Three Easy Ways to Get your Mobility Scooter into your Car Boot

___________________________________________________________________________

Let’s set the scene… you need to get the mobility scooter into your car boot which isn’t always an easy task. It can be awkward to lift and a lot of bending down too! 

Luckily there are aids to help reduce this issue and ensure your safety remains the top priority.

Ramps

You may only need some indoor ramps to go over the threshold of the front door, or you may need a heavy duty ramp to help get your mobility scooter or wheelchair in and out of the car. That’s why our best recommendations are ramps that are lightweight and easy to install and easy to fold up and carry, but still strong enough to carry heavy mobility scooters.

Hoists

Betty and Bertie Scooters are ideal for the Autochair Lifter LM Range. With a max lifting weight of either 40kg or 80kg, this lifter is perfect for smaller, lighter mobility vehicles and can help you get out and about quickly and easily. With a fully automated lifting function, operated through the touch of a button, this lifter will eliminate the need to pick up your scooter when putting into or taking from the car. The Lifter LM is operated with a simple four button control, easily folds away to allow you to use your boot when needed and is wired into your car to allow for easy quick use.
