be used smoothly even on dirt tracks and across grassy areas.
Features of outdoor rollators
All-terrain tyres and shock-absorbing handles
A rollator has to cope with many different types of surface – whether on walks through the woods or a leisurely stroll past shop windows in the old town.
With an outdoor rollator, you are well equipped for any terrain. Thanks to the special tyres, larger front wheels and/or shock-absorbing handles, uneven ground is cushioned as you move over it.The resulting impacts are not transferred directly to the arms and shoulders. This makes walking with a rollator comfortable and safe on any surface, helping to prevent sore arm muscles as well as pain in the shoulder and neck area.
Reflectors
Especially in the twilight in autumn and winter, pedestrians are often poorly seen or even overlooked.
Therefore, many reflectors are attached to the outdoor rollators. These provide more safety and visibility in road traffic. The Saljol Carbon rollator has additional reflectors on the spokes. Since the wheels move when walking, the reflectors are hard to miss in the dark.
Handles
Riding over uneven paths and roads often jolts the arms and shoulders when walking on the rollator. This quickly leads to sore muscles and pain.
Due to the special handles of the outdoor rollators, shocks are absorbed and not directly transferred. In addition, they are non-slip and ergonomically shaped. This also makes driving over cobblestones or forest paths more comfortable and safer.
Tipping aid
To negotiate obstacles, kerbs or steps easily and safely, outdoor rollators are equipped with a tipping aid.
With a gentle press on the tipping aid, the rollator tilts slightly backwards, lifting the front wheels. This allows the rollator to be pushed over the obstacle with minimal muscular effort. Shopping window browsing around town becomes enjoyable again instead of a physical strain.
Brakes
The brakes on outdoor rollators are designed to perform reliably in all weather conditions, whether it is wet from rain or bright and sunny. Especially outdoors, you need to be able to rely on the brakes at all times.
The conveniently positioned hand brakes engage even with a light pull, allowing you to slow down quickly and safely. When taking a short rest using the rollator, always remember to apply the parking brake. Simply push the hand brake levers down to do so.
Target groups outdoor rollators
You live in a rural area
Do you have hills, steep roads or unpaved paths right outside your front door? In situations like these, a rollator with a drag brake is a real advantage. However, only a few rollators – such as the Saljol Carbon Rollator – are equipped with this type of braking system. Without it, a rollator may start rolling downhill on its own or pull you along behind it. A drag brake works rather like a gear system and is located on the rear wheels. It creates rolling resistance so that the rollator only moves forward when you actively push it. This means it remains under control when going downhill and does not run away from you. In addition, the drag brake allows you to adjust your walking speed.
Do you tend to lean forward and walk too quickly with your rollator? Thanks to the drag brake, the rollator will no longer run ahead of you, enabling you to walk more slowly and safely. When walking downhill, you also no longer need to apply the hand brakes constantly.
You suffer from muscle weakness or age-related frailty
Muscle weakness is a natural part of the ageing process. Muscles gradually lose strength and mass, which can make many everyday activities more difficult. For many people, transporting a rollator that can weigh up to 10 kg then becomes almost impossible.
The Saljol Carbon Rollator, by contrast, is ultra-lightweight at just 5.6 kg, while the Allround Rollator weighs only 6.4 kg. Both can be folded with just one hand.
This means your walking aid is ready for transport with minimal effort and can be easily lifted into the boot of a car. Manoeuvring and negotiating kerbs is also easier with the Carbon or Allround Rollator.
Here you get a rollator that allows you to take a rest, is easy to transport, and at the same time offers stability and safety.
