Support for safer and more dependable wheelchair use
A wheelchair is used for essential daily mobility, so loose, worn or damaged components should not be ignored. A repair assessment helps identify the source of the problem and determine whether adjustment, maintenance or component replacement may be required.
What a wheelchair repair assessment considers
Reported Problem
What is happening, when it occurs and how it affects the wheelchair during everyday use.
Wheelchair Condition
The relevant frame, wheels, brakes, seating, fittings or powered components are checked.
Repair Suitability
The wheelchair’s condition is considered before adjustment, servicing or replacement is recommended.
Parts and Requirements
Compatible-part availability, repair requirements and any relevant service limitations are confirmed.
Common wheelchair problems we check
Wheelchair problems may develop gradually through regular use or appear after damage to a component. An inspection helps identify the affected area and whether adjustment, maintenance or replacement may be required.
Brakes and Wheel Locks
Brakes that feel loose, do not hold properly or are difficult to engage.
Wheels and Castors
Wheels or front castors that wobble, drag, turn unevenly or make unusual noises.
Tyres, Tubes and Bearings
Worn tyres, punctures, pressure loss or wheel bearings that no longer move smoothly.
Frame and Fittings
Loose fittings, unusual movement, frame instability or difficulty folding the wheelchair.
Armrests and Footrests
Loose, damaged, difficult-to-adjust or missing armrest and footrest components.
Seat and Back Upholstery
Torn, stretched, loose or damaged seat and backrest upholstery.
Alignment and Movement
Pulling to one side, uneven movement or changes in wheelchair handling and stability.
Powered Components
Battery, charger, joystick, controller or motor concerns on powered wheelchairs.
Unusual Sounds
Clicking, grinding, squeaking or other sounds that appear during movement or adjustment.
Wheelchairs and components we assess
The appropriate service depends on the wheelchair type, model, condition and availability of compatible parts. The wheelchair should be inspected before repair suitability is confirmed.
Manual Wheelchairs
Standard self-propelled and attendant-propelled wheelchairs with manual wheels, brakes and folding mechanisms.

Wheelchairs with reclining, tilt, head-support or positioning components that require inspection.

Powered Wheelchairs
Battery-powered wheelchairs with motors, controllers, joysticks, chargers and electrical connections.

Provide the Brand and Model

Describe the Problem
Explain what is happening, when it started and whether it occurs continuously or only during certain movements.
Bring Relevant Accessories
Bring the charger, controller, cushion, removable component or other related accessory when it may be connected to the problem.
Stop Using It if Unsafe
