Goldfern Heavy-Duty Knee Walker
The Goldfern Heavy-Duty Knee Walker is the higher-capacity option in Goldfern's knee-walker range, designed for appropriate users who need to keep weight off one lower leg during recovery. The affected leg rests on a padded knee platform while the other leg propels the walker.
It supports users up to 180 kg, compared with 159 kg for the Standard model, and combines adjustable handlebar and knee-pad heights with locking hand brakes, a removable front basket, two cane holders and a folding frame.
Standard or Heavy Duty Knee Walker?
Choose the Heavy Duty model when the higher 180 kg user capacity is needed or its adjustment range better suits the user. The Standard model supports up to 159 kg and is slightly lighter.
Both styles require the user to kneel safely on one side, steer and brake with the hands, and propel with the unaffected leg. A knee walker is not appropriate for every lower-leg injury or every user, so follow the advice of the health professional managing the recovery plan.
Adjustable Knee Pad and Handlebars
The knee platform adjusts from approximately 400–560 mm, while the handlebars adjust from around 825–1060 mm. Correct setup should allow the affected leg to rest comfortably without forcing the hip or back into an awkward position.
Braking, Storage and Folding
Hand-operated brakes include a parking-lock function for securing the walker when stationary. A removable front basket carries light everyday items, while two cane holders provide storage for compatible walking sticks when required.
The frame folds for easier vehicle transport and storage. At approximately 11.6 kg including the basket, it is a substantial mobility aid rather than an ultralight travel product.
