The hoist makes it very easy to load a wheelchair into the luggage compartment of a passenger vehicle, estate car, or a small hatchback. Our hoist is designed for use with both electric and manual wheelchairs. It greatly reduces the effort required by family members, carers, or assistants. If needed, the hoist can be fitted with a removable arm that requires no wiring connection. This is a certified device, approved by TÜV and authorised by the Czech Ministry of Transport.
Suitable Applications for the Hoist
The hoist for loading a wheelchair can be used in any vehicle that can accommodate the wheelchair. Suitability always depends on the specific vehicle and the wheelchair.

Design of Our Loading Hoist
There is currently no easier way to load an electric wheelchair than by using a hoist. Compared to portable telescopic ramps, the hoist occupies minimal space in the vehicle. We have designed it for safe and easy handling. The hoist arm can be equipped with either electric or manual rotation.

Hoist with Mechanical Rotation
This type of hoist is a simpler version of the device. However, if the vehicle is on a slight incline, the hoist arm tends to rotate downhill. For heavier wheelchairs, it can be difficult to maintain the correct rotation position. An electric rotor helps stabilise the wheelchair in the luggage compartment, even once it is fully loaded. We recommend a mechanically rotating hoist for lighter manual wheelchairs.
Handling the Wheelchair Durign Loading
To load the wheelchair, simply attach the hook to the pre-installed console on the wheelchair and lift it using the electric control. Once the threshold height is cleared, rotate the arm with the carriage into the luggage compartment and lower the wheelchair onto the vehicle floor. The arm is usually equipped with electric control for even easier handling. During driving, the hoist is quiet and does not rattle. We manufacture hoists with a load capacity of up to 60 kg for manual wheelchairs and up to 200 kg for electric wheelchairs.
