Aluminum frames for easier transport
These listings focus on walkers made from aluminum. This material is significantly lighter than steel, making it easier to lift the frame into a car trunk or over a curb. Aluminum also resists corrosion, which is helpful if you use the walker outdoors in damp weather or live in a humid climate. Most models in this set weigh between 12 and 18 lbs, which is a practical range for seniors who travel often or live independently.
The lightweight nature of these frames does not sacrifice strength. Many of the aluminum options in this catalog support weight capacities between 250 lbs and 350 lbs. This material is the standard choice for users who want a balance of durability and portability.
