The Out-Rider Wheelchair Hoist is an electrically powered, boom-type hoist with a winch. The device can be controlled from inside the cab and allows complete independence if the driver is able to transfer into the cab. When the boom is swung over the wheelchair, a cable is lowered, hooked to the chair, and winched up. The boom is then raised and swung over the truck's sidewall before it lowers the chair down into the bed. The reverse is done to unload the wheelchair.
