More Details

It is designed for able bodied people who are carers of individuals that use a wheelchair.

This product is made up of nylon, webbing, Velcro, slip resistant miracle grip and plastic sheeting:

There are three pieces of equipment that make this work:

1) A special Boot Blanket that has a padded section to protect the rear of the car. A slip resistant section on this prevents the Slider from slipping when the wheelchair is being lifted into the boot. There is also a thinner section to go inside the boot to give a slippery surface for the wheelchair to slide on when putting it into or taking it out of the car.

2) A Slider. This has a nylon cover with a platform to wheel the folded wheelchair onto, and a front cover to hold the wheelchair in position.

3) A Ground Protector. This is placed on the ground to protect the platform material on the Slider, from getting wet, dirty or deteriorating on rough tarmac or other road surfaces. This has a webbing strap attaching it to the Boot Blanket, so it is not left behind when driving off.

Washing Instructions: the Slider and attachments can be machine washed up to 80C. Do not tumble dry.
