Factors to Consider

Queensland transport requires medical documentation in the form of a doctors letter stating the reason this device is required for the user.

Persons should consider the following criteria when purchasing a mobility aid for use on public transport:

Weight
A boarding device (for example, a ramp) must be able to support a total weight of 300 kg which includes you, the mobility aid, carried goods and an assistant (if required). If the combined weight is more than 300 kg, it may not be possible for you to travel on your desired means of transport.
Dimensions
The mobility device should fit within an allocated space of 1300 mm by 800 mm. Have a maximum width of less than 750 mm (when measured at a height of up to 300 mm from the ground). Be able to fit through an accessible taxi door height of 1400 mm.
Orientation
Operators may determine the direction of travel according to the orientation of the allocated space. Operators are asked to be aware that many people prefer to face forwards to anticipate changes in the speed or direction of the trip.
Manoeuvrability
The mobility device should be able to turn 180 degrees within an area 2070 mm by 1540 mm.
Cross a horizontal gap up to 40 mm wide.
Mount a vertical rise (a bump) up to 12 mm.
Cross grating gaps up to 13 mm wide and 150 mm long.
Climb a 1:14 grade ramp unassisted.
Climb up to a 1:8 grade ramp unassisted where the ramp is less than 1520 mm long.
Climb a 1:4 grade ramp with assistance.
Brakes
Mobility aids need to have effective braking systems to maintain stability and be able to withstand acceleration, braking, cornering and pitching of conveyances.
Anchoring Devices
If anchoring devices are required by regulation, mobility aids need to be able to accept and travel with anchoring devices fitted.
Batteries
Batteries need to be adequately secured. Gel type batteries should be considered.
