Room set-up kits
A home-dialysis room works better when the space is clean, practical and easy to manage. Our room set-up range helps Gauteng households prepare for scheduled consumable deliveries, storage and day to day use at home.
What this section covers
This section brings together the main items households often need when preparing a room for home dialysis deliveries. That includes storage shelving, stock handling items, seating, scales and simple room set-up kits that help organise the space before regular drop-offs begin.
We supply and deliver these items from Midrand to households across Gauteng, including Johannesburg, Pretoria, the East Rand and the West Rand. Our role is to supply practical equipment and help you think through storage and layout. We do not provide medical care, training or advice, and we do not decide what consumables are needed. Prescribed consumables must be ordered through the patient’s own renal unit.
Why room planning matters at home
Deliveries can take up more space than many households expect, especially where cartons must stay dry, off the floor and easy to reach. Good room planning can make receiving, checking and storing each drop-off far simpler. It can also help reduce clutter in passages, spare rooms and living areas.
In Gauteng homes, practical details matter. Tiles can become slippery if packaging is stacked badly, small rooms can heat up quickly in summer, and load-shedding can disrupt normal routines. A simple organised layout helps the household keep access clear and avoid constant shifting of boxes from one corner to another.
- Leave enough walking space between shelving and the doorway.
- Keep cartons away from damp walls, bathroom spray and direct sun.
- Use a layout that allows older stock to be reached first.
- Choose equipment that suits the room size, not just the delivery volume.
What can be included in a room set-up kit
A room set-up kit is not one fixed package for every household. Some homes only need a simple storage arrangement and a scale, while others need a fuller set-up with shelving, a trolley and comfort items. The best choice depends on available floor space, who will move cartons, and how the room is used on non-delivery days.
- Boltless shelving for boxed consumables and household organisation.
- Stock rotation trolleys for moving items between storage and use areas.
- Bathroom or floor scales where a household needs a practical weighing option.
- Recliner chairs for comfort in the room where appropriate.
- Basic room organisation items to keep the area tidy and easier to manage.
We can also help households think through where each item should go so the room stays usable and not overfilled, even in a smaller townhouse or flat.
How to choose between the main options
If you are deciding between the items in this section, start with the room itself. Measure the wall length, ceiling height and door width in metres before choosing shelving or larger furniture. Also check whether the room is upstairs, near a bathroom, or shared with another use such as a study or guest room.
A practical comparison can help:
- Shelving: best when cartons need a fixed place off the floor and easy visual organisation.
- Trolleys: best when stock must be moved short distances inside the home.
- Scales: best when the household needs a stable, dedicated weighing spot.
- Recliner chairs: best when comfort and positioning in the room are a priority.
- Combined set-up kits: best when the room is being arranged from scratch and several needs must be covered together.
If space is tight, it is often better to choose fewer items that fit properly than to overcrowd the room. A clear room usually works better than a full one.
Planning for storage, access and household use
A well planned room should still feel like part of the home. That means looking at doors, windows, plug points, skirtings and the daily path people use through the room. Shelving should not block curtains, and larger items should not force cartons into damp corners or onto bathroom floors.
Many Gauteng households need a room to serve more than one purpose. In that case, storage should be arranged so that deliveries are contained to one side of the room, with a clear access route for checking and unpacking. It helps to keep heavier cartons lower down and leave top shelves for lighter items or household organisers, it also makes day to day access easier.
- Use wall space before taking up too much floor area.
- Keep enough turning space for a trolley where one is used.
- Place scales on a firm, level surface.
- Allow for cleaning around and under the main storage area.
Getting started with the right set-up
If you are preparing a room for scheduled deliveries, this section will help you compare the main options before choosing individual products. You can start with planning guidance if the room is still empty, or go straight to shelving, trolleys, scales or recliner chairs if you already know what the household needs.
When you are ready, send your details through the enquiry form on our contact page. We supply and deliver practical room set-up items across Gauteng and can help you plan for a cleaner, more manageable home space while the patient continues to follow the renal team’s instructions.

Questions we get asked

No. We only supply scheduled consumables as ordered through the patient’s own renal unit. We do not decide what is needed or how much should be delivered.
Can a room set-up kit be adjusted for a small flat or townhouse?
Yes. The set-up can be planned around the available room size, access and storage needs so the space stays practical for daily household use.
Do you give medical advice or training on home dialysis?
No. We supply and deliver equipment and household set-up items only. Patients must follow their renal team for treatment guidance, training and medical advice.
