hi,

does anyone have any experience of mobile travel hoists that can be folded?

i understand they exist however all i can find on google are the big battery driven type such as the freeway 200 etc.

does anyone who needs hoisting travel to friend, family etc and use a hoist that you take in the boot of your car?

thanks
//j

Hi java!


I use a Hoyer lift. It's nothing special, just manually pump it..I usually take mine with me when I go on vacation. It's pretty easy to lug around. All you gotta do is, take the top part off of the base and BOOM throw it in the trunk! Well, that's my 2 cents..hope it helped!


Here's a link. This is exactly like mine.

Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.
