Wheelchair and Scooter Hoists
Wheelchair and Scooter Hoists
Des Gosling Mobility Derby offers a superb range of scooter hoists. Hoists are a very easy way of lifting your wheelchair, scooter, or powerchair into the boot of your vehicle. We install a wide range of scooter hoists, meaning we can provide a solution for most combinations of vehicle and scooter. Hoists are designed to use as little boot space as possible, and when not in use most hoists are either partially removable or foldable to reduce the amount of boot space they take up.
When installing your hoist we will require access to your wheelchair, scooter, or powerchair. Most scooters and powerchairs will have to be slightly adapted to allow them to be lifted; they are also required to allow the hoist to be adjusted for your specific use.
If you have never used a hoist before, or would like advice on which would best suit your needs, why not book a Demonstration?

Ceiling Hoist
40kg Side Loading Hoist
The Wheelchair Ceiling Hoist is a new product from Des Gosling Mobility that aims to maximise the user’s independence. It allows the user to stow away their wheelchair in the back of their car from a seated position in the driver’s seat.
We fit a comprehensive range including the Apex Assist, Folding Hoist, Smart Lifter range (LC, LM, LP models), Carolift 40, Carolift VSL 6900, Swift Lift, and ceiling mounted hoists. The right choice depends on your wheelchair or scooter weight, your vehicle, and how you want to load.
We need to assess both your scooter dimensions and your vehicle boot space. As a rule, allow approximately 5 inches extra height and 6 inches extra width beyond your scooter's measurements for the hoist mechanism. Send us your scooter model and vehicle details for specific advice.
Many hoists are designed for independent use, operated by simple controls including remote buttons. Some users need assistance depending on their strength and mobility. We'll demonstrate operation and help you understand what you can manage independently.
