Galvanised steel arm mobility rudder for fitness trails

This arm mobility rudder is a galvanised steel fitness trail station that trains rotation and flexibility of the shoulders and arms in a standing position. The user turns two wheel style handles through a full circle, a movement chosen because it mobilises the shoulder joint without any load setting and without instruction.

The station belongs to the galvanised steel fitness trail range B, designed for permanent unsupervised installation in parks, gardens and open air sports facilities. The frame is galvanised steel with rounded corners and non slip surfaces, and the equipment is delivered with detailed installation instructions and fixings.

Mobility stations of this kind are the ones most used by older adults on a public trail, because they give a perceptible result on stiffness without requiring strength. That makes them a sensible first purchase when a municipality is testing whether a trail will be used before committing to a full circuit.

Technical specification

Placing a mobility station on a public site

Mobility equipment is used standing and stationary, so it does not need to sit on the running line of a trail. A widened area beside a path, near a bench or at the entrance of a park works better, because users often stop there in conversation and stay longer.

Ground preparation follows the installation instructions supplied with the equipment. The clear area around the station and its position relative to paths and planting are set out in the implantation study issued with the quotation.

Budgeting is the other reason a mobility station is a good first purchase. At this price point a municipality can install one station in a first phase, observe how it is used over a season and extend the circuit in the following budget year, without having committed to a full outdoor gym before the demand is proven.

Frequently asked questions

Is any adjustment required between users?

No. The rotation is free and the movement adapts to the user, so the station is suitable for all fitness levels without setting.

What are the dimensions?

Overall dimensions and the clear area are confirmed in the implantation study for your site. Send a plan with the quotation request and our design office returns a dimensioned drawing.

How much maintenance does it need?

Little. The galvanised finish resists corrosion and weather; maintenance is periodic inspection of the fixings and of the rotating parts.
