Is it for you?
Best suited to
Carers, families and care facilities transporting someone who stays in their own wheelchair. Van Raam rates it for a 110kg rider and 140kg of passenger plus wheelchair (200kg reinforced).
Standout strength
The passenger never leaves their wheelchair: it rolls up a tilting ramp and is secured with a winch and straps.
The main compromise
It is 253cm long, 110cm wide and 74.8kg, so storage, turning space and transport need planning.
Check before you buy
Confirm your wheelchair fits the platform and weight limit, and ask about NDIS funding and the optional larger battery.
