Electric Horse Mounting Hoist for Wheelchair Riders | Float-Mounted Lift System

Description Electric Horse Mounting Hoist for Wheelchair Riders Horse mounting hoists provide a safe and reliable way for wheelchair riders to mount horses without manual lifting. At Gilani Engineering, we believe horse riding should be accessible to everyone. Our Electric Horse Mounting Hoist is designed to safely lift riders from a wheelchair and assist them onto a horse with dignity, comfort, and ease. This innovative system reduces the need for manual lifting and provides a safe transfer solution for riders with limited mobility. It is ideal for therapeutic riding programs, equestrian centres, carers, and riders who require additional support when mounting or dismounting a horse. The hoist can be mounted to a horse float, trailer, or fixed structure, allowing riders to transfer safely before training sessions, competitions, or therapy programs. If you are looking for other accessibility solutions, you can explore our range of patient hoists and lifting systems designed to support safe transfers.

How the Horse Mounting Hoist Works The rider is positioned in the transfer harness while seated in their wheelchair. The electric hoist gently lifts the rider using the remote control. Support staff guide the rider safely over the horse. The rider is then lowered into the saddle for a comfortable and secure mount. This process reduces manual lifting and allows riders to participate in equestrian activities with greater independence and dignity.
