the hoists have to be bolted to the rear of the vehicle and when lifting the machine you have to put a cradle thru the handles then lift and rotate the chair at the same time. A major problem is you then have to tie the chair down in the boot which means reaching over and around and doing up ratchets etc . not easy for a person in wheelchair.
once the chair is locked to my forks that's it the mechanics do the rest.
My machine does in fact "Sit" in the back it has 2 simple metal straps which go behind the rear seat and secure to the rear safety belt anchor points. This is only to stop the machine "tipping" when fully extended out the boot.
also the width of the chair with outdoor kit tires is 830mm and a lot of normal suv wont fit that width wise as well as the hoist so must have the narrow tires which is a pain to change over ( change 2 wheels every time you want to off road!
My overall is 1000 and all the gear is clear of the chair which slides into a "pan" which is 850mm clear width so takes both sets of tyres.
Thanks For your comments
