Test result preview
The Z32 narrow rollator from VOCIC was specially developed for use in narrow flats and scores points with a maximum width of just 56 cm. This means it fits easily through the narrowest doorways and corridors. Thanks to an innovative 3-second quick-folding system, the rollator can be folded to compact dimensions of 94 x 30 x 56 cm and stowed away to save space. According to the manufacturer, it is equipped with particularly quiet soft tyres made of high-quality PU material, which offer a quiet and stable ride. Its ergonomic design combines lightness and robustness thanks to an aluminium alloy that weighs just 6.6 kg but offers a maximum load capacity of 110 kg. According to the manufacturer, there are also safety features such as a sensitive braking system, a full-length handlebar with 5-position height adjustment and reflective strips on the front wheels. With useful accessories such as a non-slip tray and a large mesh compartment, the Z32 is a multifunctional tool that has been thought through down to the last detail.
Advantages
- Very narrow
- Simple folding mechanism
- Ergonomic bow handle, height-adjustable in five positions

In the practical test, the Z32 narrow rollator impressed with its easy handling and stability.
The rollator’s braking system is absolutely satisfactory. The brakes can be applied easily and without great effort, which is particularly advantageous for older people with limited strength. The locking function ensures that the rollator remains securely in place when reversing, while slight movements are possible when travelling forwards despite the wheels being locked.
The Z32 impresses with its exceptional manoeuvrability. The flexible 360° swivelling front wheels enable effortless navigation even in the tightest of spaces.
The full-length bow handle offers an exceptionally pleasant feel and is padded with soft foam. The five-position height adjustment (80-93 cm) makes the rollator flexible for people between 150 cm and 190 cm tall. Unlike conventional rollators, the Z32 can be pushed like a pushchair, which makes it even easier to use.
The rollator’s innovative quick-folding mechanism impresses with its simplicity. The rollator can be folded to a compact size in just a few simple steps.
The soft tyres with 1.5 mm anti-slip tread ensure smooth and quiet running on all tested surfaces such as parquet, tiles and carpets. The tyres ensure stability and prevent slipping, making driving safer and more pleasant overall.
The tray with non-slip silicone pads is a practical feature that enables items to be transported safely around the home. The mesh compartment offers sufficient storage space for everyday items and ensures that the Z32 is not just a rollator, but also a functional companion .
The Z32 narrow rollator from VOCIC is an excellently thought-out product that is particularly suitable for use in confined living spaces.
