IBIS® Wheelchair to Car Access

Assisted Living Mobility Equipment

Overview

Take control and enjoy greater independence, health and well-being.

The IBIS® Wheelchair to Car Access has been designed and manufactured in Australia by Para Mobility. This is a transformative device that allows a person with a disability (PWD) and mobility limitations the option of getting in a car, wagon, SUV and 4WD.

The IBIS is designed to attach to the hinges of the vehicle door fully eliminating the need for any permanent modifications and giving users the freedom to travel in multiple vehicles.

Our system is conveniently powered by the car’s 12 volt auxiliary outlet and can be operated by the carer via the hand control. With a simple button press the carer gently guides the participant into the vehicle without any manual lifting.

By simplifying vehicle access, the IBIS allows users to travel more freely, whether for daily errands, social outings, or medical appointments. This increased mobility enhances overall quality of life.

A word from our clients

My wife is wheelchair bound and in a nursing home. With the IBIS it gives me the freedom to take her out to friends, family, shopping centres, church and restaurants. It helps to normalise life again.

My wife had a stroke paralysing her down the right hand side several years ago. She is now in care 24/7. The IBIS has allowed us to go to appointments, enjoy lunches together, and live a slightly more 'normal' life together again.

I purchased the IBIS Wheelchair to Car Access nine years ago and it's the best piece of mobility equipment I have ever purchased. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
