Boot hoists and rooftop box hoists for mobility equipment
Boot Hoists are a hoist which can be used to lift scooters and wheelchairs in and out of the boot of your car. Taking all the weight and movement of the scooter or wheelchair, boot hoists easily fit to your product and safely lift the item for you to simply close the boot door.
They are available in manual and electric depending on your requirements. A manual hoist will still provide the ultimate lifting capacity but will require handling to swing the scooter into your boot, whereas an electric version has multiple directional usage.
Clark and Partners are distributers of Carolift 100 hoists that require no manual handling. The scooter or wheelchair can be lifted into the back of a vehicle at the touch of as button. It’s simple yet powerful and can smoothly lift or lower in just a minute. It’s capable of lifting scooters and wheelchairs up to 100kg.
Unlike many hoist brands, there’s no need to lose any of the seats in your vehicle as the Carolift 100 fits neatly into the boot. It’s universal and so can be moved between vehicles should you fancy a new motor. There’s minimal permanent adaptation to your vehicle. Not only that, a large part of the Carolift can be detached when you’re not transporting your scooter or wheelchair, and need extra room in your boot.
The V40 X is an improved version of manufacturer Elap’s V40. It makes loading and folding wheelchairs and mini scooters easy (handset included). It can even be used in vehicles with false floors and features a new, simpler double fold away system. The powerful electric motor and solid construction makes lifting equipment up to 40kg easy. The reduced footprint means it can even fit in car boots with limited floor space.
Elap have been specialising in car adaptations and inclusions for those with mobility needs since the 1970s. They paved the way for rotating seats, patenting the world’s first. Based in the UK, they can even design and manufacturer bespoke equipment.
One product that is out of this world is the Chair Topper! Load, transport and retrieve your folding frame wheelchair using a roof top box. It only takes 30 seconds to load or retrieve your wheelchair. Getting your wheelchair in or out is super easy, just push the corresponding button on the remote.
Think of it as a valet service for your wheelchair. When you get seated in your car, the Chair Topper will take care of your wheelchair for you. When you’re ready to leave the car, the Chair topper will bring your wheelchair to you. In between it is safely stored in the weatherproof roof top box. It’s a great solution for independent drivers as well as passengers.
Since your wheelchair never touches the interior of your car you don’t have to worry about dirt and mud on your wheels. Inside the Chair Topper’s weatherproof compartment your wheelchair is protected from the elements.
The Chair Topper is one of few solutions for bringing a wheelchair along that doesn’t take up seating space or storage space in the vehicle. If you bought a five-seat car it will remain a five-seater even after it’s been adapted with the Chair Topper.
We have been adapting customer vehicles for many years and are familiar with the range of available options. Our technicians and surveyors based at our head office in Sheffield are on hand to discuss your options and help find the right solution. We have a fully adapted car with a variety of adaptions inside for you to view and try. As retailers of wheelchairs, powerchairs and mobility scooters, we also have extensive knowledge of how these products work with our equipment hoists.
We are Motability accredited and can therefore fit adaptations to cars for customers on the mobility scheme. New cars arrive to us before being delivered to the customer so we can complete any adaptions before customers receive their new car.
All work is carried out in our workshop based at our Sheffield Head Office based on the Dore House Industrial Estate (27A Orgreave Drive, S13 9NR). For this reason, anyone looking for Clark & Partners to carry out any adaptations should factor the transportation of the vehicle to and from the site, as well as aftercare of the equipment.
