Alerta Four-Wheeled Rollator with Solid Back - 136kg, Detachable Backrest, Puncture-Proof Wheels
The Alerta Four-Wheeled Rollator with Solid Back is a standard four-wheel rollator that adds a strong, detachable solid backrest to the padded seat specification. The solid backrest provides more structured support than a fabric or cable backrest during seated rest: the rigid surface supports the lower back and prevents the user from leaning backwards off the rear of the seat. The backrest detaches for access to the under-seat storage bag via the hinged seat mechanism. Puncture-proof wheels support both indoor and outdoor use across care home, community and outdoor environments. At 136kg capacity with a 52cm seat height and 82-91cm handle range, the specification covers a broad range of adult users in residential care settings.

Regulatory Compliance
The Alerta Four-Wheeled Rollator with Solid Back meets BS EN ISO 11199-2 (wheeled walking aids) covering stability, braking, folding durability and handle range. UK UKCA marking applies as a Class I medical device. The solid detachable backrest provides additional postural support during seated rest that is relevant for users with postural instability or back pain where standard fabric backrests provide insufficient support; an OT assessment can confirm whether the solid back specification is clinically indicated for an individual user. Puncture-proof wheels support consistent outdoor use across the range of environments typically accessed by care home residents and community users under NICE NG147 falls prevention plans. CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect) is supported by the under-seat storage bag, which enables users to carry personal items independently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the clinical benefits of a solid backrest compared to a fabric or cable backrest?
A solid backrest provides a rigid surface for lumbar and lower back contact during seated rest, which offers more consistent postural support than a fabric panel or cable strap that can flex, sag or shift under pressure. For users with postural instability, core weakness or back pain who need to rest frequently during walking, the solid backrest reduces the risk of backward leaning or losing seated balance during rest. The detachable design means the backrest can be removed when access to under-seat storage is needed without permanently altering the rollator configuration.
How does this rollator compare to the dual-folding rollator (NCL-ALT-R006)?
The solid back rollator (NCL-ALT-R002) has a 52cm seat height, 82-91cm handle range, solid detachable backrest and puncture-proof wheels at 6.5kg. The dual-folding rollator (NCL-ALT-R006) has a 48cm seat height (lower), 79-96cm handle range (wider, starting lower), independently adjustable backrest, patented dual-fold mechanism and is slightly heavier at 7.35kg. The solid back model is better where postural support from a rigid backrest is the priority; the dual-folding model is better where maximum transport portability and a lower seat height are required.
