MPL XR Person Lift: Wheelchair to Car Transfer Made Easy

Mobility Innovations VA Contract

Smarter Transfers for Modern Vehicles

Getting in and out of a vehicle safely and comfortably can become one of the biggest challenges to maintaining independence. As SUVs and larger vehicles continue to grow in popularity, transfers can become more difficult without the right support in place.

The MPL XR is the new version of the Milford Person Lift, a trusted car transfer lift used by wheelchair users, caregivers and occupational therapists across the US. Whether you’re looking for a person lift for car use, a vehicle transfer lift, or an alternative to a wheelchair accessible van, the MPL XR is designed to work with your existing vehicle.

The MPL XR Person Lift is the ideal solution for safe and accessible transfers from wheelchair to vehicle. It’s strong, lightweight and versatile, making it ideal for accommodating different needs and situations. Many just rely on the physical strength of a partner, family member or caregiver to lift and transfer them. This can often be quite a stressful or exhausting ordeal where you may sometimes feel like a burden. Why put up with the fuss or risk the personal injury when our smart transfer range alleviates the physical strain required and does all the hard work for you?

Our person lift transfers you from your wheelchair and into your car seat by gently lifting you up using a comfortable sling and lowering you into position. The biggest benefit of our person lift is that it can be fitted into a wide range of vehicles in the front passenger seat. So, this means you will not need to swap your current vehicle or buy a new one!

Because our person hoist gives you the option to sit in front it ultimately provides a more comfortable and sociable journey which makes getting out of the house a more enjoyable experience.

Designed Around Real-World Accessibility

For many people, assisted transfers are about far more than simply entering a vehicle. They help maintain independence, confidence, and the freedom to continue everyday routines, whether that’s visiting family, attending appointments, shopping, or enjoying time out.

The MPL XR has been redesigned specifically to support those everyday moments.

It’s enhanced lower reach capability allows the lift to extend below its mounting point and down past the vehicle edge. This creates a more effective transfer position when a wheelchair sits lower than the vehicle floor, a common challenge with taller vehicles and SUVs.

MPL XR vs Wheelchair Accessible Vans

Many people think that when requiring a vehicle to accommodate a wheelchair user, their only option is a costly Wheelchair Accessible Van.

Posture & Mobility Group have put together International Best Practice Guidelines on how a wheelchair user should travel in a vehicle. They recommend that where possible a wheelchair user should transfer from their vehicle to the standard car seat as the safest way to travel. (page 8 refers)

Our MPL XR is the ideal alternative solution as it sits inline with the International Best Practice Guidelines. Here we have outlined the key differences between each option so you can choose the right solution for you. For users who are able to transfer independently, our wheelchair transfer board offers a simpler, alternate solution.

 


Greater Vehicle Choice Without Compromise
SUVs offer comfort, visibility, and practicality that many drivers and passengers prefer. However, taller vehicle heights can sometimes create additional transfer challenges.
The MPL XR helps bridge that gap, giving users access to more vehicle options without compromising accessibility.

Rather than asking people to adapt their lifestyle around vehicle limitations, the MPL XR has been designed to help modern vehicles work better for real-world mobility needs.
