Embracing freedom: The evolution of Lightweight Mobility solutions

In this issue of Healthcare Matters, we are pleased to feature Lightweight Mobility as our Healthcare & Mobility Equipment Company of the Month.

Founded in 2022 by Sean Taylor, Lightweight Mobility swiftly emerged as a pivotal player in elevating the mobility and enhancing the lives of individuals with disabilities. Its mission revolves around facilitating clients and clinicians in sourcing optimal products paired with tailored clinical solutions to meet diverse needs.

With over 35 years of collective experience in the healthcare mobility and rehabilitation sector, Sean and his team are dedicated to delivering unparalleled service and support to individuals of all ages across the UK. By partnering with renowned global manufacturers, the company endeavours to match clients with the perfect products that meet their unique requirements.

“We work with individuals, clinicians, purchasing groups, case managers, residential and nursing homes. We are not a standard mobility company that sells standard products. We pride ourselves in helping clients, clinicians and healthcare facilities in finding the right equipment that works for them and the care providers.”

“We provide assessments, sales and servicing of mobility and other equipment, we also help clinicians look for equipment and trials and help with the populating of reports. Our services then enable the clinicians to concentrate on the clinical application of these. We also have a rental service working on both a short or long-term basis for many products that enable case managers to justify the capital outlay for the client,” stated Sean.

Based in Rugby, Lightweight Mobility is ideally situated to meet the needs of clients located in both the North and South of the UK. “We provide nationwide coverage through strategic partnerships with leading experts across the UK, each boasting extensive experience in the field. Our network allows us to seamlessly match the expertise and products to the specific needs of clients, ensuring tailored solutions delivered locally,” added Sean.

The company’s product range typically includes lightweight manual and powered wheelchairs, mobility scooters, sensory products, chair lifts, car hoists and other assistive devices designed to meet the diverse needs of users with varying levels of mobility impairment.

One product range worth noting is the ADELPHI care chair. Manufactured by Primacare, this British manufacturer is a specialist of seating solutions and an expert in assistive technology. Lightweight Mobility stock over 13 different models of the Primacare range from the ADELPHI TRIO to the AFFINITY. This range is truly flexible and very popular, offering chairs designed for home comfort and specialist healthcare settings.

For clients interested in portable carbon fibre lightweight powered mobility options, Lightweight Mobility stock the QUICKIE Q50 R Carbon. Known as the ideal option for consideration when choosing a folding powerchair, it weighs a mere 14.5kg (without batteries) and is foldable within seconds.

This personalised service, a rarity in the industry, enhances accessibility and ensures you find the ideal solution.
