Helping event days keep moving
A Raleigh company with its own crew and its own equipment, at fairs and festivals in North Carolina and beyond, and in the Triangle.
Based in Raleigh
On-site equipment. Clear event guidance.
Mobility Concepts LLC rents mobility equipment at participating fairs, festivals and civic events in North Carolina and beyond. We have rented at the NC State Fair for more than 15 years. The service is built around the day itself: a pickup point at each event, plain rental details and a phone number that reaches a person.
We also rent scooters and wheelchairs to people in Raleigh, Durham, Cary and nearby towns, for a trip or a family visit. Every personal rental is by quote.
Our own gate system grew into Hitchpost, rental software made by Firmkit in Cary. It ran our gates at the 2026 NC State Fair and Raleigh Wide Open. Read how it was built.
