⚡ At a Glance
- • Glide Performance: Low friction for easier movement across carpets and hard floors
- • Best for: Frail adults and carers who need reduced effort when moving a walker
- • Not ideal for: Walkers with ferrules that do not match a 45mm base diameter
Plastic skids fit over Z-type rubber ferrules with a 45mm base to lower surface resistance. A correct fit improves mobility for frail users on both carpets and hard floors.
Easier movement on carpets, with low-friction plastic skids
Thin plastic glides slip over the end of existing rubber ferrules to reduce contact friction between the ferrule and the floor. Lower surface resistance means less force is required when the walking aid is dragged along carpets or across hard floors.
Less effort is needed from the user and any carer when moving a walker, making short daily journeys and household tasks easier to manage.
Secure fit and simple installation, with measured 45mm base compatibility
Design matches Z-type rubber ferrules that have a base diameter of 45mm and fits over the ferrule end; exact base measurement must match the glide before fitting. The manufacturer advises measuring the ferrule base diameter as shown in product images before ordering.
A correct match keeps the glide in place during normal use, reducing the chance of slipping and giving confidence while walking.
Low-maintenance replacement, with a two-piece pack
Supplied as a pair of plastic skids so one end can be replaced while the other remains in use; the simple slip-on design avoids tools and complicated fitting. Plastic construction withstands repeated contact with carpets and hard floors.
Quick swapping of worn skids keeps the walking aid functional without fuss, extending the usable life of standard rubber ferrules.
