- a hand held control is used to lower the lifting device from the car
- the wheelchair is pushed so that it is approximately above the lifting point
- the wheelchair is lifted some way by the motor, using a hand held control.The front and back wheels are removed and stowed by hand. The wheelchair is swivelled into the car by hand and locked into place.
We have not tested this system.
The importers say that it can be easily removed from the car as it is fixed to pre-existing anchorage points on the vehicle.
