This product requires an auto hoist.
A car hoist can be an essential tool to get your mobility scooter or wheelchair into your vehicle. It's also a safety measure that ensures the device won't move while you are driving or stopping. It is important to determine the type of car lift you require before purchasing one.
The most basic type of a car hoist would be the belly lift that uses the front and rear tyres on each side to support the weight. It is ideal for repairing brakes, tyres or suspension work. It is mobile, which makes it ideal for use in garages and mechanic shops.
A two-post hoist is another option. It makes use of a pair of vertical posts, which are mounted on the floor and linked with arms that slide underneath the chassis. Two-post lifts are a step up from the belly lift and provide more lifting capacity. These lifts are great for mechanics shops and garages and can be used for servicing many vehicles, including light trucks, commercial vehicles and private automobiles.
These lifts can be removed, folded and stuffed into the vehicle's boot. They are available in a variety of sizes, so you can choose the best one to meet your needs.
There are a variety of hoists to choose from, and it's important to take into consideration the space available in your garage and the dimensions of your wheelchair or scooter. It is also important to consider the level of security you require. Some hoists require you to lift your mobility scooter or wheelchair into it before locking it down. This can be difficult and inconvenient for users with weak wrists or weak backs.
Certain hoists can be difficult to operate. They may have controls that are jerky or buttons that are too close or difficult to press. They can also be noisy when you are moving your wheelchair or mobility scooter.

The majority of lightweight scooters come with a three-wheel design which is much lighter than four wheel models. This allows them to be maneuvered in smaller spaces and makes it easier to navigate narrow streets and corners. Three wheel scooters may not be as stable as the four wheel models, and they are prone to tipping over when going up steep hills or turning sharply.
Some models have a tiller. This is an ideal option for those who prefer to control their scooters more easily. You can adjust the angle of your seat as well as the speed of your scooter.

It may also require the assistance of a second person to help you move it particularly if it's too bulky.
Some scooters are built from lightweight materials like aluminum aircraft grade. They are typically powered by lithium batteries which can be charged on-board when needed.
