1PRODUCT PRESENTATION
The Job Walker is a walker that allows people with temporary or permanent disabilities to access
harsh environments such as the beach or snow. This is obtained thanks to the use of patented
innovative solutions from Neatech, as the wheels made of plastic material with controlled
deformation that do not sink on soft soils. The frame is made of light aluminum alloy, a material
that guarantees a high resistance both to bending stress caused by the support of the user’s
weight and to the pushing strength, and to the saline environment corrosion. The Job Walker is
a walker for people with physical disabilities or simply with mobility problems due to the age,
who wish to deal with soft and irregular soils on whose it would be impossible to use traditional
supports. The wheels, always ensuring the greatest possible surface for resting on the ground,
allows ambulation not only of sand or snow, but also on other types of non-cohesive soils such
as meadows, all these make this product a valid aid usable in all seasons and in all contexts. The
folding seat allows the user to sit down for a stopover on the way, or to enjoy the sightseen. The
back and seat are made of sturdy fabric characterized by rapid drying that does not incorporate
the grains of the sand.
