ABSTRACT:
A device provided for loading and unloading a wheelchair into and out from a motor vehicle while the wheelchair is in a folded condition. The device comprises an elongated track which secured to the motor vehicle and preferably laterally across the vehicle in front of the vehicle rear seat. A carriage assembly is longitudinally slidably mounted to the track while a reversible electric motor longitudinally drives the carriage assembly along the track between a retracted and an extended position. With the carriage assembly in its extended position, an elongated wheelchair engaging bar is positioned underneath the wheelchair seat. A second electric motor, upon activation, lifts the wheelchair engaging bar and, in doing so, lifts the wheelchair off from the ground. With the wheelchair in an elevated position, activation of the first motor retracts the carriage assembly with the attached wheelchair into the vehicle for storage during transportation of the motor vehicle. When use of the wheelchair is again desired, the first motor is activated to move the carriage assembly with the attached wheelchair to its extended position and so that the wheelchair is positioned outside of the motor vehicle. The second electric motor is then activated which lowers the wheelchair to the ground.
