Mobility & Transfer in South Africa
Available Mobility & Transfer Models

In the South African healthcare context, Mobility & Transfer refers to the range of specialised equipment and assistive devices designed to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of patients. This encompasses both independent patient ambulation and assisted transfers between surfaces, such as beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and hoists. The primary function of these solutions is to enhance patient independence, reduce the physical strain on caregivers, and crucially, minimise the risk of injury to both patients and healthcare professionals. By providing robust and ergonomically designed equipment, we empower healthcare facilities across South Africa to deliver superior patient care while optimising operational efficiency and adhering to stringent safety protocols.

In South Africa, the need for advanced mobility and transfer equipment spans a wide spectrum of healthcare facilities and patient populations. From large, complex teaching hospitals to smaller community clinics, ensuring safe and dignified patient movement is paramount. This is particularly critical in departments dealing with acute care, rehabilitation, and long-term patient management. The unique healthcare landscape of South Africa, with its diverse patient demographics and varying resource levels, underscores the importance of adaptable and reliable solutions for mobility and transfer.

Ensuring the safe and effective integration of your new mobility and transfer equipment is paramount. Our streamlined installation process, tailored for the South African healthcare landscape, is designed for minimal disruption and maximum operational readiness. We handle everything from initial site assessment to final calibration, providing peace of mind for your facility and enhanced care for your patients.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond delivery. We understand the unique logistical considerations in South Africa and have developed a robust installation protocol to ensure a smooth and efficient setup of your chosen mobility and transfer solutions.

The cost of mobility and transfer equipment in South Africa can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as the type of device, its features, brand, and whether it's purchased new or refurbished. These essential aids play a crucial role in patient care and independence, and understanding the investment is key for healthcare providers.

New Devices: For brand-new mobility and transfer equipment, you can expect a broad price range. Basic manual transfer aids like slide sheets or transfer boards might start from around R500 to R2,500. More advanced equipment such as standing hoists or patient lifters, especially electric models with sophisticated features and weight capacities, can range from R15,000 to R70,000 or more. Powered mobility aids like advanced wheelchairs or scooters designed for significant user needs can also fall within the R20,000 to R100,000+ bracket.

Refurbished Devices: Investing in refurbished medical equipment offers a cost-effective alternative without compromising on functionality. Refurbished mobility and transfer devices, such as pre-owned patient hoists or quality wheelchairs, can typically be purchased for 30% to 60% less than their new counterparts. This makes them an attractive option for facilities with budget constraints or for those looking to acquire multiple units. For example, a refurbished electric patient lifter that might retail for R40,000 new could be found for R18,000 to R28,000 depending on its condition and the supplier.

It's important to note that these are indicative price ranges, and specific quotes will depend on detailed product specifications, warranty, delivery, and any required accessories or servicing packages. We recommend obtaining tailored quotes from reputable suppliers to ensure you find the most suitable and cost-effective solution for your needs.
