Description
Uniscan Glider Plus Adjustable Rollator
The Uniscan Glider Plus Adjustable is a highly configurable lightweight walking frame designed to provide comfortable walking support while accommodating a particularly broad range of user heights and requirements.
Ultra-Lightweight 6.5kg Walking Frame
Despite its extensive range of features, the standard Glider Plus Adjustable weighs only 6.5kg / 14lb. The lightweight construction makes the walker more convenient when it needs to be moved around the home, folded for storage or lifted for transportation.
Built-In Rest Seat
The Glider Plus Adjustable incorporates a built-in rest seat, giving the user somewhere to sit when they need a break.
Available Seat Heights
- 19" / 483mm
- 21" / 533mm
We recommend choosing a seat height comparable to a chair from which the user can comfortably sit down and stand up.
Automatic Folding Backrest
The automatic folding backrest is one of the features that distinguishes the Glider Plus Adjustable from simpler Uniscan models. It provides additional support behind the user when seated, creating a more relaxed and secure resting position. The backrest automatically folds as the walking frame itself is folded, helping retain the convenient storage characteristics of the walker. Uniscan identifies the automatic folding backrest as one of the Glider Plus Adjustable's core features.
Adjustable Handle Height
Correct handle height is important when setting up a walking aid. The Glider Plus Adjustable provides three owner-adjustable handle-height positions, with each setting separated by 2" / 51mm. We recommend setting the handles approximately level with the user's wrist when standing in their normal walking position.
Under-Seat Shopping Caddy
An under-seat shopping caddy with a zipped pocket and cover is fitted as standard. This provides useful storage for smaller belongings and shopping without requiring the user to carry a separate bag while walking.
Walking Stick Holder Included
A walking stick holder is fitted as standard. This allows a walking stick to be carried conveniently when the walker is being used.
Folds for Storage & Transportation
The Glider Plus Adjustable folds down to a depth of approximately 11" / 279mm. This makes the walker considerably more convenient to store when it isn't being used and helps when transporting it in a suitable vehicle.
Maximum User Weight
The standard Glider Plus Adjustable supports users weighing up to 127kg / 20 stone.

FAQs
Why Choose the Uniscan Glider Plus Adjustable?
The biggest advantage of the Glider Plus Adjustable is choice. Rather than expecting the user to adapt to a fixed-size rollator, the walker can be configured with different seat heights and braking systems.
It is particularly worth considering if you're looking for:
- A lightweight rollator with a seat
- A walker with a supportive backrest
- A particularly low or high seat
- Adjustable handle heights
- Conventional locking hand brakes
- Pressure-operated brakes
- Integrated shopping storage
- A British-made walking frame
How Much Does the Uniscan Glider Plus Adjustable Weigh?
The standard Glider Plus Adjustable weighs approximately 6.5kg / 14lb.
Uniscan specifies that this weight is based on a 21" seat-height, standard-width walker, so the precise weight may vary according to configuration.
What Is the Maximum User Weight?
The Glider Plus Adjustable supports users weighing up to 127kg / 20 stone.
What Seat Heights Are Available?
Choose from 19" or 21". We recommend choosing a seat height similar to a chair from which the intended user can comfortably sit and rise.
Which Brakes Should I Choose?
The Locking Lever Cable Brakes operate in a familiar bicycle-style manner and include a parking brake.
The Safety Pressure Brakes activate when downward pressure is applied to the frame and are specifically highlighted by Uniscan as an option for users with limited hand strength.
Does It Have a Seat and Backrest?
Yes. The Glider Plus Adjustable has an integral rest seat and automatic folding backrest. The backrest is designed to provide a more comfortable and secure seating position when stopping for a rest.
Does the Glider Plus Adjustable Fold?
Yes. When folded, the frame is approximately 11" / 279mm deep, helping make storage and transportation easier.
