Patient Stair Transfer 160kg Valet
Hercules Patient Stair Transfer Valet Service – Home to Hospital Support Australia
with integrated seat
Available across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart and all of regional Australia
A Smarter Way to Get Your Loved One to Their Appointment
For families who need help getting a loved one safely down the stairs before a medical appointment, hospital visit, rehabilitation session, or community activity, Hercules provides a professional stair transfer valet service that handles the hardest part of the journey: the stairs.
Unlike standard patient transport providers such as NSW Health PTS, National Patient Transport, St John Ambulance, Ambulance Victoria, ComfortDelGro NPT, MediRide, Wilson Medic One, Medical Edge, Absolute Medical Response, CareFlight, HART Services, and Australian Red Cross Transport, Hercules is not a transport company. We are Australia’s specialist stair climbing experts. We get your loved one safely down the stairs using professional-grade equipment, then you can drive them to their appointment yourself at your own time schedule.
How It Works:
-
Book Hercules – schedule your stair transfer valet at a time that suits your appointment
-
Our operator arrives at your home with the appropriate stairclimber
-
Safe, dignified transfer – your loved one is gently assisted up or down the stairs in a comfortable upholstered seat using specialist equipment
-
You drive – take your family member to their appointment in your own vehicle
-
We return for the trip home if needed
