Complete X-FOLD Rollator with Padded Gutter Arm Supports
The Goldfern X-FOLD Gutter Arm Rollator Set combines a complete X-FOLD or X-FOLD PLUS rollator with Goldfern’s dedicated gutter-arm conversion, giving you a ready-to-order forearm-support configuration rather than buying the walker and conversion kit separately.
The padded forearm troughs change how support is taken through the upper body. Instead of relying only on conventional handgrips, the user can bear more support through the forearms while retaining direct access to the integrated brake controls. This can be useful where standard handgrips are difficult to use comfortably or where a more upright supported walking position is preferred.
Choose X-FOLD or X-FOLD PLUS
The complete set is available on either of the two compatible X-FOLD chassis:
- X-FOLD: the lighter 5.85 kg everyday model with a 136 kg maximum user weight, 59.4 cm overall width and 56 cm seat height.
- X-FOLD PLUS: the higher-capacity 6.3 kg model with a 180 kg maximum user weight, 53.5 cm overall width and 51.5 cm seat height.
Colour availability differs by chassis: the standard X-FOLD is available in Ice Blue, Candy Pink, Purple, Green and Grey, while the X-FOLD PLUS is available in Grey only.
The standard chassis dimensions, wheel size, folding system, seat height and maximum user weight remain those of the selected base rollator. The gutter-arm conversion changes the upper support and braking arrangement rather than the underlying X-FOLD frame.
Forearm Support with Integrated Braking
Each gutter arm combines a padded forearm trough with its own handgrip and brake control. The broader support surface can reduce reliance on the hands and wrists compared with a conventional rollator grip, while still allowing the user to control and lock the brakes.
Forearm support height and position should be adjusted carefully so the shoulders can stay relaxed and the user can walk without excessive stooping or reaching. The setup should also leave the brake controls easy to operate.
Lightweight Folding X-FOLD Chassis
Both chassis retain the X-FOLD family’s transport-focused design. The aluminium frame folds for storage, the 20.3 cm (8") wheels can be removed to reduce bulk, and the removable shopping bag can be carried separately as a shoulder or satchel bag.
The standard X-FOLD weighs approximately 5.85 kg before the gutter-arm conversion; the X-FOLD PLUS weighs approximately 6.3 kg before the conversion. The complete gutter-arm setup adds the dedicated forearm supports, brake/post assemblies, cable and rear-wheel components.
Which Model Should I Choose?
Choose the X-FOLD when minimum chassis weight and the roomier 59.4 cm frame suit the user. Choose the X-FOLD PLUS when the higher 180 kg user capacity is the priority while still keeping the walker relatively light for vehicle transport.
If standard handgrips are appropriate but additional height is needed, see the X-FOLD / X-FOLD PLUS Extended Handle Rollator Set. The original X-FOLD and X-FOLD PLUS are also available with standard handles.

Fit and Setup
Forearm rollators need more individual setup than a conventional handgrip walker. Both forearm supports should be positioned evenly and securely, with the troughs supporting the forearms without forcing the shoulders upward. Brake operation and cable routing should be checked through the full adjustment range before use.
Where hand weakness, pain, significant postural needs or balance limitations affect walking, professional assessment can help confirm whether gutter arms are the right configuration and how they should be positioned.
