Short to long term hire available in Torbay & surrounding areas:

New Ability offer a wide rang of Scooters, Wheelchairs and mobility equipment for hire. Our hire services are popular with tourists visiting the area that are unable to bring their own equipment with them. We have a established working relationship with many of the hotels and apartments around the Torbay, and we are able to arrange delivery and collection of the equipment so that is there for when you arrive and collect it once your visit is over.

We can also provide equipment to assist with recuperation following surgery. We offer flexible hire terms based around the needs of the individual.

• Transit Wheelchairs 

Transit chairs feature small wheels to both the front and rear of the chair. These chairs are designed to be maneuvered by the pusher of the chair only. As a result of the small rears on the rear of the chair they tend to be lighter than self propelled types.

• Mobility Scooters 

We offer a range of models for hire. Which scooter is best suited depends on a few factors such as the users weight, where you are staying and the type of journeys you may wish to do on the scooter. 

We can hire “Boot” scooters, that are designed to easily dismantle to fit into boots of cars or coaches. These scooters are ideal if you plan on traveling to various sites by car or coach then wish to use the scooter to travel around your destination.

We also provide “Pavement 4MPH” scooters that are nimble and designed to be used around towns and the general local area. These types of scooter do not dismantle or fold up for taking in cars or on coaches, but do offer more comfort than a boot scooter. These scooters also have larger batteries than the boot scooters which allows them to travel a larger distance to be covered on a single charge.

The largest scooters we hire are class 3, 8 MPH scooters. These scooters are slightly larger than the pavement scooters. These scooters are able to accommodate user weights of up to 18 stone and offer even more comfort and range.

We also hire out :

• Commodes , Mowbrays & Freestanding toilet frames

• 3 & 4 Wheel walkers (rollators) & Zimmer frames

Other items are sometimes available on request.
