Freeway Lightweight Rollator with Seat

Uniscan Freeway Ultra Lightweight Rollator

The Uniscan Freeway is a remarkably lightweight four-leg walking frame designed for users who want walking support without the additional weight associated with many conventional rollators.

At just 5.8kg / 13lb, the standard Freeway is particularly easy to handle, making it an attractive option when the walker needs to be regularly folded, stored or transported. Despite its low weight, the Freeway has a substantial 127kg / 20 stone maximum user weight. A built-in folding seat provides somewhere to rest, while adjustable handles & choice of seat heights allow the walker to be configured around individual requirements.

Ultra Lightweight 5.8kg Rollator

One of the biggest advantages of the Uniscan Freeway is its weight.

The manufacturer specifies a frame weight of just:

5.8kg / 13lb

This figure is based on the standard-width Freeway with a 21" / 533mm seat height.

That low frame weight can be particularly useful when the walker needs to be:

• Lifted into a car
• Moved between rooms
• Folded and stored regularly
• Taken on days out
• Transported on holiday
• Handled by a family member or carer

For customers specifically searching for a lightweight rollator with a seat, the Freeway's 5.8kg weight is one of its strongest features.

Built-In Folding Rest Seat

The Freeway incorporates a folding rest seat, providing somewhere to sit when the user needs to take a break. The seat folds when not required, contributing to the Freeway's practical and compact design.

Please note the Freeway does not include a backrest so care must be taken when seated.

Choice of Seat Height

Correct seat height can make a significant difference to how comfortable and practical a seated walker is to use.

The Uniscan Freeway is available in two seat heights:

• 19" / 483mm
• 21" / 533mm

We recommend that the seat height should correspond with a chair from which the user can comfortably sit and rise. This choice makes it easier to select a Freeway appropriate to the user's height rather than relying on a single fixed seat height.

Adjustable Handle Height

The Freeway's handles are height adjustable by the owner. There are three handle settings on each model, with each position adjusting by 2" / 51mm - The first handle setting is always 10.5" / 267mm above the selected seat height.

For example, choosing the 19" seat version provides approximate handle heights of:

29.5" / 749mm
31.5" / 800mm
33.5" / 851mm

We recommend positioning the handles approximately level with the user's wrist when standing in their normal walking position.

Safety Pressure Brakes as Standard

A particularly useful feature of the Freeway is its Safety Pressure Brake system, which is fitted as standard. Instead of requiring the user to squeeze a conventional hand brake, the pressure-brake system activates when downward weight or pressure is applied to the frame. Uniscan specifically identifies this system as useful for people who have limited strength in their hands.

It is important to understand that the pressure brake remains engaged only while downward pressure is being applied to the frame.

Under-Seat Shopping Caddy

The Freeway includes an under-seat shopping caddy with zipped pocket and cover. This provides convenient storage for shopping and smaller personal belongings while keeping the user's hands available to operate the walking frame.

Walking Stick Holder Included

One walking stick holder is fitted as standard. This allows a walking stick to be carried with the Freeway when it isn't being used.

Folds Flat for Storage

The Uniscan Freeway is designed to fold flat, making it considerably easier to store when it isn't being used. When folded, the frame depth reduces to approximately: 11" / 279mm. Combined with its 5.8kg standard frame weight, this makes the Freeway particularly convenient when transportation and storage are priorities.
