Hello all, i recently purchased a travel trailer, and i want to create a lift to get inside it.
a little background on me, i was in a motocross accident, broke my back and am now paralyzed. I currently work at a full fabrication shop as a mechanical drafter, we have the capabilities to make anything i can think of.
I have a few ideas in mind regarding the wheelchair lift, but wanted to see if any of you can come up or think of some other ideas.
here are the parameters I'm trying to work with:
- be able to lift 275lbs
- stop in place (electric motor capable of holding weight)
- ideally, id like to weld it to the frame of the traileri can post a few pictures of the lift system in my truck, which uses a 12v motor to turn a ACME rod, which in turn lifts a small seat i sit on. I believe this would be the best concept. hardest part would be finding the correct motor.
