Under the astute leadership of Director Justin Luke, local mobility equipment provider Equip U combines industry expertise, personalised service and dedication to enhancing lives. Justin’s unwavering commitment to independence and tailored solutions echoes through the very ethos of Equip U. This commitment extends beyond sales; it's about understanding individual requirements.
“I'm an independent small dealer,” Justin said. “My relationships are direct with the suppliers, giving us the advantage to sell what best meets our customers' needs. Plus, we’re able to save people money because we do go direct to the supplier.”
Founded in 2020, Equip U has rapidly expanded over the last few months, driven by a mission to revolutionise accessibility. Justin’s journey traces back to his discovery of a pivotal piece of equipment, the Action Trackchair, igniting his passion for aiding those with mobility challenges. This one particular piece of specialised equipment highlights the broad range of products offered by Equip U, offering everything from the most unique and elaborate aids to hospital beds, recliners, mobility scooters, shower chairs, walkers, wheelchairs and hoists.
Growing up in the Burdekin, Justin worked as a police officer for 17 years before entering the allied health sector, expanding his expertise and portfolio of businesses and organisational roles across north Queensland. He said in his role in the police, he liked to stand for what was right, fair and just.
“I think in the disability and mobility fields, it’s very similar in the sense that I believe people should have the same access to what able bodied people have,” he said.
Equip U’s tagline, ‘We come to you,’ epitomises the business’s commitment to accessibility, ensuring aid reaches those who need it, wherever they may be. Justin’s team will travel across the country to wherever they are needed, ensuring everyone has access to the equipment that is going to improve their mobility.
But Equip U isn't just about products; it's about empowerment. Justin passionately advocates for funding accessibility, ensuring every individual knows their entitlements, contributing to the goal of keeping people in their homes longer and enhancing their quality of life.
Equip U serves the community as an embodiment of compassion and a driving force behind inclusivity and independence. With their unwavering commitment and personalised service, they've proven that when empathy meets expertise, lives are transformed.
