This page is translated with google, so I apologize if it is not quite right.
Shows here an adaptation that allows you to lift passengers or drivers directly from a wheelchair/permobile on and off relatively easily both in a car and on a trike. Also shows how to bring the permobile with you. Maybe it can inspire someone else. Work is progressing so not everything is ready yet. Would be interesting to see how someone else has done it too.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. If there is anything you are wondering about, ask in the comments.The lift is a Vela passenger lift that we bought ready-made and make the attachment my self.
A more flexible lifting type than this probably does not exist for the purpose. It lifts 60 cm and can be angled in all directions.
I made the left bracket for the car and the right for the trike.
This is the attachment that must always be fixed on the trike but can be taken off if you want. The picture is before it is polished and ready.
Here you can see how the removable bracket is inserted into the fixed bracket.
When the lift is not in use, it is simply angled backwards and then rests in a hook so that it can remain in place during travel.
Here the trike mount is fully assembled. It is attached in two places in the frame construction and became very stable
Now the next project begins, Which is to be able to bring the permobile with us as well. Bought an old bike rack to be modified and tested. The trike can be rear-heavy. We will see how it goes.
A test that showed that it was too heavy to have the permobile in this way.
We got a used Blimo Solax which only weighs half of the other permobile and is foldable. This means that we can get the center of gravity centered on the towbar.
Now it is ready. The lift in place and the permobile can sit behind on the towbar. Now we are longing for spring and many wonderful trike rides 2024.
The End
