There are several types of wheelchair lifts in a car, but most of them have cons, which are, that the stroller is loaded in the trunk or in the back seat, which reduces the capacity of the car, at the same time, you cannot do without an assistant. Today we will tell you about the automatic lift, which lifts the wheelchair onto the roof of the car into a special box, you don't need an assistant with him, you can remove the chair yourself and go about your business.
IN 2018 the year in Nizhny Novgorod was launched the production of automatic wheelchair lifts (APIC) on the roof of the car. The idea is not new, there are foreign analogues, but at the price APIK outperforms Chinese and European manufacturers, while the quality of performance is at a high level.
How does the lift work? You sit in the driver's seat, using the remote control, lower the cable, the box opens automatically and the mechanism lowers the hook, for which you hook the folded wheelchair, after that you press the button, mechanism raises the stroller, puts it on the platform, and the box closes itself. And that's it, are you ready to go.
The APIK lift can be installed on almost any vehicle, the set includes box and mechanism, you will have, just install it on the roof and connect the wires.
