Method of Use

The folded manual wheelchair is hooked on to the cable by the front castor struts on the main frame of the wheelchair.

Safety and Usage Advice

A safety inertia strap is optional but it is recommended that the hoist is ordered with this important safety feature.

Extra product information

The hoist consists of powder coated, rust proof zinc and an epoxy coated mild steel rack and a lifting strap operated through an electric winch powered via the car battery.

The hoist is clamped onto the vehicle's roof gutters. If there are no roof gutters a standard roof rack can be fitted and the hoist attached to it.

The lifting strap has a hook to allow attachment to the folded wheelchair. The chair is raised vertically until it is above the car roof then it is laid horizontally onto the rack where it is secured for travel. The lifting strap is rated up to 1300kg.

A clearance of one metre above the car roof is required for operation.

The hoist can be installed on either the passengers or drivers side seat.

The Accord model comes with a vinyl weather cover (perfect protection from rain and bugs) and spare parts.

Factors to Consider

May be dangerous to load on the driver's side if the car is parked at the kerb
