Mobility Scooter Hoists

Mobility Scooter


I have a very low mileage Van Os Zoom 4 ( 5 mph ) mobility scooter, which I bought new in July 2014, and have hardly used since purchased.

One if the reasons is that even though it breaks up into 5/6 pieces, each piece is still quite heavy to lift in & out of the car, if you have no balance!

Ramps tend to be a bit awkward for me, so the Zoom is 'on the market' , and I have bought a Pride Quest actual folding scooter ( Aug 2014 and also hardly used & a bargain at £420 ), which is much easier to handle/transport, and it :-

a. Doesn't need breaking up, fitting nicely into the boot and

b. Is very much lighter to lift in & out

Then I go and damage my shoulder, and now it's become too much to lift it in & out, again!

Autochair and other auto lift suppliers are very expensive, so, this pm I bought me a used external electric hoist, powered by the scooter's lithium battery, and it's ' bloody fantastic - https://youtu.be/dtC1piRM7io

Wow she is indeed 'Bloody Fantastic'...... I'm extremely impressed !!

The Hoist is quite neat too, though only really looks suitable for the micro fold up scooters really ??

I actually used it to lift a few things up to just below the loft opening, whilst I sat on top of the step ladder- it lifts 30 kilos.

Used the removable battery from the scooter to power it, and as the switch is at the top, it was easy to control - Worked very well!
