Power Wheelchair Delivery And Training Services

Delivery day. It's finally here. Now that your power chair is on its way to your home, find out what to expect once it arrives.

It's truly a time for celebration when a power wheelchair arrives at its destination. Pride comes with the delivery of each Hoveround because we know that our superior mobility products genuinely improve the quality of life for the power chair recipient.

But, that's not all. With White Glove Delivery¹, a highly-skilled Rehab Technology Supplier (RTS) personally delivers the power wheelchair, provides individualized training and carefully instructs the mobility client on the proper and safe use of their power wheelchair.

In this and other important ways, an RTS assures the maximum in comfort, safety and ease-of-use for the power chair customer.

Power Chair Delivery and Training

Preparation for the actual delivery begins the moment an RTS receives a client's paperwork, explains Hoveround Field Services Trainer, Jeff Palmer. We conduct a thorough review of the equipment order to be sure the needs of the client are understood, and that the service van is fully-equipped with the necessary parts to complete the delivery event in the field.
