Description
The PCP 5052-W is an adult folding walker in the wheel style, with a double release that folds each side on its own.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Each side folds on its own, so you can narrow one side to pass a space.
- The frame is 1 in (2.5 cm) aluminium tubing, with a steel front cross brace on an internal bushing.
- Two flush cross braces tie the sides together for stability.
- The wheel attachments let the walker roll along the floor instead of being lifted.
- The adult handles adjust from 32 to 39 in (81 to 99 cm), and the frame carries up to 300 lb (136 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For an adult who has some mobility but lacks the upper body strength for crutches.
- PCP designs this walker primarily for indoor use.
- Choose the rubber-tip 5052 if you do not want the frame to roll.
- Choose a rollator if you need a seat and hand brakes.
Will it fit?
- Set the grips at wrist height with a slight elbow bend.
- Measure the walker across before you rely on it for a narrow doorway.
- The weight limit is 300 lb (136 kg).
- A shorter user needs a junior model, which adjusts lower; the 5052-W is the adult frame.
Using it day to day
- Press each release separately, so one side can fold while the other stays planted.
- Set both handles to the same height before you walk.
- Keep the wheels clear of hair and grit, and wipe the frame with a damp cloth.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- The front legs roll on the wheel attachments, and the rear legs keep rubber tips. Ski glides are a separate style.
- It has no seat and no hand brake.
- The warranty is limited lifetime against defects in material or workmanship.
- PCP rates it primarily for indoor use, so keep that in mind on pavement or grass.
How does it compare?
- The PCP 5052 with rubber tips is the same adult frame without wheels.
- The Drive two-button walker with 5 in wheels is another wheeled walker with a different release.
- See two-wheel walkers and the rollator and walker guide.
Frequently asked questions
Do I press both releases at once?
No. Each side releases on its own, so you can fold one side and keep the other steady.
Can I use it outdoors?
PCP designs it primarily for indoor use; for pavement or grass, a rollator or an outdoor walker may suit better.
Does it come with ski glides?
No. This item is the wheel style; ski glides are a different style in the same line.
