- Transfer benches aid getting from wheelchair to car more easily and much safer.

- Vehicle Choice – if you have a major change in your travel needs we can advise on vehicle types best suited to your new situation.
Electric Boot Openers
Where people find the raising and lowering of the boot lid of their wagon or SUV difficult, we can fit an electric boot opener. This is controlled by a wireless remote, allowing the boot to be opened as you approach the vehicle. For people in a wheelchair, on crutches, or a little weak this is a major bonus, as reaching the height of an open boot and lowering it can be a challenge.
Electric drive-assist wheels for chairs
As well we have available electric drive-assist wheels for chairs, which allow people to avoid the very expensive move to a fully powered wheelchair.
Images of these new options will be available here shortly.
We will inspect your vehicle, assess the best approach to improving your mobility, and price a solution for your needs.
Please contact us for more details.
