FAQs

What weight capacity should I look for in bariatric equipment?

Bariatric equipment typically starts at weight capacities of 180 kg (28 stone) and extends to 300 kg (47 stone) or higher for specialist models. Always choose equipment with a safe working load that comfortably exceeds the user’s weight. For bariatric hoists, both the hoist and sling must have compatible weight ratings. Our team can help you select appropriate heavy duty mobility equipment based on specific requirements.

Are bariatric wheelchairs more difficult to manoeuvre?

Modern bariatric wheelchairs are designed with enhanced manoeuvrability despite their reinforced construction. Whilst they’re heavier than standard wheelchairs due to stronger frames, features like larger wheels, improved steering mechanisms and ergonomic push handles make them manageable for carers. Self-propelling models are available for users with good upper body strength. These plus size mobility aids balance strength with usability.

Can bariatric hospital beds fit in standard bedrooms?

Many bariatric hospital beds are designed with home use in mind, though they are wider than standard beds. Typical widths range from 120 cm to 140 cm compared to standard 90 cm beds. Measure your bedroom space carefully, allowing room for carers to work around the bed. We offer free surveys to assess whether bariatric equipment will fit your space and recommend the most suitable options.

Do you stock bariatric mobility aids for outdoor use?

Yes, our range includes bariatric mobility aids designed for both indoor and outdoor use. This includes heavy duty mobility scooters with reinforced frames and enhanced battery capacity, as well as bariatric wheelchairs suitable for various terrains. Outdoor bariatric equipment features weather-resistant materials and robust construction for reliable performance in different conditions.

Are bariatric hoists available for home use?

Absolutely. We stock both mobile and ceiling-mounted bariatric hoists suitable for home environments. Mobile bariatric hoists offer flexibility to move between rooms, whilst ceiling systems provide smooth transfers in dedicated care spaces. Both options are available with appropriate weight capacities and compatible slings. We provide free ceiling track surveys to help you choose the right bariatric equipment for home care.
