Elap E50 50kg boot hoist for lighter mobility devices
The Elap E50 2-Way Hoist provides a safe, convenient and effortless way to load and unload a wheelchair or mobility device into the rear of your vehicle. With a 50kg safe working load, a folding boom and simple corded control, it is a practical option for lighter equipment where boot space matters.
Fitted, calibrated and serviced from our fully equipped Hemel Hempstead workshop.
A compact hoist for lighter wheelchairs and mobility devices
The Elap E50 2-Way Hoist is designed to simplify loading and unloading a mobility device into the rear of a vehicle. Powered by an electric motor and built with a durable, heavy-duty design, it can lift mobility equipment weighing up to 50kg.
At Steering Developments, we check the weight and dimensions of your wheelchair or scooter, the shape of your boot and the way you use the vehicle day to day before recommending and fitting a hoist.

Elap E50 2-way boot hoist
The E50 uses a compact 2-way electric lift to raise and lower your wheelchair or mobility device at the touch of a button. The folding boom stows flat against the boot floor when it is not in use, helping to preserve luggage space and keep the rear view clearer.
Its universal design allows installation on either the left or right-hand side of many vehicles, including vehicles with false floors where suitable. Optional spreader bars are available with karabiner or keyhole bracket attachments to suit different mobility devices.

Key features
Built for simple everyday loading
The E50 is aimed at lighter wheelchairs and mobility devices where a neat, compact hoist is more appropriate than a heavy-duty boot lift.
50kg safe working load
Suitable for lighter wheelchairs, compact scooters and mobility devices up to 50kg, subject to assessment.
Folds flat in the boot
The boom folds down against the boot floor when not in use, helping to maximise the remaining space.
Simple corded control
Raise and lower the hoist with a wired hand control, keeping operation straightforward and predictable.
Left or right installation
The universal design allows fitting on either side of many vehicles, depending on the boot and the device being loaded.
Safety built in
The lifting boom locks automatically, with heavy-duty lifting webbing and a limit switch to help prevent overloading.
Every fit checked first
We confirm vehicle access, boot shape, loading height and the exact weight of your mobility device before fitting.
Fitted around you
A hoist needs to suit both the vehicle and the equipment
A 50kg hoist is only the right answer if the wheelchair or mobility device, vehicle boot and lifting points all work together. We will check the full setup before fitting, including boot depth, bumper height, rear opening shape and whether your mobility device needs a specific lifting bracket.
This means the hoist is set up for the way you actually load and unload, rather than treated as a universal bracket.

Common questions
Is the Elap E50 available through Motability?
Yes. The Elap E50 50kg boot hoist is available through the Motability Scheme where it is suitable for the vehicle and mobility device, and it can also be fitted as a private purchase.
What weight can the E50 lift?
The E50 has a 50kg safe working load, so we always check the exact weight of your wheelchair, scooter or mobility device before recommending it.
Will it fit any car?
Not every hoist suits every vehicle. We check boot shape, boot height, opening size and the space left once the device is loaded before confirming suitability.
Can it be fitted on either side of the boot?
The E50 can be installed on either the left or right-hand side of many vehicles, depending on the vehicle layout and the loading position that works best.
Can the hoist move to another vehicle later?
In many cases a boot hoist can be transferred to another suitable vehicle, although it may need a different fitting kit or adjustment. We can advise before you change vehicle.
