Your Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions people ask us most about car hoists.
What does a car hoist do?
It lifts your scooter or wheelchair into the boot at the press of a button, so you don't have to take the weight yourself.
Will a hoist fit my car?
It depends on your car and what you need to lift. Call 01789 339 738 with your car's make and model and the scooter or wheelchair you use, and we'll check.
Which scooters and wheelchairs can it lift?
Each hoist has a maximum lifting weight on the product page. Check the weight of your scooter or chair, without the batteries if they come out.
Can I get VAT relief on a car hoist?
If you have a long-term illness or disability and it's for your own personal use, you may be able to buy qualifying products without paying VAT. Just ask us and we'll help you with the simple declaration.
