How do I put my mobility scooter in my car?

Most mobility scooters can be loaded into the boot of a vehicle using a mobility scooter car hoist.

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.

When the mobility scooter isn’t loaded, the rear seats can be redeployed and used.

Sometimes the mobility scooter will need to be broken down to fit into the car. If this happens, the car hoist will lift the main body of the mobility scooter but you may need to put the parts taken from the mobility scooter, for example the seat or armrests, into the car manually.

If you are considering using a car boot hoist to load your mobility scooter, it is important that you consider the combination of car, mobility scooter and hoist. Further details on the considerations can be found on our boot hoist product page or please contact us to discuss the options.
