Custom Equipment Design & Manufacturing

Bespoke Accessibility Solutions

When Off-the-Shelf Equipment doesn't fit

Every person with special needs has unique physical requirements, therapeutic goals, and daily challenges. Off-the-shelf accessibility equipment often fails to address these individual differences, forcing families to compromise on fit, function, or comfort.

At RBK Consulting, we don’t believe in compromise. We design and manufacture custom accessibility equipment in our South African workshop, creating solutions that work perfectly for your child’s or family member’s specific needs.

Our custom equipment is born from personal experience. We’ve searched for equipment for our daughter Rose and know firsthand the frustration of ill-fitting products. This drives us to create better solutions for South African families.

Custom accessibility equipment solutions

Standing Frames Designed for Your Child's Exact Needs

Standing frames are critical therapeutic equipment for children with celebral palsy and other mobility challenges, but finding the right fit is difficult. Children grow, change, and have unique postural needs that generic standing frames can't accomodate.

Custom Walkers, Gait Trainers & Mobility Equipment

When standard walkers, gait trainers, or mobility aids don't provide the support or functionality your family member needs, we design custom solutions that enable safer, more confident mobility.

Therapeutic & Excercise Equipment

Therapy equipment should support your family's specific therapeutic goals and excercise routines. We design custom equipment in consultation with occupational therapists and physiotherapists.

Custom Shower Chairs, Bath Supports & Bathroom Aids

Bathrooms are high-risk areas for people with mobility challenges. Generic bathroom equipment often doesn't fit standard South African bathrooms or provide adequate support for specific needs. Our custom solutions fit your exact space and needs.

From Consultation to Delivery: How we Create Your custom Equipment

Step 1

In-Depth Consultation

We discuss your family member's specific needs, challenges, and goals, review any existing equipment that's not working, and understand your budget and timeline.

Step 2

Assessment & Measurements

We conduct detailed physical measurements and postural assessments, document specific positioning requirements, photograph current equipment or positioning, and gather input from caregivers about daily use challenges.

Step 3

Design Development

We create initial design concepts with sketches and specifications, select appropriate materials for durability and comfort, incorporate safety features and adjustment mechanisms, and present design options with cost estimates.

Step 4

Approval & Refinement

You review designs and provide feedback, we make adjustments based on your input, create detailed technical drawings, and finalize materials, padding, and finishes.

Step 5

Manufacturing

Our workshop builds your custom equipment with quality materials, precision craftmanship, and attention to detail, following safety standards and therapeutic specifications, with regular quality checks throughout the build.

Step 6

Fitting & Adjustments

We deliver the completed equipment, conduct initial fitting and positioning, make any necessary adjustments for optimal fit, and train you and caregivers on proper use and care.

We remain available for questions, adjustments and modifications as needs change, and provide ongoing support and consultation.
