ILC Reference NO 51:20:002
Item sourced from ILC WA database


Auto Lifter

Short Description
A roof mounted manually operated (hydraulically) hoist which enables an assistant to lift and transfer a person from wheelchair to car seat. May be used for front or back seat. Only suitable for some models of 4 Wheel Drives.



Price Guide
Refer to supplier details for pricing

More Details
The hoist is constructed from brushed aluminium and steel. It consists of a permanently mounted steel pack rack on the roof of the car, and a detachable hydraulic lifting system which can be stored in the boot of the car.

The lifting arm of the hoist slots into the slide bar on the car roof with an hydraulic pump and system of sliding and swivelling bars.

The lifting movement (up and down) is controlled by the hydraulic pump and release valve to lower. The sideways movement (in and out of the car doorway) and pivoting movements are controlled manually by an assistant.

The hoist can be installed by any mechanic in less than half an hour, as there are no electrical components. The auto lifter is attached to the gutter mounts of suitable 4 wheel drive vehicles. The auto lifter can be painted and trimmed to suit the colour and style of the vehicle.



Features
SLING is a one piece sling with foam cushion, with a single attachment point on the hoist. A small spreader bar may be used if the person finds this uncomfortable. The sling also acts as a wheelchair cushion, so the person can be left sitting on it.

CONTROL is via a hydraulic pump.

DISMANTLING / FOLDING: the jack system can be removed from the pack rack and can be stored in the boot of the car.
