Carolift 40
Carolift 40
The Carolift 40 is a highly adjustable wheelchair hoist with an exceptional reach. The hoist can be adjusted as needed due to its flexible design, which allows it to fold in the middle of the arm. It can even reach around the side of a vehicle to pick up a wheelchair from the pavement. Moving a load through narrow openings is easy with Carolift 40. It has a manual swivel and a powered lift. The hoist’s maximum lifting capacity is 40 kg.
The hoist is made to fit in most vehicles and has the option of assisted folding to and from the storage position. To make it compatible with a wide range of vehicle types and car models, the hoist arm is built at a 45-degree angle. Its flexible arm ensures that the Carolift 40 fits into many car boots.
Built in a foldable design, Carolift 40's functionality allows for using it in a variety of cars with smaller boot and compartment spaces like in hatchbacks, sedans, and crossovers. In addition to its flexible lift arm, it has a user-friendly mechanism that assists effortless folding to and from the storage position.


The Carolift 40 has manual swivel and powered lift. The control button is positioned on the underside of the hoist arm. This allows for more ergonomic use and reduces the risk of it being too tight for fingers during operation. The Carolift 40's manual rotation gives users more control over the hoist's speed and guidance while hoisting and stowing.

This is one of the most common questions we get asked here at Des Gosling Mobility, and the easiest way to find out is to simply contact us and ask. Our staff are familiar with all different types of scooters and cars, and can usually give you an answer straight away. If you would like to figure out for yourself if a scooter will fit inside a car then have a look at this quick guide below:
- Decide whether or not you are willing to lose two back seats of the car. If you are then you can load the scooter lengthways and usually don’t need to worry about the width or length of the scooter.
- Decide whether you want to load the scooter unfolded, folded, or seat off. Generally you would have to load the scooter folded or seat off, depending on the height of the boot.
- Take measurements of the car boot and the scooter, or search for them online (you can generally find the scooter dimensions on the manufacturer’s website).
- Remember to account for the size of the hoist (add about 5 inches for the height and 6 inches for the width).
- Make some calculations and you should be able to figure out if the scooter will fit into the boot of the car
