Rollator with forearm support for more comfortable walking

An important advantage of the Vermeiren Goliat Artro model is the support on the forearm. Unlike a standard rollator, where the user mainly supports themselves on the palms and wrists, this rollator with forearm support allows support to be distributed over a larger area.

Forearm supports are useful for people who have pain in their hands, wrists or shoulders, for users who need a higher posture, or for people who do not feel stable enough on a classic rollator. The more upright position can contribute to a more controlled gait and a more comfortable experience in daily use.

Correct adjustment of the supports is essential. If the supports are too low, the user may lean forward. If they are too high, the shoulders may be tense and control of the rollator may become more difficult. Therefore, we recommend adjusting the product together with a specialist or trained personnel.

Robust rollator for users up to 200 kg

The Vermeiren Goliat Artro has a maximum user capacity of up to 200 kg. This feature makes it suitable for users who need a more robust walking device than a standard rollator.

A rollator with forearm support should be chosen not only according to the maximum permissible weight, but also according to the total width, the distance between the supports, the adjustment height, the available space in the home and the user's ability to control the brakes. Goliat Artro has a total width of approximately 650 mm and a distance between the handles of approximately 580 mm, which must be checked in relation to doors, hallways and daily routes.

The product is designed for walking support, not for transporting the user in a seated position. The user can rest on the seat when the rollator is stabilized with the parking brakes, but should not be pushed while seated.

Seat, backrest and storage bag

Goliat Artro includes a seat with a width of approximately 470 mm and a depth of approximately 410 mm. The seat height is adjustable between approximately 490 and 560 mm, which helps to adapt the product to the user.

The seat is useful for short breaks while riding. Before sitting down, the user must lock both parking brakes, turn around safely, and only sit down on a flat, stable surface. The backrest provides additional support during breaks, and the storage bag allows for the transport of light personal items.

The bag has a maximum recommended load of 5 kg. Overloading the bag may affect the stability of the rollator, especially when turning, climbing small curbs or on slightly uneven surfaces.

Service brakes and parking brakes

This rollator with forearm support is equipped with service brakes and parking brakes. Service brakes help control speed while moving, and parking brakes are required when the user stops, sits down, or gets up.

For safety, both brakes should be checked before use. The user must be able to operate the brakes consistently and understand the difference between service braking and parking locking.

Before using the rollator as a lifting aid, the brakes must be set to the parking position. While walking, the user should keep the rollator close to the body and avoid pushing it too far forward.

Folding, transport and storage

The Vermeiren Goliat Artro is foldable, which helps with storage and transport. The folded length is approximately 400 mm and the folded width is approximately 650 mm, according to Vermeiren technical data.

To fold, the seat must be raised, the bag must be emptied, and the folding mechanism must be operated according to the manual. To unfold, the frame must be fully opened and properly locked before use. It is important that the user or caregiver avoid trapping fingers in the folding mechanism.

The total weight is approximately 12.35 kg, and without the bag approximately 12 kg. Being a robust model, it must be checked whether the person carrying it can lift it safely and whether the product fits in the trunk, elevator or available storage space.

How to choose the right rollator with forearm support

Choosing a rollator with forearm support must be made according to the user's weight, height, balance level, arm strength, ability to control the brakes and the space the product will be used in. For Goliat Artro, the height of the supports, the overall width, the turning width and the maximum capacity of 200 kg are important.

This model may be suitable for users who need high stability and forearm support, especially when traditional handles put too much pressure on the palms and wrists. However, if the user has severe imbalance, impaired vision, significant arm weakness, or other limitations that may make use unsafe, the choice should only be made after specialist evaluation.

Before purchasing, it is important to check whether the rollator will fit through doorways, hallways, elevators, bathrooms, and storage spaces. It is also important to check whether the user can sit comfortably on the seat and whether they can lift or carry the product when necessary.
