Choose hire only or hire-to-buy
Hire only
Request a lift chair for an agreed rental period without committing to purchase. This may suit temporary needs, a change in care arrangements or use while your usual chair is unavailable.
- Discuss your start date and expected hire duration.
- Confirm the chair, rental rate and minimum period.
- Agree delivery and return arrangements before booking.
Hire-to-buy
Start with an agreed hire arrangement and discuss an option to purchase. Ask for the hire-to-buy terms with your initial quotation so you can compare the total cost before deciding.
- Confirm which model and arrangement are eligible.
- Get the purchase price and any applicable hire credit in writing.
- Confirm the decision period, fees and ownership-transfer terms.
Clear terms before you book: hire payments do not automatically transfer ownership. Any credit towards purchase, eligibility period and remaining balance must be specified in your written agreement.

Check the chair and your space before hiring
Open the checks below to prepare your enquiry. If an occupational therapist has recommended particular seating dimensions or functions, include those requirements.
1. Seat size and user requirements
Provide the required seat width, depth, height and weight capacity. Tell us whether independent backrest and footrest adjustment is needed. For complex positioning or pressure-care needs, use your clinician’s seating recommendations rather than choosing by appearance alone.
2. Room space and delivery access
Measure the doorway and narrowest point along the delivery route. Tell us about stairs, lifts and tight turns. The room needs clearance for the complete lifting and reclining movement; ask for the selected chair’s operating footprint before booking.
3. Controls, power and setup
Check that the user or carer can operate the handset and that a suitable power outlet is accessible. Confirm assembly, positioning and any backup-power features for the actual chair. Outside our local setup area, arrange appropriate assistance before delivery.

Lift chair hire and hire-to-buy FAQs
Can I hire an electric recliner without buying it?
Yes. Ask for hire only and tell us how long you expect to need the chair. We confirm the available model, minimum hire period, rental charges and return arrangements in your quotation.
Can I buy the chair after hiring it?
Hire-to-buy is available by agreement. Ask about eligibility and the purchase option when booking. Any hire credit, deadlines and balance payable must be confirmed in writing; rental payments do not automatically result in ownership.
Do you deliver lift chairs nationwide?
Yes, we offer Australia-wide delivery. Availability, freight charges and timeframes depend on the chair, your postcode and site access. Installation and setup are only available in our local area around Smithfield.
Is installation included with interstate delivery?
No. Nationwide delivery does not include an Australia-wide installation service. Confirm the freight service level and arrange suitable local assistance with unloading, assembly and positioning where required.
Are the chairs in the comparison table available now?
The table shows options from our product range. Current hire availability, sizes, upholstery and hire-to-buy eligibility must be confirmed for your requested dates before booking.
Can I request a bariatric lift chair?
Yes. Our comparison includes models listed with capacities up to 250kg. Tell us the required capacity and seating dimensions so we can check suitable availability. Confirm the exact chair’s rating before accepting the booking.
What is the minimum hire period?
The minimum period and extension terms are confirmed in your quotation. Send your preferred start date and expected duration so we can provide the relevant options.
Can I hire a chair while recovering from surgery?
You can enquire for temporary recovery use. Follow your treating team’s advice about seating, transfers and positioning, and provide any recommended chair measurements or functions when requesting a quote.
Can you provide a quote for my plan manager or care provider?
Yes. Request an itemised quotation and tell us which organisation needs it. Funding and approval must be confirmed with the relevant plan manager or provider before booking; a quote does not guarantee funding.
What if there is a problem during the hire?
Contact Gilani Engineering with the model and fault details so we can advise the next step under your hire agreement. Stop using the chair if it is unsafe. Our physical repair service is local; interstate support arrangements are confirmed case by case.
Request a lift chair hire or hire-to-buy quote
Send your preferred model, delivery postcode, start date, expected hire period and any seating requirements. Let us know whether you want hire only, hire-to-buy, or both options quoted.
For a local installation enquiry, include your suburb. For all deliveries, tell us about stairs, lifts and restricted access.
The email button opens a draft in your email app. Review and send it to submit your enquiry. A quotation request does not reserve a chair.
