The Pelzer Lift is a uniquely designed vehicle seat lift that assists handicapped people or anyone with limited flexibility when entering and exiting a vehicle.
It can be difficult for many people, including handicapped people and those with conditions that limit their flexibility, to climb into and out of conventional vehicles. Unfortunately, this process can cause pain and discomfort and may prevent some people from getting around altogether. There are various styles of handicapped vehicle seating options on the market, but these options do not accommodate everyone.
The Pelzer Lift provides accessibility to a vehicle for handicapped people and others. This innovative product may comprise a vehicle seat, mounted on a telescopic trolley-like system with a hydraulic lift. The vehicle itself can include gull-wing doors for easy entry and exit. When the doors are open, the vehicle seat can move in and out of the vehicle along the extended trolley system. Once outside the vehicle, users can engage the hydraulic lift to move the seat up or down to the appropriate height. The seat can also turn in a 360-degree rotation if needed. Once seated, users can return the seat to the appropriate height and slide into the vehicle. They can then retract the trolley system and close the vehicle door. Once inside the vehicle, the seat can be adjusted in any direction for maximum comfort. The seat can include a control panel for ease of operation. The exact specifications may vary upon manufacturing.
