Ex-Hire & Clearance: How to Buy Quality Mobility Gear for Less

Our Ex-Hire & Clearance range is where you'll find quality mobility equipment at a reduced price — ex-rental units, shop-soiled items, discontinued lines and end-of-range stock. It's the smartest place to look if you want a genuine bargain on reliable gear. This guide explains what these items are, what to expect, and how to grab one before it sells.

What does "ex-hire" mean?

Ex-hire items have been part of our rental fleet — wheelchairs, walkers, lift chairs and similar. When they come off hire, we check them over, clean and service them, then offer them at a lower price than new. They've been looked after and maintained, so you get dependable equipment for less.

What about clearance & shop-soiled stock?

Clearance covers discontinued models, end-of-range items and occasionally shop-soiled units (for example, ex-display or lightly marked from handling). The product does its job perfectly — it's simply not brand-new-in-box, which is reflected in the price.

What to expect on condition

  • Checked & cleaned — ex-hire units are serviced and sanitised before resale.
  • Honest descriptions — each listing notes the condition and any cosmetic marks, so there are no surprises.
  • Cosmetic, not functional — any wear is typically cosmetic; the equipment works as intended.
  • Sold as-is — because these are second-hand, ex-hire and clearance items are sold as-is, without our standard new-product warranty; the discounted price reflects that. You still get friendly NZ-based after-sales help.

Why buy ex-hire or clearance?

You get quality, NZ-supported equipment at a lower price, with the same friendly local after-sales help as any purchase. It's ideal if you need something reliable on a budget, or for short-to-medium-term needs where new isn't essential.

How to grab a bargain before it's gone

Stock is one-off and rotates constantly — when a unit sells, it's gone. Check the collection regularly, and if you see something suitable, don't wait. If you're after a particular item (a specific wheelchair or lift chair, say), tell us and we'll let you know when a matching ex-hire unit becomes available.

Ex-hire & clearance FAQs

Is ex-hire equipment reliable?

Yes — ex-hire units are serviced, cleaned and checked before resale, and any marks are cosmetic. You get dependable, NZ-supported equipment at a lower price than new.

Does ex-hire or clearance stock come with a warranty?

Because these items are second-hand, they're sold as-is without our standard new-product warranty — the discount reflects that. Every unit is still fully serviced, sanitised and in good working order, and you get the same friendly NZ-based after-sales support. Ask us if you'd like more detail on any item.

How often does new clearance stock arrive?

Regularly, but it's one-off — units come and go as they leave our hire fleet or ranges change. Check back often, or tell us what you're after and we'll keep an eye out.
