Used, inspected & serviced
Used tilt-in-space wheelchairs — Victoria, BC
We sell used tilt-in-space wheelchairs in Victoria, BC — PDG Fuze, Broda, Neox and Maple Leaf tilt chairs among others — inspected, professionally cleaned and serviced, at a fraction of new cost. 5 tilt-in-space wheelchairs in stock, priced from $1,400 to $2,000. Delivery from $150, and every tilt chair can be fitted on site for an hour before you decide.
A tilt-in-space wheelchair tips the whole seat and back together, keeping the hip and knee angles the same, instead of opening the back angle like a recliner. That is what lets someone who cannot shift their own weight get pressure off the seat, rest without sliding forward, and stay upright enough to eat and take part. They are the chair of choice in complex care, and they are expensive new — which is why a properly serviced used one is such good value.
Tilt chairs are where fit matters most, and where a bad fit does the most harm. So for every tilt chair we bring it to the client for a one-hour fitting — measured, adjusted, transferred into and out of — before anyone commits. Most bookings come from occupational and physical therapists fitting a client; you do not need to be one to book.

What to check when buying a used tilt-in-space wheelchair
- Tilt range and mechanism. Most tilt chairs offer somewhere around 0–45° of tilt. Check the full range under the person's weight and that the release lever and gas struts hold at any angle without drifting.
- Tilt only, or tilt and recline. Some chairs add an opening back angle. Recline helps with care tasks and some conditions but also encourages sliding; a clinician's guidance matters here.
- Seat width and depth. Listed on every chair. Tilt chairs are often used for many hours a day, so the fit tolerance is tighter than on a basic manual chair.
- Seating and support. Laterals, headrests, a pressure-relief cushion (a ROHO or similar) and a contoured back turn a frame into a seating system. Some of our chairs come with these; the listing says.
- Elevating leg rests and footplates. Check they lock, swing away for transfers and are the right length.
- Weight of the chair and who pushes it. Tilt chairs are heavy. If a caregiver will be pushing over carpet, thresholds or ramps, that is worth thinking about.
What we check before listing a tilt-in-space wheelchair
- Tilt mechanism cycled through its full range under load; gas struts and release cables checked and replaced if they leak or drift.
- Frame and seat pan checked for cracks and play; castors, wheels, bearings and brakes serviced.
- Leg rests, armrests, headrest and lateral hardware checked for secure locking and adjustment.
- Cushion and back inspected; pressure-relief cushions are checked for function and cleaned or replaced.
- Whole chair professionally cleaned and disinfected.
- Seat width, depth, height and included seating recorded on the listing as the chair is currently configured.
Fitting a tilt chair
The same measurements as any wheelchair apply — hip width, thigh length, lower leg length, shoulder height — but with tilt chairs the details of positioning matter more: where laterals sit, the headrest position in tilt, whether the person slides, and how transfers are done. This is exactly what the one-hour fitting is built around, and why we would rather do it than guess from a form. Have any chair the person currently uses on hand; what is shimmed and where it rubs tells us a great deal.

Tilt-in-Space Wheelchairs: questions people ask
What is the difference between a tilt-in-space and a reclining wheelchair?
Tilt-in-space tips the seat and back together, so the angle at the hips and knees stays the same and the person does not slide; it redistributes pressure and gives rest while keeping them supported. A recliner opens the angle between seat and back, which is useful for some care tasks but encourages sliding and shear on the skin. Many complex-care chairs offer both. Which one, and how much of each, is a clinical decision that we will happily fit around.
How much does a used tilt-in-space wheelchair cost in BC?
Our used tilt chairs are generally priced from about $1,500 to $2,500 depending on the make, model and the seating that comes with it, with the exact price on each listing. New, a comparable tilt-in-space chair with seating is commonly several times that. Delivery and setup starts at $150 in Greater Victoria; a $150 trial fitting is available and refunded on purchase.
Who is a tilt-in-space wheelchair for?
People who cannot shift their own weight or sit upright for long without support: after a stroke, with advanced Parkinson's, MS, ALS, cerebral palsy, dementia with poor sitting tolerance, or any condition where pressure relief and positioning have to be done for them. They are common in care homes and for people being cared for at home with a caregiver.
Can a therapist book the fitting for a client?
Yes, and most fittings are booked by occupational or physical therapists. The hour is shaped around what a clinician would assess — measurement, adjustment, positioning, a transfer check — and having the client, the therapist and a caregiver present makes it most useful. Book it through the request form or by phone.
Do your tilt chairs come with cushions and headrests?
Some do, and the listing says what is included — for example a chair listed "with ROHO cushion". Where seating is not included we can supply cushions, headrests and laterals to match, and set them up at the fitting.
Do you buy used tilt-in-space wheelchairs?
Yes. Tilt-in-space wheelchairs are one of the five equipment types we buy. Send photos including the label or serial plate through the sell page. We do not buy any power mobility.
