Mobility & Home Care Equipment Hire Range
Whether you need equipment for a few weeks while recovering from surgery, ongoing support at home, a holiday, or specialist kit for a family member, our range covers individuals, families, care homes, and NHS teams and occupational therapists working on equipment referrals.
Everything is hired rather than bought outright, so you get the right product for your current needs without a large upfront cost, and every item is delivered, set up where needed, and collected again once you’re done.
Use the categories below to find what you need or call our team on 0800 111 6234 if you’d like help choosing.
What you can hire from us
-
Wheelchairs
From lightweight folding chairs for days out to specialist tilt-in-space and off-road models, our wheelchair range covers short trips, daily use and more demanding outdoor terrain. Our team helps you choose the right chair during the order process, so it fits from day one.
-
Powerchairs
Powerchairs suit anyone who needs powered support to stay independent indoors, outdoors or both, from compact folding models to premium chairs with tilt and recline functions. Bariatric and high-function versions are also available.
-
Mobility Scooters
Our mobility scooters range from ultra-light folding models that fit in a car boot to robust 8mph scooters built for longer journeys and rougher ground. Bariatric scooters with higher weight capacities are also available.
-
Profiling & Homecare Beds
Homecare and profiling beds adjust to help with comfortable positioning, getting in and out, and pressure relief, with ultra-low floor beds and rotating stand-assist beds for those who need extra support to transfer safely. Bariatric and paediatric versions are also available.
-
Pressure Care Mattresses & Cushions
Dynamic and static air mattresses and cushions help reduce the risk of pressure damage for anyone spending long periods sitting or lying down, with standard and bariatric sizes covering most body types.

Riser recliner chairs make it easier to stand up and sit down safely, while specialist tilt-in-space and porter chairs support more complex seating needs in care settings. Bariatric and high seat options are also available.

Hoists & Moving and Handling
Hoists, stand aids and transfer aids help carers move someone safely between a bed, chair or bathroom with less physical strain, with gantry hoists offering a free-standing alternative to permanent ceiling or wall fittings. Bariatric models are available up to higher weight capacities.

Shower chairs, commodes and shower trolleys make washing and personal care safer and more comfortable, with tilt-in-space, electric and bariatric options to suit different levels of need.

-
Paediatric Equipment

Frequently Asked Questions
What mobility equipment can I hire?
Equipment available to hire spans wheelchairs, powerchairs, mobility scooters, profiling beds, pressure care mattresses, riser recliner chairs, hoists, bathroom aids, walking aids, and dedicated bariatric and paediatric ranges. Each category includes multiple models so the size, weight capacity and level of support can be matched to the person using it.
Is there a minimum hire period?
The minimum hire period is two weeks. A delivery and collection fee is paid alongside the initial two-week hire cost at the point of order, and you can extend the hire for as long as you need afterwards.
Do you deliver nationwide and how fast can equipment arrive?
Delivery is available across the UK, with next-day delivery offered on most equipment depending on the item and your location. Larger or more complex equipment such as beds and hoists may need a little extra time to schedule installation.
How long can I hire equipment for?
Hire periods run from a minimum of two weeks up to several months or longer, and can be extended if your needs change. This covers a short recovery, a holiday, or an ongoing requirement without committing to a purchase.
Can I hire if an NHS team or occupational therapist has suggested it?
Yes, you can hire directly without needing a referral. NHS teams and occupational therapists sometimes suggest Mobility Hire to patients who want to explore the private hire route, and we are happy to support equipment choices in these cases. You do not need any documentation or formal referral to hire from us.
Can I try equipment before I buy it?
Yes, our try before you buy option lets you hire equipment first and put the cost towards a purchase later if you decide to keep it. This means you can test how well the equipment suits your needs before committing to buy.
What happens if I buy equipment and my circumstances change?
Our guaranteed buy-back option means equipment you have bought from us can be sold back if your circumstances change. This reduces the risk of being left with equipment you no longer need.
Is delivery and installation included in the price?
A delivery and collection fee is paid alongside your initial two-week hire and covers professional drop-off and pick-up by our own team. Installation, where the equipment needs it, is included as part of that service, so once everything arrives there's nothing extra to arrange.
Can you deliver in time for a hospital discharge?
We regularly fit deliveries around hospital discharge dates. Let our team know the discharge date when you order and we will schedule delivery and any equipment setup to be ready in time.
What happens if the equipment develops a fault during my hire?
Support is available 24 hours a day on 0800 111 6234. If anything needs sorting out during your hire, contact us and we'll arrange a repair or replacement.
Do you hire bariatric and paediatric equipment?
We hire both bariatric and paediatric equipment. Every category includes bariatric options rated for higher weight capacities, and we have a dedicated paediatric range of wheelchairs, powerchairs, beds and bathing equipment sized specifically for children and young people.
How do I arrange collection when I've finished?
When you're done, contact our team and we'll collect everything, so there's nothing extra to store or sell on.
How do I choose the right equipment if I'm not sure?
Call the Mobility Hire team on 0800 111 6234 and we'll help you match the right product to the person's size, weight and level of support, or browse the categories on this page to compare options online.
