Description
People often have difficulty getting a wheelchair into the boot of a car, and usually resort to having to lift the wheelchair. The Wheelchair Boot Slider can help make this job easier.
It is ideal for collapsible manual (push along) wheelchairs. Generally, it is not suitable for large, heavy electric wheelchairs which do not collapse, but feel free to contact us to check.
COMPRISES OF THREE PARTS:
- Boot Blanket – This padded section protects the rear of the car. There is also a thinner section to go inside the boot to give a slippery surface for the wheelchair to slide on when sliding it into or out of the car.
- Slider Platform – This is the part that the wheelchair is rolled into. The Slider is the cover to hold the wheelchair in position with Hook & Loop Tape attachments in the top corners.
- Ground Protector – Place this on the ground under the Slider Platform to protect the Slider Platform from getting dirty, wet, or deteriorating on rough road surfaces. It also keeps clothes clean when leaning the Wheelchair Boot Slider up against your thigh. The Ground Protector has a webbing strap attaching it to the Slider. This is a reminder not to leave it behind before driving away! Also, by pulling the strap, it is not necessary to bend down to pick the Ground Protector up.
The Wheelchair Boot Slider is specially designed so that a wheelchair can be pushed into it from either side of the car. One Stop Strap is supplied, which is a blue Hook & Loop Tape strap that stops the wheelchair from being wheeled too far forward on the platform part of the Slider. This Strap has a usable length of approximately 35cm (13.7″).
