Keeping your mobility product serviced is vital to keeping it safe. In order to help with your peace of mind Indy's servicing department is able to service and repair a wide variety of mobility products keeping them in tip top condition and keeping you safe.
Hoists
We recommend that you get your hoist checked out at least every 6 months. This is in accordance with the Health and Safety Executive 'lifting operations and lifting equipment regulations' or LOLER for short. Your equipmet will need a once yearly service and a six monthly LOLER testing in order to check that it is functioning correctly.
Mobility Beds
We recommend that you get your electric mobility bed serviced at least once a year to make sure that the rise and recline motors are working properly and to make sure that the workings don't freeze and leave you stuck in an uncomfortable sleeping position.
Disability Chairs
We recommend that you get your electric mobility chairs serviced once every 12 months. This is to ensure that the emergency batteries are charged and that the rise and recline mechanism is in correct working order.
Wheelchairs
Indy recommends that you get your wheel chair serviced once a year to check that key features such as the brakes and the tyres are in good condition and aren't becoming overly worn and dangerous to use.
Powerchairs
We recommend that powerchairs are serviced every 12 months. It's absolutely vital with these chairs that brakes, tyres and motors all function correctly, especially as they are often the primary mode of transportation for users. As I'm sure your granny used to tell you an ounce of protection is worth a pound of cure and this really is one of those situations where it's better not to wait for something to break before getting it looked at.
3 Wheeled and 4 Wheeled Walkers
We recommend that you get your rollator type walking aids serviced at 12 monthly intervals. This is to make sure that brakes are working and that the framework is solid to ensure that it will always give you the support you need when you need it.
Mobility Scooters
We recommend that you get your mobility scooter serviced at least once a year. There are many things that can go wrong with your scooter such as worn tyres and brakes that can seriously affect your abilty to stay safe when out and about on them.
