Drive DeVilbiss Folding Walking Frame with Wheels
Our verdict
The Drive folding frame reaches 99cm handle height and holds 180kg, but at 3.4kg it is the heaviest frame here with a published weight.
Best for: taller users, and anyone who needs to fold a frame into a car boot or store it flat.
Not for: people who struggle to lift weight with each step: Drive’s own spec table gives 3.4kg, heavier than every other published frame here.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
Drive’s product page contradicts itself on weight. The feature list says the “Lightweight frame weighs only 3kg (6.5lb)”, while the specification table on the same page gives the wheeled WA009 as “3.4kg (7.4lb)” (the version without wheels is 2.9kg). We list 3.4kg. Drive publishes no user manual for this frame on the product page, only a spares list and declarations of conformity. One dealer we checked, MedicalSupplies.co.uk, lists this frame at 64cm wide, 80 to 98cm high and 3kg; Drive’s own table says 62cm, 81 to 99cm and 3.4kg.
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Walking Frames and Zimmer Frames UK: 7 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 2. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
