Bariatric Strength with Junior-Height Fit

Built for users who need high weight support but a lower height range, this junior heavy-duty walker combines a wider, deeper reinforced frame with easy rolling front wheels. The dual-button folding design makes it convenient for storage and transport while maintaining excellent stability for daily walking and standing support.

Key Features

• 500 lb weight capacity with reinforced heavy-duty aluminum frame and steel bracing system
• Two front wheels (commonly 5" diameter) for smooth forward movement without lifting each step
• Steel side braces and U-brace construction add exceptional rigidity and stability to frame
• Independent push-button folding on each side for narrow spaces and safer standing transitions
• Vinyl contoured hand grips providing comfort and secure control during ambulation
• Rear glide caps help the walker slide smoothly over various indoor and outdoor surfaces
• Limited lifetime warranty (Drive Medical standard for bariatric walker class)

Benefits

• High-capacity 500 lb support improves safety and confidence for bariatric users
• Front wheels reduce physical effort and fatigue by eliminating constant lifting requirement
• Junior height range accommodates shorter users who still need heavy-duty strength and stability
• Folds quickly for convenient transport, storage, or travel without compromising structural integrity
• Wider frame provides enhanced lateral stability preventing tipping during use
• Dual wheels enable smoother gait pattern with more natural forward rolling motion

Usage / Application

Ideal for homecare, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and clinical environments for users requiring bariatric stability in a shorter/junior height range. Great for injury recovery, balance issues, obesity-related mobility challenges, or long-term mobility assistance. Suitable for users who need maximum weight support but are shorter in stature (typically under 5'6" tall). Walker accommodates users transitioning from wheelchair to walking, post-bariatric surgery patients building strength, or individuals with obesity and concurrent orthopedic conditions requiring both high weight capacity and lower handle height. Front wheels particularly beneficial for users with limited upper body strength who struggle with constant lifting motion required by standard glide walkers.
