Getting a wheelchair into a car (view report contents)

Chairack

Using

The frame clamped on to the towing ball with its own locking mechanism. It did not need much strength or dexterity to fit.

The rack was quick and easy to use although some found it difficult to get the wheelchair front castors on to the rack. Once this was done you simply secured the castors with an elasticated cord - easy even with arthritic hands - and levered the wheelchair up using the rack's handle. You didn't have to lift the chair.

The rack could be used by people with limited strength, weak backs and those unable to bend. It could be used with one hand but not easily by people with very poor balance.
