Smart Lifter LM
Smart Lifter LM
The Smart Lifter range of car boot hoists enable you to lift a mobility device, such as a wheelchair, scooter or powerchair, easily and quickly into your car boot at the touch of a button. This eliminates the need for the wheelchair/scooter user or family member to struggle with getting the device into a vehicle or car when wanting to venture further afield.
If you’re looking for a hoist for your wheelchair or mini scooter, the Smart Lifter LM range would be perfect for you.
With a max lifting weight of either 40kg or 80kg, this lifter is perfect for smaller, lighter mobility vehicles and can help you get out and about quickly and easily.
With a fully automated lifting function, operated through the touch of a button, this lifter will eliminate the need to pick up your mobility devices to put it in the car.
- Lifts all types of mini scooters and wheelchairs
- Lifting capacities: 40kg, 80kg
- Available as 2-way powered (up/down) or 4-way powered (up/down/in/out)
- Available with a fixed or folding arm*
*Folding arm – the folding arm has a quick release handle to allow it to be folded down when not in use or once the scooter or wheelchair has been lifted into the boot. The folding arm is often used in vehicles with a smaller boot, folding down out of the way to allow the tailgate to shut.

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
