Description
The Drive DeVilbiss Nitro Rollator is a high-quality lightweight rollator designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Available in three carefully sized models from Small to Tall, the Nitro ensures you can find the perfect fit for your height and build, providing comfortable, properly positioned support that encourages good posture and confident walking.
What sets the Nitro apart is the thoughtful attention to sizing. Rather than offering a single "one size fits most" approach that leaves shorter and taller users struggling with poorly positioned handles, the Nitro range provides properly proportioned options - from the compact Small for users under 5'2", right through to the Tall for those over 6'0".
Three Sizes for the Perfect Fit
Small: Suitable for users under 5'2" (157cm) with handle height adjustable from 77-90cm (30-35"). Weighing 7.1kg with a 46cm seat height, the Small is proportioned specifically for shorter-statured users, ensuring comfortable handle positioning and an appropriately sized seat that makes sitting and standing straightforward.
Medium: Accommodates users between 5'2" and 6'0" (157-183cm) with handle height adjustable from 85-97cm (34-38"). At 7.2kg and with a 52cm seat height, this is the most versatile size for average-height users. Available in Red or Black finish.
Tall: Specifically designed for users over 6'0" (183cm) with handle height extending from 94-105cm (37-41"). At 7.3kg with a 60cm seat height, this ensures taller individuals can walk with properly positioned handles rather than hunching over a standard-height rollator.
Extra-Large Wheels for Superior Performance
All Nitro rollators feature extra-large 25cm (10") wheels - significantly larger than the wheels found on many standard rollators. This larger wheel size provides several important advantages:
Smoother rolling over obstacles: The larger diameter means the wheels roll over small obstacles, cracks, thresholds, and uneven surfaces more easily. Bumps and irregularities that would jar or catch smaller wheels barely slow the Nitro down.
Optimal steering and pushing comfort: The extra-large wheels require less effort to push and manoeuvre, reducing fatigue during extended use. The smooth, stable rolling action means less jarring vibration transmitted through the frame to your hands and arms.
Excellent indoor and outdoor versatility: The wheel size strikes an ideal balance - large enough to handle outdoor pavements, paths, and uneven surfaces confidently, yet still manoeuvrable enough for indoor use through doorways and around furniture.
One-Hand Folding for Effortless Storage
The Nitro features an ingenious one-hand folding mechanism that makes storage and transport genuinely straightforward. Unlike rollators that require two hands, awkward sequences, or struggle to fold, the Nitro folds quickly and safely with just one.
A pulling strap is incorporated into the seat - simply pull upward on this strap and the rollator folds smoothly. When folded, the Nitro stands upright by itself (25-30cm width depending on size), so you don't need to prop it against walls or worry about it falling over.
This means the Nitro fits easily in car boots for transport, stands discreetly in hallways or cupboards at home.
Comprehensive Standard Accessories
Every Nitro rollator comes complete with practical accessories included as standard at no additional cost:
Modern mesh bag with zipper: A generous storage bag with a maximum capacity of 5kg provides secure, accessible storage for shopping, personal items, and essentials. The zippered closure keeps items secure, whilst the mesh construction allows you to see contents at a glance.
Cane holder: Securely stores your walking stick or cane on the rollator frame when not in use, keeping it within easy reach when you need it and preventing it from falling or being left behind.
Curb climbers (kerb lifters): Integrated curb climbers at the rear make it easier to navigate up and down kerbs, thresholds, and small obstacles without excessive lifting or tilting.
Cushioned Comfort
The Nitro features a cushioned seat surface and soft, flexible backrest as standard. The padded seat provides comfortable support when you need to rest, whilst the backrest offers reassurance and comfort when seated.
Seat heights vary by size to maintain proper proportions - the Small (46cm) is ideal for shorter users, the Medium (52cm) suits average-height users, and the Tall (60cm) makes sitting and standing easier for taller individuals.
Ergonomic Height-Adjustable Handles
The handles feature push-button height adjustment that allows you to set them at precisely the right height for your stature. No tools required. Each size offers different adjustment ranges to ensure optimal positioning.
The handles should rest at wrist height when you're standing upright with your arms relaxed at your sides. This positioning encourages you to stand tall rather than hunching forward, reducing strain on your back, shoulders, and arms.
The ergonomic handle design fits naturally in your hands, providing comfortable grip even during extended use.
Dual-Function Brake System
The Nitro is equipped with a reliable dual-function brake system:
Progressive braking whilst walking: Squeeze the brake levers to slow down or stop as needed. The brakes provide smooth, controlled stopping power.
Parking brake for stationary security: Push the brake levers downward to engage the parking brake, locking the rollator securely in place when you're seated or stationary.
The brakes are easily activated and lockable for safety, providing peace of mind whether you're walking or resting.
Increased Stability
The Nitro features cross struts in the frame construction that provide increased stability and safety. This structural reinforcement means the rollator feels solid and secure even when navigating uneven surfaces or supporting your full weight.
Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use
The Nitro is genuinely versatile, performing excellently both indoors and outdoors:
Indoor use: The 61cm width fits through standard doorways whilst the smooth-rolling wheels won't damage floors. Perfect for home use, residential care facilities, and hospital environments.
Outdoor use: The extra-large 25cm wheels handle pavements, paths, and uneven outdoor surfaces confidently. The curb climbers assist with kerbs and obstacles.
Available in Red and Black
The Nitro is available in a vibrant Red finish across all sizes (Small, Medium, Tall). The Medium size is also available in a sleek Black finish for those who prefer a more understated look.
