Why it matters

The chairs that keep a hospital moving

Porter chairs are some of the hardest-working equipment on any site. Keeping them safe and available matters to patients and staff alike.

Patients keep moving

Porter chairs move patients between wards, departments and theatres all day. A chair out of action slows everyone down.

Worn parts fail first

Castors, brakes, footrests and armrests take a beating. Planned servicing finds the wear before it becomes a safety risk.

One supplier, start to finish

We supply new chairs and then service and repair them, so every chair is looked after from the day it arrives.

Sales, servicing and repairs for all types

Shepherd sells, services and repairs all types of porter chair, whatever the make. Whether you need a handful of new chairs for a ward, planned maintenance for every chair on site, or a quick repair to get one back into use, it's one team and one point of contact.

New porter chairs

We supply porter chairs to suit how and where you move patients, and we'll help you choose the right type for your site. Every chair we supply can be barcoded and added to your servicing schedule from the day it arrives. See equipment sales and supply.

Planned servicing

Porter chairs go on your planned preventive maintenance schedule, quarterly, six-monthly or annually, alongside your beds, trolleys and other equipment. Our engineers check the castors, brakes, footrests, armrests, upholstery, frame and accessories, and record the result against each chair.

Fast repairs

Our engineers carry an extensive range of spare parts, so many porter chair repairs, such as castors, brakes and footrests, are completed on the first visit. As approved dealers, we only fit authentic parts from the original manufacturer or a recommended producer.

Records for every chair

Every chair is barcoded on our own asset tagging system. After each visit you can log in and download a bespoke electronic report showing each chair's condition, the work done and anything that needs attention.
