Who can benefit from our boot hoists?
Wheelchairs, powerchair or scooter users may very well have limited upper body strength, so may find a wheelchair and mobility scooter hoist particularly helpful, as it can reduce the physical effort required to load and unload their mobility vehicle.
How they work
Via lifting points which have been installed on a wheelchair, powerchair or scooter, the mobility device is attached to the car boot hoist crane-like lifting arm. Using the remote control, and guided by the user, the hoist arm lifts the mobility device off the ground and moves it into the rear of the vehicle. Once the mobility device is securely in place, the user can safely transport it to their destination using the car hoist for wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
Have used my boot hoist over 100 times and it is a life saver for me. Works perfectly every time, is precise in positioning and takes only a couple of minutes from parking up to zooming off on my scooter.

What is the maximum lifting height of a boot hoist?
The maximum lifting height will be relative to your vehicle. Contact our team for specific compatibility advice.
How long does a boot hoist typically last?
If well maintained and operated as advised, a boot hoist should last for many years.
Can the parcel shelf still be used once a boot hoist has been fitted?
In most instances, the parcel shelf has to be removed whilst using the boot hoist.
