Gemino 30 Walker

The Gemino 30 Walker is Sunrise Medical's forearm-support rolling walker. Westin Healthcare sells it and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. It is a 4-wheel Gemino with adjustable arm troughs, not a two-wheel pickup walker you lift with each step.

Sunrise Canada's 2020 Gemino catalog rates the standard Gemino 30 Walker at 331 lb (150 kg) and 23.4 lb (10.6 kg) without the basket. Medium is 287 lb (130 kg) and 22.9 lb. Both sizes use 11 x 1.4 in wheels. The brakes and push handles sit in the forearm supports.

Who this walker is for

This walker is for a person who needs more upper-body support than a standard rollator grip, stays at or under the size's weight rating, and can use the integrated brakes in the arm troughs. Families usually call us when a therapist asks for forearm support during gait practice, or when wrist pain makes a normal rollator handle hard to use.

If you want ordinary push handles on the same family, start with the Gemino 30 rollator. If you want these troughs on the outdoor Gemino 60 chassis, see the Gemino 60 Walker. For a two-button folding walker we already stock, see the Drive folding walker with 5 in wheels.

• Forearm supports with height, depth, and angle adjustment
• Two sizes: handles 39-44 in or 33-39 in
• 11 in wheels and a 33 in turning radius

Fit and height

The Gemino 30 Walker puts your weight through the forearms, not the palms. Sunrise says you can adjust the height, depth, and angle of the arm supports. Standard arm-support height runs 39-44 in (99-112 cm) for users about 4 ft 11 in to 6 ft 7 in. Medium 33-39 in (84-99 cm) for about 4 ft 5 in to 5 ft 7 in. Seat height is 24 in (61 cm) standard and 22 in (56 cm) Medium. Width between the centres of the push handles is 10 in (25 cm), because the grips sit inboard in the troughs. Ask us to match the size before we order.

Wheels, brakes, and folding

The Gemino 30 Walker uses 11 x 1.4 in wheels front and rear. Turning radius is 33 in. The brake and push handles are built into the forearm supports and are meant to be easy to reach. Lock the brakes on flat ground before you sit.

The frame still folds. Folded width is 14 in, wider than the 9 in Gemino 30 rollator, because of the troughs. Folded length is 10 in. Folded height is 38 in standard and 35 in Medium. Sunrise presents this model for indoor use and for gait training. A slowdown brake is a catalog accessory, not standard.

Weight and portability

Standard weighs 23.4 lb (10.6 kg) without the basket, 24 lb with it. Medium 22.9 lb (23.6 lb with basket). That is about 8 lb heavier than a Gemino 30 rollator. The catalog basket is rated at 11 lb (5 kg). Do not use the walker as a wheelchair.

Gemino 30 Walker specifications

Both sizes: 24 in wide, 26 in long, 11 x 1.4 in wheels, 33 in turn, 10 in between handle centres. Standard: 331 lb, seat 24 in, supports 39-44 in, 23.4 lb without basket. Medium: 287 lb, seat 22 in, supports 33-39 in, 22.9 lb. Catalog colour: Silver grey.

Warranty coverage on the CA product card may vary from one province to another depending on funding requirements. Ask us which term ships with your walker.

Gemino 30 Walker or Gemino 30 rollator

The Gemino 30 Walker is the forearm-support Gemino. The Gemino 30 rollator is the same family with ordinary push handles, 8 in wheels, and a 15.7 lb standard frame. The Gemino 60 Walker keeps the troughs and steps up to the outdoor 11 in / 9 in wheel set at a 287 lb rating. A two-button walker such as the Drive Deluxe Folding Walker has no seat and is lifted with each step.

Funding help for a walker or rollator in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of a walker or rollator when the need is long-term and the aid is prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every model qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.

Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA

Westin's own team delivers and sets up this walker across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, unfold it, set the forearm supports, and show you the brakes and the fold before we leave.

We have three stores in the Brampton and Toronto area if you would rather see a forearm-support walker first. For a scheduled in-home setup, call (905) 451-7743 and we will book the next date that works. Same-day delivery is offered through our hospital bed rental service; purchased walkers are delivered and set up on a scheduled date.

If the walker is going outside the GTA, ask us for a freight quote. Inside Toronto and the GTA, White-Glove Delivery (bring-in, unwrap, test, take packaging away) is described on the shipping policy. Any charge is confirmed on your order.

Walker Vs Rollator: Which Is Better?

The Gemino 30 Walker standard forearm supports adjust from 39-44 in (99-112 cm). Medium supports run 33-39 in. Seat height is 24 in or 22 in. Fit the troughs so the shoulders are not shrugged.
