The piston member is vertically movable and includes a bottom chair support plate projecting outwardly of the bumper. In the lowered position, the support plate is located to receive the two rear wheels, or safety roller provided on the wheelchair. Upper lock members are aligned with the side frames of the wheelchair and one is releasably attached to the frame. The wheelchair is mounted in the in-use state. A pressurized hydraulic supply, either hand or electrically operated, is mounted in the vehicle trunk with lines releasably connected to the cylinder for raising and lowering of the support and wheelchair.
