Thanks for your reply vinalspin, I’m happy that you have found a set up that works for you and your needs.
My own condition is such that I really need a fixed assisted ramp or a more forgiving hoist / lift set up.
Ideally a set up that would allow me to ride a medium sized scooter into and out of the vehicle I’m afraid my manual lifting days are behind me.
My fears. are safely getting in and out and not being able to lower the ramp if people habitually ignore the need to leave space behind such vehicles.
The length of most disabled bays mean that even with my current vehicle hoist it lowers the scooter into the path of impatient drivers in supermarket carparks etc.
It would be nice to learn from experienced WAV drivers that my fears are hopefully unjustified ?
