The right fit

Who is it suitable for?

Wheelchair and Scooter Users: Ideal for individuals who use a manual wheelchair, powerchair, or mini-scooter and wish to transport their mobility device with ease in a vehicle.

Reduced Lifting Capability: Suitable for those with limited upper body strength or mobility who find it difficult or impossible to manually lift a wheelchair or scooter into a car, as it automates the loading process.

From enquiry to fitting

Fitting & coverage

Why prices are quoted for your vehicle

Modern cars differ a lot — steering systems, electronics, airbags, dashboards and mounting points. What fits one model may need different parts, programming or labour on another. The figures on this page are a starting point for supplied & fitted work; we confirm a firm price once we know your make, model and year, and have checked compatibility.

Workshop fitting vs mobile

Most adaptations are fitted at our Heathrow or Ferndown workshops, where we have the tools, lifts and diagnostic equipment to do the job properly. Some simpler fittings can still be done at your home or a dealership when the product and vehicle allow — we'll say so when we quote. We never force a mobile fit where workshop conditions are safer or required by the manufacturer.

Area we cover

We focus on local service from our two workshops — roughly within about 30 miles of Heathrow (West Drayton) and about 60 miles of Ferndown (Wimborne). Collection and return of your vehicle, home visits and mobile work (where suitable) sit inside those bands. Outside the area you can usually still bring the vehicle to us, or ask about options when you request a quote.

“Lifts my powerchair into the boot of my Ford Focus in under a minute. Was struggling to do it manually after a knee injury. The branding sticker peeled off after a few months — minor cosmetic thing.”

“Fitted by the team at Ferndown. Showed me how to use it and even helped tidy the boot trim.”

“Reliable. Six months in, no issues. Battery still seems strong.”
