Do I need a hoist to put a mobility scooter in a car?
Not always - smaller, lightweight scooters can sometimes be dismantled and lifted manually into a car boot. However, for heavier scooters and powerchairs, a hoist significantly reduces the physical effort involved and lowers the risk of injury. A portable hoist like the Atlas 4 is particularly useful for users who travel regularly or don't have someone to assist with loading.
Can a hoist be used for a powerchair as well as a mobility scooter?
Yes, provided the powerchair is within the hoist's weight limit. The Atlas 4 is suitable for both lightweight folding mobility scooters and electric powerchairs up to 40kg, making it a versatile option for users with either type of equipment.

How much weight can a mobility scooter hoist lift?
This varies by model. The Eden Atlas 4 lifts up to 40kg (88lbs), which covers most lightweight folding mobility scooters and compact powerchairs. Always check the weight of your scooter or powerchair - including any batteries - before selecting a hoist.
What type of hoist is best for a mobility scooter?
The best hoist depends on how and where you plan to use it. Permanently fitted hoists offer reliability but require vehicle modifications and stay fixed to one car. A portable hoist like the Atlas 4 offers greater flexibility - no permanent fitting, transferable between vehicles, and ideal for those who use hire cars or share a vehicle.
Can you get a hoist for a mobility scooter without modifying your car?
Yes. The Eden Atlas 4 is specifically designed to work without any drilling, wiring, or permanent vehicle alterations. It installs and removes quickly, making it one of the few genuinely portable mobility scooter hoists available in the UK.
Mobility hoists designed for use by disabled people are typically zero-rated for VAT in the UK, meaning eligible customers do not pay the standard 20% VAT. We recommend confirming eligibility at the point of purchase, as individual circumstances may vary.
Most portable hoists, including the Atlas 4, are compatible with a wide range of standard cars and SUVs. Key factors to check include boot depth, boot opening width, and whether your vehicle can support the hoist's installation method. If you're unsure, our team can advise on compatibility before you buy.
Yes - this is one of the key advantages of a portable hoist. Because the Atlas 4 requires no permanent installation, it can be used in hire cars, friends' vehicles, or any compatible car you have access to, making it an excellent companion for travel and holidays.
