Ladeboy – Wheelchair Loading System for the Trunk

The all-rounder for almost any car

The Ladeboy is our most versatile trunk-mounted wheelchair loading system: robust, low-maintenance, and proven for over 30 years. It fits into nearly all vehicles and enables safe, effortless loading of your wheelchair – even for users with limited mobility.

Compatible with most folding wheelchairs – loaded folded or unfolded, depending on the model – including those equipped with power-assist devices like e-fix or e-motion, as well as folding electric wheelchairs from brands such as Sunrise Medical (Quickie), Invacare, Karma, Ottobock, Ergoflix or Eloflex.

Installation is fully reversible: the system attaches to the trunk's tie-down anchors and can be removed without traces when changing vehicles or returning a leased car. Made in Germany for over 30 years.

Compatible vehicles: Almost all cars – with the exception of sedans and coupés.

Variants: Standard for wheelchair weights up to 20 kg or Maximum for wheelchair weights up to 50 kg.

Liftfriend – Vertical Wheelchair Lift for Vans and High-Roof Vehicles

The space-saving solution for vans, MPVs, and high-roof station wagons

The Liftfriend (formerly Ladeboy S) is our vertical wheelchair loading system designed for vans, MPVs, and high-roof station wagons. It loads wheelchairs upright in the trunk, freeing up valuable space for luggage, travel gear, or daily essentials.

The Liftfriend is compatible with most folding wheelchairs including those equipped with power-assist devices like e-fix or e-motion.

Installation is fully reversible: the system can be removed without traces when changing vehicles, making it suitable for leased and company cars. Made in Germany for over 30 years.

Compatible vehicles: Vans, MPVs, and high-roof station wagons (e.g. VW Caddy, Mercedes Citan, Renault Kangoo, Ford Tourneo Connect, Peugeot Rifter).

Ladeboy S2 – Side-Loading Wheelchair System for Active Drivers

Maximum independence at the push of a button

The Ladeboy S2 is our side-loading wheelchair lift, designed for maximum independence, comfort, and everyday usability. At the push of a button, your wheelchair is loaded behind the driver's seat – easily, quickly, and without physical effort, even for users with limited mobility.

Depending on your vehicle and wheelchair model, loading is possible folded or unfolded. In vans, MPVs, and high-roof station wagons, fully unfolded loading is supported – ideal for active wheelchair users who don't want to compromise on their rigid frame or individual seating configuration.

The Ladeboy S2 is compatible with most folding wheelchairs, including those equipped with power-assist devices like e-fix or e-motion, as well as selected rigid-frame wheelchairs and folding electric wheelchairs (e.g. Ergoflix LX).

Compatible vehicles: Almost all four-door cars

Variants: Standard for wheelchair weights up to 20 kg or Maximum for wheelchair weights up to 38 kg.

Scooterboy – Heavy-Duty Wheelchair and Mobility Scooter Lift

The powerful solution for heavy mobility aids

The Scooterboy is our most powerful wheelchair loading system: it loads mobility scooters, power wheelchairs, and other heavy mobility aids directly into the trunk at the push of a button. Thanks to various platform sizes, the Scooterboy fits into nearly all vans, MPVs, and high-roof station wagons.

Suitable for mobility aids with a length of up to 145 cm.


The Scooterboy is fully removable but the system is bolted directly to the vehicle's chassis. We therefore recommend the Scooterboy primarily for vehicles you own – for leased or company cars, please consult your leasing provider before installation.


Compatible vehicles: Vans, MPVs, and high-roof station wagons.

Variants: Between 165-200kg, depending on platform length.

Electric Swing and Sliding Door Openers for Vehicles

Safe, automated vehicle doors for effortless wheelchair access

Our motorized door systems make entering and exiting the vehicle easier for wheelchair users, their families, and professional carers. At the push of a button, the door opens and closes automatically – quietly, reliably, and with no physical effort. A particularly valuable solution for users who want to enter and exit their vehicle independently.

Motorized doors can be installed flexibly: in combination with our Ladeboy S2, as a standalone solution, or on the passenger side – ideal for wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs), accessible taxis, paratransit fleets, and care service vehicles.

Equipped with anti-pinch protection for maximum safety.

Variants: Sliding Doors for high-roof station wagons, minivans, and vans; Swing Doors for all other vehicle types.
