More Details

Construction
* The hoist is constructed from steel
* The lifting arm of the hoist consists of three components - spreader bar, extension bar and hydraulic boom - which can be easily removed when the hoist is not in use
* The three separate pivoting points of the lifting arm allow the person to be lifted and easily manoeuvred into the vehicle
* The length of the lifting arm can be adjusted to suit all cars and individuals being lifted

Mounting
* This is via a plate, which is fixed to the vehicle floor, adjacent to the door frame. This can be removed and transferred to a new vehicle if required and extra mounting posts can be purchased to enable the hoist to be moved between vehicles.

Operation
* The lifting movement (up and down) is controlled electrically from the car's 12 volt battery
* The hoist is controlled by a small, hand held control box on a cord, which can be attached to the hoist using hook and loop fastening. It has two switches, one for ON/OFF and the other for UP/DOWN
* The sideways movement (into and out of the car doorway) and pivoting movements are controlled manually, either directed by the assistant or facilitated by the hoist user themselves
* The hoist has three pivot points, enabling good manoeuvrability

Slings
* A range of slings are available in a range of sizes
* Each sling has adjustable straps and four points of attachment

Travel
* The hoist can be left in position at the side of the seat whilst driving but the extension and spreader arms should be removed.

Electrical Controls
* Hand held on an extendable lead, with two switches: on / off and up / down
* The control can attach to the hoist with hook and loop tape if required

Power source
* Is directly from the car battery which feeds the 12 volt motor

Optional domestic use
* The hoist can also be used around the home in any place where a mounting bracket can be fitted to the wall
* When fitted in the home, it can be powered by a small sealed 12 volt battery or transformer taking power from any 3 pin plug
* Extra mounting posts can be supplied so that the single hoist can be used in various places
