Portable Scooter & Wheelchair Hoists

Loading a mobility scooter or wheelchair into the car shouldn't mean straining your back or waiting on someone to help. Our portable hoists, platform lifters and boot sliders do the heavy work for you — getting your scooter or wheelchair into the boot or cargo area safely, often at the push of a button.

Unlike the large, permanently installed hoists fitted inside vans, these are lightweight, removable solutions designed to suit most sedans, SUVs and wagons. They hand back the freedom to get out and about on your own terms — to appointments, the shops, or wherever the day takes you.

Which lift is right for you?

• Pelican Wheelchair Boot Slider — a simple, non-powered slider that lets you glide a folded wheelchair into the boot without an electric mechanism. The most budget-friendly way to make loading easier.
• EzyLifter Platform Lift — a portable powered platform ideal for travel scooters and lightweight wheelchairs. Roll on and let the lift do the rest.
• Solax Portable Electric Hoist — a telescopic crane-style hoist that lifts up to 30kg and runs off your scooter's own battery. The perfect travel companion for Solax and E-Traveller scooters.
• Solax Power Lifter — our top-of-the-range platform lift with a 45kg capacity and easy remote-control operation for completely strain-free loading.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a boot slider, a platform lift and a hoist?

A boot slider is a manual tray that lets you slide a folded wheelchair into the boot. A platform lift raises your scooter or wheelchair on a powered platform. A crane-style hoist lifts the device up and over into the boot using an arm. Sliders are the most affordable, while powered lifts and hoists remove the lifting effort entirely.

Will a portable hoist or lifter fit my car?

These are designed for the boot or cargo area of most sedans, SUVs and wagons. Because they're portable rather than permanently fitted, they suit a wide range of vehicles. If you're unsure, check your boot dimensions or get in touch and we'll help you match the right model.

How much weight can they lift?

Capacity varies by model, ranging up to 45kg on the Solax Power Lifter. Always check the listed capacity against the weight of your scooter or wheelchair before buying.

Do I need it professionally installed?

No. Unlike the large hoists fitted permanently inside vans, these portable models are designed for quick, simple setup without major vehicle modifications.
