Can this be used to transfer from a wheelchair to a car?

I have used the lift to transfer my husband from the floor to a chair and from the wheelchair, with no problems. The lift functions well and I would have to say there should be no problem in using it to transfer someone into a vehicle. I sincerely hope this helps you out.

I'm not saying that it can not be done, but it would be very difficult. there is not enough clearance to get the rider into the car. I would have to say No.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I sent the hoyer lift to my parents. I've used one before and I think think you can bring the person to the car and sort of swing the person to the top of the seat and slowly lower it. I think it'll be hard to get the person directly on top of the seat because of the straps that's carrying that person. I'm not sure if that helps.

If the base fits under the car, then, yes, you can. The part where you hang the harness turns in all directions and you can nicely lower the patient to the seat.

Have not done that, but it can be used to get someone off the ground to a bed or a chair. I don't see why it might not work.

Yes but I would not make a habit out of it. It is difficult to do , hard not to scratch car

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to use it a lot. My guess is that it would not be possible, since the upper arm lays about 3 feet over the patient's head (and would collide with the car's roof).

I have not ever used it in that type of capacity but if the car is a convertible it is probably doable. If it is a standard car then no I don't think so.

I believe you could if vehicle is equipped for it. Was very easy will instructions

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work as long as it is a 12 volt battery and you put in a fuseable 30 amp link which can be purchased at any hardware or automotive supply store. You may need to sort out the connection between the battery pack and their socket connection. I have seen people with motorized whelchairs/scooters add such a connection off their battery that powers their mode of trnsportation and the lift worked just fine.

Gosh, I really don't know. I will say that I've very happy with it. It's light and much easier to get into the car than a large wheelchair. It rolls pretty good on grass and dirt, too, again better than a regular wheelchair.

If you have a smooth surface you can move it but the wheels are small so they can't go over too much of a bump. It would work to put a person in the car if the car isn't too low. You just unhook the sling with the person sitting on it, then just hook it back up when you are ready to take them back into the house.

Yes you can, go to Karman Wheelchairs on the net, then click on wheelchair Parts and Assessories.

I'm sure it could but it would be a pain to constantly be moving it from one car to the other, in my opinion. I have an Escape and I leave my back seats down all the time so the net is between the front seats and back...the dogs (3 Pomeranians) have the entire back area.

Unfortunately, what you are referring to seems highly unlikely. I would recommend an iron-on transfer for such a purpose.

You would have to buy some sort of converter for it. We could only use ours in the car

I have not used it to transport the scooter on a lift. My scooter fits in the car.

Depending on how much amp the device pulls. I'd suggest you search for 5 amp car to wall transfer.

I would not recommend using it to put someone in a car. You do not have enough clearance.

I myself would rather have two slots instead of one. It wouldn't need to be turned a certain way to pick it up by the slot. It also gives you a handhold at both ends as you transfer. I use mine to transfer from wheelchair to car seat and vice versa. I am a smaller woman but I only use it for vehicle transfers. If I were going to use a transfer board in my house for getting into the bed and such then I would want a longer board. I have upper body strength but no mobility in my legs so this one works great for me. Hope this helps.

No u can't. U have to be careful about that. The chair is very comfortable but hard for someone to push u in it because of small wheels. Other than that the chair suits my purpose really well. It is light weight and easy for me to get it in and out of the car.

I have used this to haul my dad's wheelchair a number of times. The best way I've found to carry it is to hang it upside down with one bar going through the wheels and the other supporting the frame. It tucks nicely behind my car and doesn't impact fuel economy.

I haven't tried it but I can't imagine that they would work. The connection spots have to be parallel and I would think the wheel on the wheelchair would be out too far.

I don't see why not. It's a seat cushion that is the same size as the seat of an average wheelchair so it should fit a drivers seat. Just keep in mind it is 3" thick though.
