Sto-Eazy wheelchair carrier is designed to mount neatly on the back of car.

Carrying a wheelchair for the disabled in a car without compromising passenger or baggage space can be a problem. One solution is the new Sto-Eazy Traveller, a rear-mounted wheelchair carrier, which fits to the back of a car. Using Bosch motors and pinions, the glass-reinforced plastic wheelchair holder mounts to a standard towbar and is powered from the vehicle's electrical system. It duplicates the car's regular taillights. The container is simply lowered to ground level, the folded wheelchair pushed in, and the whole unit then raised. Trunk access is possible without the need to unload the wheelchair.
