Wheelchair Hoist

We saw a Hymer last year in a German camp site.
He had a beam mounted on the ceiling of the garage.
(Like a lightweight engine hoist)
With a press of a button it extended about 1m out of the garage door.
It then had a simple hoist on the end that the chair has connected to with carabinas
And the entire thing was lifted off the ground and moved into the garage.
Very simple, fast, easy to use.
Unfortunately I don't know the manufacturer, but it looked like it had been very professionally fitted, one assumes since delivery of the vehicle.

Could Des Gosling or Jeff (Geoff?) Gosling help? Two different companies that sell / fit hoists into all sorts of vehicles.

Overkill for your size of chair, but we use an Autochair wheelchair hoist - what is now called their Smart Lifter LP Range. This lifts OH's 120kg power chair into the garage of our PVC.
You would only need one of the LM Range if buying new. Autochair
We are downsizing the van & also the wheelchair OH will use when we are away, so our existing hoist will be available in about a month if you or anyone is interested.
We are going for a slightly lighter chair than yours, with easily removable batteries, so a hoist is not strictly necessary, but we will fit something like the one mentioned by Brains
