Rolapal
Rolapal Ltd is a manufacturer and exporter of mobility and assistive technology products. Our manufacturing facility is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
Rolapal gets its name from “Rola” (mobility) “Pal” (friend). Rolapal began in 2013 from a foundation of making custom wheelchair seating for individuals and expanded into an array of adjustable products and packages which are empowering both the therapists and users to achieve amazing results. The “r inside a circle” symbolises a “walking aid” inside a “wheel” for mobility. The Blue colour represents air, lightness and pressure care.
Amongst our Team we have engineers with experience from aerospace and chemical sectors and a variety of crafts people, all specializing in their various tasks from foam manufacturing, carbon fibre molding to sewing and assembling and finishing with our quality control experts.

Rolapal designs its Dreamline Wheelchair Seating to be Durable and have a long lifespan. This in turn reduces waste.
Constant improvements to the manufacturing process helps Rolapal become more efficient but also helps reduce waste. For example, with cutting fabric or foam smaller items are nested in and amongst bigger items to reduce off-cut wastage.
Dreamline products are designed to able to be re-issued to more than the original individual. Custom configurations of the cushion and backrest can be reversed and set at neutral ready for the next occupant. Water resistant inner cushion cover protect the cushion from being soiled.
