Wheelchair roof boxes conveniently store your wheelchair on the roof for you, leaving the boot free for extra storage. Most systems allow single user operation, and you don’t need to be able to walk round the car as you do with most hoists or racks on the back of the car. All systems use a switch to lower the hoist mechanism from the roof of the car. You hook the wheelchair on by hand. Some hoists fold the wheelchair for you, with others you have to fold them before you attach them to the lifting hook. The hoist then lifts the chair on to the roof and automatically secures it safely.

means your family and friends can come along for the ride,
and everyone can enjoy the comfort of your vehicle.
The
Chair Topper is available in a driver-side model or a
passenger-side version. The Chair Topper's universal mounting
system ensures that it will fit most automobiles and light

The

users by providing an automatic storage solution for even the heaviest of manual wheelchairs (up to 33kg).

wheelchairs (inc those those with 'add-on' power packs) inside its sleek body that mounts on top of your vehicle, eliminating
the need to store your chair behind the front
seats.
The

passenger-side version, and can be fitted to almost any vehicle.
The big advantage to the RTU100 is it's size. Due to the innovative design of the RTU 100 it can be used inside most Carports or Garages as the overall height remains virtually unchanged throughout loading/unloading the wheelchair. In other words, if you can drive the vehicle into a Carport or Garage you can use the RTU 100 to load your wheelchair out of the rain or wind in only 47 Seconds.
