Bring your folding scooter on every trip — without lifting a thing

A folding scooter is meant to make travel easy, but even a light one can be awkward to swing into a car boot, especially with a sore back or weak shoulders. If you've started leaving it at home, or relying on someone else to load it, an AutoChair Smart Lifter boot hoist gives you that freedom back.

The hoist is fitted inside your boot. You attach the scooter, press a button, and the hoist lifts it up and into the car for you — then does the reverse when you arrive. AutoChair makes its hoists in the UK, and we'll help you choose the right one for your scooter and your car.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Does the lifting for you
  No bending over the boot or taking the scooter's weight in your arms — a big relief if you live with back pain, arthritis or a heart or breathing condition.

• Light-duty models for lighter scooters
  The LM range (40 kg or 80 kg) and LC range (80 kg or 100 kg) are made for wheelchairs and mini scooters, so you don't pay for more lifting power than you need.

• Four-button handset
  Simple controls that are quick to learn and easy to use with stiff fingers.

• Over 500 vehicle-specific fitting kits
  Made to suit most popular cars, so the hoist sits securely in your boot.

• Boot space when you need it
  The hoist leaves room in the boot, so the weekly shop and suitcases still fit.

• Can move with you to a new car
  AutoChair hoists can be transferred when you change vehicles, so it's a longer-term investment.

Who it suits best

• Folding scooter owners who struggle to lift it into the car
• Couples where one partner does all the loading
• Anyone who wants to travel to family, the coast or on holiday on their own

Worth knowing before you buy

Every hoist has to be matched to your scooter's weight and to your car — the boot opening must be wide and tall enough for the scooter to pass through. Some very light folding scooters can be lifted in sections by hand, so it's worth weighing up whether you need a hoist at all. We'll look at both with you before you decide.
