Wheelchair Hoist – Custom Extended Arm for Utes, 4WDs & Deep Cargo Vehicles

Description

Wheelchair Hoist for Utes, 4WDs & Deep Cargo Vehicles

The Custom Extended Arm Wheelchair Hoist by Gilani Engineering Pty Ltd is engineered for vehicles where standard hoists cannot provide sufficient horizontal reach, correct lifting geometry, or safe tailgate clearance.

Designed specifically for utes, 4WDs, pickup trucks and deep cargo vehicles, this system solves the common limitations found in factory hoist configurations.

When a conventional wheelchair hoist cannot clear the tailgate or position the wheelchair securely inside the tray, this extended arm configuration delivers controlled, stable and mechanically sound loading.

Why Standard Wheelchair Hoists Fail in Deep Vehicles

Most off-the-shelf hoists are designed for wagons and SUVs — not high tray utilities or deep cargo beds.

This often results in:

• Limited horizontal reach

• Wheelchair contact with tailgate edges

• Incorrect lifting angle

• Increased motor strain

• Instability at full extension

• Excess torsional stress at the mounting point

The extended arm geometry is engineered to eliminate these issues while maintaining structural integrity and long-term reliability.

Engineered Extended Arm Geometry

Increasing reach changes leverage forces dramatically.
This system is configured to:

✔ Maintain correct lifting arc
✔ Optimise horizontal and tailgate clearance
✔ Control rotational stability under load
✔ Reduce mechanical strain
✔ Protect the vehicle’s mounting structure

The boom length and pivot placement are assessed per vehicle to ensure safe and repeatable operation.

Suitable For

• Utes and pickup trucks

• 4WD vehicles

• Deep tray configurations

• High tailgate vehicles

• Custom mobility transport builds

• Vehicles where factory arm length is insufficient

Each installation is evaluated based on vehicle structure, mounting surface and wheelchair configuration.

Professional Installation

All systems are fabricated and installed in-house with:

• Reinforced mounting integration

• Vehicle-specific base configuration

• Vibration-resistant fastening

• Clean electrical routing

• Operational safety testing

This is not a generic bolt-on crane. It is a purpose-engineered wheelchair lifting solution.
