Kivi Person Hoist
If transferring between your wheelchair and the car seat has become difficult or unsafe, the Kivi Person Hoist gives you a simple, comfortable and dignified lift. It mounts onto your vehicle's door hinges without permanent modification, works with 3-door and 5-door cars, and is fitted and calibrated at our Hemel Hempstead workshop for drivers and passengers across Hertfordshire.
Fitted, calibrated and serviced from our fully equipped Hemel Hempstead workshop.
Effortless and safe transfer from wheelchair to vehicle
The Kivi Person Hoist is designed to provide a simple, comfortable and dignified transfer between a wheelchair and a vehicle seat. Suitable for both 3-door and 5-door vehicles, the hoist can be quickly installed onto the vehicle's door hinges without requiring any permanent modifications to the vehicle.
Its innovative design creates additional legroom during transfers, helping you enter and exit the vehicle with greater ease and comfort. A wireless remote control allows smooth and convenient operation, while an integrated manual override switch ensures reliability when needed. The padded sling offers enhanced comfort and stability throughout the lift, giving you and anyone helping you added confidence during every transfer.
For improved visibility in low-light conditions, the hoist is fitted with an integrated LED light, making operation safer and more convenient at any time of day.

How the hoist works with your car
The hoist fixes onto the existing door hinges, so nothing has to be cut or permanently altered on your vehicle. A removable mobile bracket means the unit can be taken off when it is not needed, and it is available with either universal or vehicle-specific mounting brackets depending on the car you drive.
You operate it with the wireless remote, and the manual override switch on the hoist itself is there as a back-up. We will check door aperture, seat height and your transfer position before fitting, so the lift path suits you rather than a generic set-up.
