Kitchen Trolley or Buckingham Caddy
If you have difficulty carrying your meal or drinks to eat at a table or in another room you may wish to consider the following items.
Buckingham Caddy
If you use a zimmer frame, the Buckingham Walking Frame Caddy has been developed to enable you to safely transport a variety of daily living items. These can be supplied with a tray, that is designed to safely transport a plate of food, and a mug holder, which holds any spillages.
Kitchen Trolley
Wheeled trollies usually have 2 trays on a frame with 4 castor wheels. They are not a substitute for a walking aid as they are not designed to support the weight of an individual and have caster wheels which can move too quickly for someone with mobility difficulties.
We have a list of local suppliers of equipment in the directory:
Or you can find and buy these products online by searching mobility trolley in your browser.
Things to consider
Make sure there is enough circulation space for items to be used in the kitchen and equipment does not pose a trip hazzard.
High thresholds within the property may make using wheeled equipment more challenging.
It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and observe weight limits.
