Person hoists

Mobility device users with significantly reduced mobility can benefit from using a person hoist for safe and comfortable transfers into a standard car seat. Some examples of disabilities or conditions that may benefit from the use of a person hoist include spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.

The person hoist is an ideal solution for drivers and passengers who want to continue travelling in the comfort of a standard car.

The person hoist can lift a user weighing up to 125 kgs.

There is no height limit for use of a person hoist, however the taller you are, the more height you will need within the car aperture as well as good range of neck movement.

To confirm user suitability and vehicle compatibility for the person hoist, we always conduct a mobility assessment.

Although it is not a requirement, we do advise that your person hoist is serviced every 12 months to ensure it is in top working condition. Please get in touch with us to arrange yours.

The person hoist can typically be fitted within 2-5 hours depending on your car make and model. Meaning you enjoy the freedom of comfortable transfers as soon as possible.

Our person hoists are designed for safe and reliable use, but it is imperative that the sling is set up and attached correctly before lifting the user. 

Within our mobility assessment, we will ensure the person operating the hoist is comfortable to do so and will receive a full demonstration.

In many cases, yes. Although when the time comes to change your car, we recommend contacting our team to check compatibility of your person hoist with the new vehicle and confirm if we can facilitate a transfer. A new installation kit is typically required.

Person hoists start from £2,995 including professional installation and a 3-year warranty. The final price can vary depending on the hoist configuration and any additional adaptations required to meet the user’s specific transfer needs.

At Mobility in Motion, all person hoists are installed by experienced vehicle adaptation engineers and are tailored to suit both the individual and the vehicle, ensuring safe, reliable and comfortable transfers in and out of the car.

A person hoist is a lifting aid designed to help transfer an individual safely into and out of a vehicle. It is commonly used by people with limited mobility who require assistance moving between a wheelchair and a vehicle seat.

Vehicle person hoists help reduce physical strain on both the user and any assisting carer by providing controlled lifting and lowering support. They can be an effective solution for maintaining comfort, dignity and independence when travelling, and are available in a range of configurations to suit different vehicles and mobility requirements.
