Try Before You Buy

Choosing the right assistive technology can be difficult from specifications alone. CAT’s Demo Equipment Loan Program gives you the opportunity to try selected equipment in your home, workplace or classroom before deciding whether it’s right for you.

We’ll help you identify an appropriate demo unit, confirm availability, and explain the loan and return process.

How it works

  • Request

    Tell us what you’re interested in borrowing and provide the requested information.

  • Confirm

    We’ll contact you to confirm eligibility, availability and the loan details.

  • Evaluate

    Try the equipment in your own environment and see how well it meets your needs.

  • Return

    Return the equipment using the agreed return method at the end of the loan period.
