What Is an In Car Person Hoist?

An in car person hoist is a specialised device designed to assist those who struggle with mobility and require additional support to access their vehicle. They help you transfer from your wheelchair into your vehicle and also from your vehicle and into your wheelchair or mobility scooter. This innovative piece of equipment provides a safe and efficient way to get you into your vehicle without the need for any strenuous manual lifting, making the process smoother and less stressful for both you and your carers.

These hoists typically feature a sling or seat that securely supports you during the transfer. The operation is usually straightforward, involving the attachment of the sling to the hoist, which then lifts you up and gently moves you into the desired position.

They come with several features that enhance their functionality and ease of use. They offer powered lifting and lowering, controlled with a handheld remote or simple buttons, which makes the transfer process effortless. Some hoists are designed to be portable, they can be easily removed and stored when not in use, while others hoists are permanently installed within the vehicle. The choice between a portable or a fixed hoist depends on your needs and the type of vehicle you are using.

One of the significant benefits of an in car person hoist is the increased independence it offers you. By enabling you to access your vehicle with minimal assistance, these hoists empower you to maintain a more active and independent lifestyle. Whether it’s for daily commutes, medical appointments, or social outings, having the ability to transfer safely and comfortably into a car can greatly enhance your quality of life.

Additionally, the safety and reliability of in car person hoists are paramount. These devices are built to handle various weights and body types, with robust construction and safety features such as automatic locking mechanisms and emergency stop functions. This ensures that you are securely supported throughout the transfer, providing peace of mind for both you and your family.
