Take your pavement scooter in the car and explore further

A pavement scooter is comfortable and steady, but it's far too heavy for most people to lift into a car — so it usually stays at home while you go out. That can mean missing out on garden centres, seaside walks or days with the grandchildren. An AutoChair Smart Lifter boot hoist lets you take your own scooter with you, wherever the car goes.

Fitted securely in the boot, the hoist raises the scooter at the press of a button and lowers it gently into place. AutoChair hoists are designed and made in the UK, and we'll help you match the right model to your scooter and your car.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Heavier lifting, handled at the push of a button
  The hoist takes all the weight, so loading a heavier scooter is no longer a two-person job — or a risk to your back.

• Capacities up to 200 kg
  The LC range lifts up to 100 kg and the LP range up to 125 kg, 150 kg or 200 kg, built for bigger, heavier scooters and powerchairs.

• Loads in around 60 seconds
  LC and LP hoists load your scooter in about a minute, so you're not standing in the cold or rain for long.

• Simple four-button control
  Clear, simple buttons that are easy to press, even if your fingers are stiff.

• Solid, UK-made build
  Made to cope with regular use, trip after trip.

• Fits most cars
  Over 500 vehicle-specific installation kits, and the hoist can be moved to your next car.

Who it suits best

• Pavement scooter owners who want days out further afield
• Carers and partners who can't safely lift a heavy scooter
• Drivers whose car has a large, wide boot opening

Worth knowing before you buy

Pavement scooters are larger than boot scooters, so your car needs a boot opening and space big enough for the whole scooter to pass through and sit inside. If your car is small, a lighter folding or boot scooter may be the more practical choice. We'll check your scooter's weight and size, and your car, before recommending a hoist.

Questions customers ask us

Which hoist will my scooter need?
It depends on how much your scooter weighs. Heavier pavement scooters usually need the LP range — tell us your model and we'll confirm.

Can I keep the hoist if I change my car?
Yes. AutoChair hoists can be transferred to a new vehicle with the right fitting kit.
