A lift for a vehicle includes a platform configured to support an occupant thereon, a parallelogram mechanism to move the platform between a stowed position and a deployed position, a base to mount the parallelogram mechanism to a vehicle floor, a hydraulic system to move the platform through the parallelogram mechanism, a mechanism to fold and unfold the platform, an occupant retention device, a control unit to control a movement of the platform. The occupant retention device can include any one of a belt, a bridgeplate and a roll stop. The lift can also include a platform movement control device that can be provided as an acoustic sensor array, a bridgeplate lock and a platform stow lock. A light assembly can be mounted on the platform as a visual warning of the platform operation. The power connection to the control unit can include an encapsulated decouplable power interface.

A vehicle, such as a car, camper or van including a seat, is mounted in the vehicle, with a seat surface; and a carrier arranged close to the seat and mounted in the vehicle, and provided with a drive for adjusting the carrier between a first position, in which an edge of the carrier runs parallel to the main direction of travel of the vehicle and lies in line with and adjoins the seat surface of the seat, and a second position in which, relative to the first position, this edge of the carrier is arranged at a distance from the seat surface in a direction transversely of the seat surface. The invention further relates to a carrier with a drive.

A barrier configured to be located at a door a vehicle having a lift platform to enable an individual using a mobility device to exit and to enter an interior of the vehicle. The barrier includes a support base configured to be fixedly coupled to the vehicle. A first side and a second side each extend from the support base are spaced apart to define an access location for the individual using the mobility device. A barrier gate or a barrier plate include an entry position and a blocking position wherein, in at least one embodiment, movement of the lift platform moves the barrier plate from the entry position to the blocking position.

A loading system for loading a wheelchair into a rear loading space of a vehicle includes at least one loading device disposable on the vehicle. The loading system has at least one first coupling unit disposable on a rear side of a backrest of the wheelchair and fixable to the wheelchair. The loading device has at least one second coupling unit capable of being coupled to the first coupling unit, at least one telescopic loading arm which at an end portion is connected to the coupling unit pivotable about a free pivot axis, and at least one pivot bearing fastenable to a front side end portion of the loading space, by which a pivot bearing the loading arm at another end portion is connected pivotable about a locationally-fixed pivot axis that runs parallel with and spaced apart from the free pivot axis transverse to a vehicle longitudinal direction.

A wheelchair lift, comprising: two rotatable screwed rods; two upper screw nuts configured to travel along the respective screw rods with the rotation of the screw rods; two lower screw nuts configured to travel along the respective screw rods with the rotation of the screw rods, the lower screw rods being located below the upper screw nuts; two rods, each joined to a respective lower screw nut; a platform hingedly joined to the rods; a motor configured to rotate the screw rods to selectively lower and raise the upper screw nuts and the lower screw nuts, thereby selectively elevating and lowering the rods and the platform; two first support arms hingedly joined to respective upper screw nuts; and two second support arms hingedly joined to the first support arms and to the platform.

An assembly for shifting a wheelchair lift within a vehicle, including a housing arranged to be secured to a floor of the vehicle and extend substantially parallel relative to an opening of a side doorway in the vehicle. The housing includes a bottom plate connected to a top plate and forming a first channel therebetween, a slidable member arranged within the first channel, and a means for displacing the slidable member along the first channel from a first position when stored to a second position in operation.

A self-propelled track drive module for an emergency stretcher, includes a left-side track drive unit and a right-side track drive unit. A frame, having a front end and a rear end, is disposed between the left-side track drive unit and the right-side track drive unit. The frame has a mounting structure for receiving an emergency stretcher and for releasably securing the emergency stretcher to the frame. The mounting structure is configured to support the emergency stretcher such that rolling wheels of the emergency stretcher do not contact a ground surface therebelow when the emergency stretcher is in a mounted condition.

Portable lifting and transferring techniques for assisting in the mobility of disabled persons are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a portable lifting and transferring apparatus for assisting disabled persons that is compact, lightweight, and portable for use in different locations. Preferably, such an apparatus would provide multiple pivot points for providing multiple degrees of maneuvering freedom when lifting and transferring disabled persons and/or their mobility devices and for providing compatibility with a wide range of vehicles. The techniques may also be realized in other embodiments as disclosed herein.

A mobility carrier provided with a vehicle seat and a vehicle provided with the mobility carrier. The mobility carrier includes a carrier body, a seat, an operating portion configured of allowing a user accommodated on the seat to control the mobility carrier or the vehicle, and a carrier controller. The carrier controller communicates with a vehicle controller of the vehicle from outside of the vehicle. If verified through communications with the vehicle controller, the carrier controller controls the carrier wheels so that the carrier body enters a cabin of the vehicle. The carrier controller communicates with the vehicle controller to control a driving unit of the vehicle via the operating portion.
