Your portable scooter, in and out of the boot with no strain

Portable scooters come apart so they can travel in a car — but each piece still has to be lifted, and the battery and seat can be surprisingly heavy. After a long day out, that last lift into the boot is often the hardest part. An AutoChair Smart Lifter boot hoist takes that job off your hands.

The hoist sits in your boot and lifts the scooter in and out at the touch of a button, so you can keep it in one piece and simply drive off. Made in the UK by AutoChair, it can be fitted to most cars, and we'll help you choose the size that suits your scooter.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• No more lifting the heavy parts
  Saves your back, shoulders and wrists from lifting sections of the scooter — especially helpful if you have arthritis, a weak grip or a carer who's getting older too.

• Less taking apart and putting back together
  Lifting the scooter whole means fewer fiddly catches and clips, and you're on your way sooner.

• Sized for smaller scooters
  The compact LM range (40 kg or 80 kg) and LC range (80 kg or 100 kg) are designed for mini scooters and wheelchairs.

• Easy four-button handset
  A straightforward control that's quick to get the hang of.

• Fitting kits for over 500 vehicles
  Designed for a secure fit in most cars.

• Leaves room for luggage
  When the hoist isn't in use, your boot is still free for shopping and bags.

Who it suits best

• Portable scooter owners who find dismantling and lifting tiring
• Anyone who travels with their scooter regularly
• Families who want loading to be safe for everyone

Worth knowing before you buy

Lifting a portable scooter whole only works if your boot opening and floor space are big enough to take it assembled — otherwise it may still need to come apart. If you only travel with your scooter now and then and can manage the pieces, you may not need a hoist. We'll check your scooter and car with you and give you an honest view.

Questions customers ask us

Do I still need to take my scooter apart?
Often not, as long as it fits through your boot opening in one piece and within the hoist's lifting capacity. We'll check this for you.

Who fits the hoist?
Each hoist is installed with a fitting kit made for your car. Call us and we'll explain the process and arrange a demonstration or free assessment.
