[Accessible Japan]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear that Special Needs at Sea cannot accommodate this in Japan.

It is possible to buy a lift. In fact, you can get them online:

Though, they are a bit more than $2000 USD. Getting it delivered might be the harder issue. If you go the online route, perhaps @heather-hopkins-clement can help with logistics.

However, for setting everything up correctly, an official reseller might be safest. The company we often use for rentals is called Abilities and they have hoists as well:

However, they are more focused on renting not selling. (Though the president is a very easy going guy who would likely be open to negotiations.)

Would that still fit in your budget?

Another alternative could be a travel hoist:
