Checklist when buying a secondhand wheelchair
Although buying a secondhand wheelchair may look as though its a cheaper alternative over a new one, by purchasing the wrong type, one not suitable or just plain faulty may prove to be more expensive than originally thought. The following is a simple checklist that should assist when purchasing a secondhand. The list is by no means exhaustive and common sense should also prevail when making the purchase. • Are the tyres properly inflated? • Are the wheels and castors free running? • Is the metal rim of the wheels tight and undamaged? • Do the brakes work? • Is the cushion intact, and suitably bouncy? • Is the back canvas clean and intact? • Are the arm rests appropriate and undamaged? • Are the footplates at the right height and undamaged, do they swing open correctly? • Is the frame clean and intact? • Are any lap straps clean and undamaged? • Finally, is the chair the right size and suitable?
