This equipment ranges from power chairs, mobility scooters, hospital beds, patient lifts, ramps, shower chairs, handicap vans, parts and accessories, and much more.

We realize that a lot of people that need handicap equipment don't get proper insurance coverage, their copay's are too high, or perhaps their insurance company is taking too long to provide the equipment.

The practice of sustainability does not stop at mobility & medical equipment. The showroom and office space at Mobility Equipment Recyclers is replete with re-purposed and recycled materials, from desks in the offices spaces to tables in the break area. We pride ourselves in our sustainability and social venture, to do everything we can to protect the world we have been provided with.
