Wheelchair & Scooter Boot Hoists NZ — Load Your Mobility Equipment with Ease

A wheelchair boot hoist lifts a wheelchair or mobility scooter in and out of your car boot at the press of a button — so there’s no heavy lifting, no strain, and no need for a second person. Our range of car and van boot hoists in New Zealand helps drivers and carers keep their mobility equipment with them wherever they go, making everyday trips and travel far easier. Everything ships NZ-wide with free delivery and a 12-month warranty.

How a Boot Hoist Works

A boot hoist is a powered crane that mounts inside the boot of your car, SUV or van. It uses a sling or bracket to lift the folded wheelchair or scooter off the ground and swing it into the boot, then lowers it back out when you arrive. Most run off the vehicle’s battery and are operated by a simple handheld remote or control — so loading heavy equipment becomes effortless.

Our Boot Hoist Range

  • Foldable boot hoists — compact hoists suited to smaller and compact vehicles
  • Portable boot hoists — for lifting wheelchairs and scooters, with flexibility across vehicles
  • Remote-control boot hoists — higher-capacity hoists (such as the BT80, up to 80kg) operated by handheld remote for the heaviest scooters and power chairs

Which Boot Hoist Is Right for You?

The right hoist depends on the weight of your equipment and the size of your vehicle. Check the folded weight of your wheelchair or scooter and make sure the hoist is rated comfortably above it, and confirm the hoist suits your boot space. Because fit varies by vehicle, we recommend contacting us with your car’s make, model and year, plus the make and weight of your mobility equipment, and we’ll help you choose the right hoist.

Fitting & Support

Boot hoists are supplied with fitting details for installation by a suitable automotive installer, and we provide remote phone and email support to help. We don’t operate a physical install centre in New Zealand, so installation is arranged locally with guidance from our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wheelchair boot hoist?

It’s a powered crane fitted inside a car boot that lifts a folded wheelchair or mobility scooter in and out for you, usually by remote control. It removes the heavy lifting involved in loading mobility equipment into a vehicle.

Will a boot hoist fit my car?

Boot hoists suit many cars, SUVs and vans, but fit depends on your boot space and the weight of your equipment. Send us your vehicle make, model and year, along with your wheelchair or scooter details, and we’ll confirm the right hoist.

How much weight can a boot hoist lift?

It varies by model — our remote-control BT80 hoist lifts up to 80kg, suitable for heavier scooters and power chairs. Always check the folded weight of your equipment and choose a hoist rated comfortably above it.

Does it work by remote control?

Many of our hoists, including the BT80, are operated by a handheld remote, so lifting and lowering is simple and effortless. Others use a straightforward control.

Can a boot hoist be funded in New Zealand?

It may be funded for eligible users through ACC or Ministry of Health equipment funding via Enable New Zealand or Accessable, usually after an assessment. We can provide a quote and specifications to submit to your funder, though we are not a registered supplier and approval is decided by the funder.
