Alerta Four-Wheel Indoor Rollator - Lightweight, Tray and Basket, 120kg, Three Colours
The Alerta Four-Wheel Aluminium Lightweight Indoor Rollator is a home and care home rollator configured for indoor use, with 6-inch swivel wheels optimised for smooth hard-floor navigation in confined indoor spaces. The smaller swivel wheel format provides better manoeuvrability in tight care home rooms, narrow hallways and bathroom environments than larger outdoor-rated wheels, but is not intended for outdoor kerbs, gravel or uneven surfaces. The removable contoured tray and generously sized deep storage basket support independent indoor carrying of meals, medication and personal items. The dual brake system - pull-up for gradual slowing during walking, push-down hand-lock for stationary holding - covers both dynamic and static safety needs.

Regulatory Compliance
The Alerta Indoor Rollator meets BS EN ISO 11199-2 (wheeled walking aids) for stability, braking and structural integrity. UK UKCA marking applies as a Class I medical device. The indoor specification (6-inch swivel wheels, lower handle range 89-93.5cm) means this rollator is appropriate for users whose primary mobility aid requirement is within the home or care home, rather than users who regularly walk outdoors on uneven terrain or kerbed routes. CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) is supported by the tray and basket specification, enabling residents to carry their own items and move independently within the care home interior. NICE NG147 walking aid assessment should confirm whether the user's primary environment is indoor or mixed indoor/outdoor before specifying this model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this rollator be used outdoors occasionally?
The 6-inch swivel wheels are optimised for indoor hard-floor surfaces and will not perform as reliably on outdoor surfaces as larger 8-inch or 10-inch outdoor wheels. On smooth outdoor paving in dry conditions, brief outdoor use near a building entrance is manageable. However, on gravel, grass, uneven paving, kerbs or slopes, the small wheels create a significant instability risk. Users who require both indoor and outdoor capability should specify a model with 8-inch or larger puncture-proof wheels rather than this indoor-only model.
What is the difference between the pull-up brake and the push-down hand-lock?
The pull-up brake is the primary walking brake: squeezing and pulling up the brake lever applies resistance to the wheels to slow the rollator gradually during forward walking, functioning like a handbrake. The push-down hand-lock is a separate mechanism that holds the frame fully stationary when the user is standing still or sitting on a seat (if fitted); pushing down locks the wheels completely. The two mechanisms serve different functions: the pull-up brake is for controlled deceleration during movement, and the push-down hand-lock is for static safety during rest.
