Equipment washers for loan and hire services

Every wheelchair, walker and mobility aid that comes back from a client has to be cleaned before it goes out again. At high volumes, washing by hand becomes a bottleneck. An Aqua Phase washer cleans several items per 3, 5 or 7 minute cycle, so returned equipment is ready to reissue sooner.

What loan services use Aqua Phase for

  • Returned wheelchairs, with front and rear wheel rotation during the wash
  • Several walkers, stands and smaller aids per cycle
  • Beds and larger items in the AQ-4000
  • Small parts and accessories on utility wash trays

Why loan services choose it

  • Faster turnaround: wash several items in one short cycle instead of one at a time by hand
  • Consistent results: every returned item is cleaned the same way before it goes back out
  • Lower labour cost: about 2 minutes of staff time per load, compared with 30 to 90 minutes per item by hand
  • Flexible loading: wall-mounted studs in the AQ-3000 and AQ-3500 let you add trays or your own racking to suit the equipment you handle
  • Local support: maintenance, spare parts and consumables from our Australian team

Recommended models

  • AQ-4000: for high-turnover services washing several items per cycle, plus beds. Optional pass-through doors and conveyor floor.
  • AQ-3500: takes larger chairs or several walkers and stands per wash.
  • AQ-3000: for smaller loan services with limited space.

Common questions

How many items can we wash per cycle?

It depends on the model and the equipment. The AQ-4000 has a 1022 × 1201 × 2362 mm chamber that takes several wheelchairs, walkers or stands per wash. The AQ-3500 takes larger chairs or several smaller items.

Can the washer handle small parts and accessories?

Yes. Utility wash trays hold smaller items, and the AQ-3000 and AQ-3500 have wall-mounted studs so you can fit trays or your own racking.

How long is a wash cycle?

3, 5 or 7 minutes, plus about 2 minutes to load and unload.
