When your mobility becomes limited, it would be nice to have a wheelchair that could allow you to get around. However, to optimize your newfound freedom, you need a way to take that chair wherever you go. A wheelchair hoist is the best choice for chair transport. A few of today's wheelchairs are the lightweight folding kind. There are also electric wheelchairs that provide a quick and comfortable way for the disadvantaged people to move around. However, the weight of these chairs, with their motors and batteries, make lifting them a task that would strain even the strongest of men. Wheelchair hoists are available for both folding chairs and the heavier electric models.
There are several different types of wheelchair hoists that can meet your requirements. These can either be operated by passengers or drivers. If you are able to get into the car without your wheelchair, there are rooftop hoists that will lift the chair to the roof of your vehicle. It keeps you from having to stow it yourself, which may not be possible once inside the vehicle, and frees up your trunk and backseat for other things.
The boot hoists transfer your chair to the trunk or hatchback of the vehicle. The door to the trunk area will open automatically and the hoist will move to the front of the car, so that the folded chair can be placed in the cradle & moved into the back, where the door will close automatically. These wheelchair hoists are programmed to suit your particular vehicle.
Rear seat loading hoists are designed for mini-vans and other vehicles with sliding doors, although some four-door cars can accommodate these hoists by modifying a rear door. These hoists are fitted in the boot, and they pivot the folded chair into the rear seat. It is operated using a remote control.
Mounted and vertical hoists are available for lifting an empty or occupied chair into a vehicle, or even for use inside the home to help you get to places a wheelchair could not normally go, such as going up and down the stairs. These are useful for both kinds of chairs, but are more valuable tools when using the heavier electric chairs. These hoists are perfect for enabling a van to carry a mobility-impaired passenger.
No matter what kind of chair you use, hoists add to your freedom by allowing you to get where you need to go, and take your wheelchair with you without any difficulty. Safe, durable, and easy to use, wheelchair hoists are reasonably affordable, can easily be installed, and most often, can covered by insurance plans.
There are many kinds of hoists and lifts that can improve the lives of the disabled and make both work and play easier. Find out more about the uses of the ladder hoist and lifting slings by visiting my site.
