Small car boot hoist

Jeff Gosling’s website looks promising? Different weights/boot sizes.

Thank you so much. I take a look x

We live very near Jeff Gosling and my friend has used them twice for fitting electric hoists for mobility scooters in her car on the recommendation of Ableworld from whom we both bought our scooters.
She is in Italy at the moment so I can’t ask anything else.
I know she was very happy with them .

Or maybe look at one of those roof boxes that lift it down for you?

I used to work with someone who had one and they liked it as it kept the boot free.

I hope you find something suitable.

Thank you. I am out shopping at the moment but will look into it once home....

I have changed my car to 1 that is lower than previous and it is automatic... just need to sort the problem of getting equipment in and out.

Thank you

We got ours from Autochair. Not cheap but did the job.

Yes Autochair have been recommended to me . 😃

Im am swaying between a portable 1 ( that can be installed by myself ) and 1 that is fixed and bolted to the car boot.

Serendipity 22 Before I had my current WAV I had a car fitted with a hoist through the Motability scheme. I used Des Gosling and found them extremely helpful. If you give them a call with details of what car you have and what equipment you want to load, they will advise you as to how feasible it and what you need. Unfortunately it’s not a given in all cases and can be influenced by things such as whether the boot has a lip or is a flatbed.

I had a demonstration at my home from Autochair and was assured that the car I was interested in ordering from Motability would enable me to load my small, fold down back, powered wheelchair. On the day I went to the showroom to complete the paperwork for my new car, I don’t know why, but with pen already in hand, something promoted me to ask the salesman to check once again with Autochair that the car and wheelchair was a workable combination. As it turned out, no it wasn’t. The wheelchair wouldn’t load because the vehicle had insufficient headroom due to not being a flatbed boot. Both the salesman and I had been told that the wheelchair would ‘sail in’.

Nothings ever straight forward is it?
