Alerta Three-Wheel Walker with Basket, Tray and Bag - Foldable Carrying Walker, 115kg
The Alerta Three-Wheel Lightweight Walker with Basket, Tray and Storage Bag is a three-wheel walking aid configured specifically for users who need to carry items during walks rather than rest mid-journey. Where the three-wheel walker with seat is chosen by users who need to stop and sit, this model is chosen by users who need to transport meals, drinks, medication or personal items independently without a carer. The raised-edge tray is the distinguishing feature: it holds cups, plates and personal items securely during walking, preventing spills. The front basket and zipped storage bag provide further storage for everyday items. The foldable aluminium frame at 6.5kg is practical for users who load it independently.

Regulatory Compliance
The Alerta Three-Wheel Lightweight Walker meets BS EN ISO 11199-2 (wheeled walking aids) for stability, braking, handle range and structural integrity. UK UKCA marking applies as a Class I medical device. The carrying configuration is relevant to CQC Regulation 10 (Dignity and Respect): enabling a care home resident to carry their own meal tray or personal items independently across the care home, without requiring a carer to carry on their behalf, directly supports dignity and autonomy in daily life. The handle lock mechanism addresses CQC Regulation 12 (Safe Care) by preventing the walker from moving when the user is stationary and loading or unloading the tray. NICE NG147 walking aid assessment should include the user's typical carrying needs as part of the overall mobility assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the raised-edge tray carry hot drinks and plates safely?
The raised edge is designed to retain items during walking and prevent them sliding off the flat tray surface. It is suitable for cups, mugs, plates and small items. Users should not carry liquids that are so full they will spill during normal walking movement, and hot drinks should be assessed for suitability based on the individual user's walking stability. For users with significant tremor or very unsteady gait, the tray may not be appropriate for hot liquids; an OT assessment can confirm safe use for the individual.
Why does this model have a lower SWL (115kg) than the seat model (135kg)?
The lower 115kg user capacity reflects the different structural loading profile of this model. The seat model (NCL-ALT-R004) is engineered to support a seated user load, which requires additional structural reinforcement around the seat and frame joints; this reinforcement is not present in the basket/tray model, which is not designed to be sat upon. Users who need a rest seat as well as storage should specify the NCL-ALT-R004 three-wheel walker with seat rather than this model.
