How do I put my mobility scooter in my car?
This is a question we get asked regularly as people find their mobility scooter too heavy to lift.
Some people can get their mobility scooter in to the car by breaking it down into its individual sections and lifting each one in but for others these components are still too heavy or dividing it up is too much work.
Most mobility scooters can be loaded into the boot of a vehicle using a car hoist as long as the dimensions work for the combination.
These hoists operate via a powered remote control that will lift the mobility scooter up and into the car, taking the weight of the mobility scooter for you. Lifting points, often in the form of a bracket attached to the mobility scooter, will be created and fitted so the car hoist can be attached to the mobility scooter to lift it in a balanced and safe way.
Depending on the size of your mobility scooter and the size of your vehicle, you may still need to disassemble some portions of the mobility scooter. If you would like to check the possibility of loading your specific model of scooter in to your preferred model of car, please get in touch and we can assess this for you.
