ROLLATOR-REST
Rollator Safety Unit (RSU)

EASY, COMFORTABLE AND SAFE

More and more especially elderly and handicapped people use the rollator or rolling walker. It gives them the possibility to stay mobile and independent. Our mission is to enlarge their range of activity by using the public transport systems in an easy, comfortable and safe way with minimal impact on the operator’s business and the driver’s job.

The only thing operators have to do, is to mount a rollator-rest unit in an easily accessible area in their public transport vehicles.

TECHNICAL RELIABILITY

Because of
