Wheelchairs and Cars.

By Arutz-7 News Service

An Israeli company has good news for drivers with disabilities. Gottlieb Transportation Systems (http://www.gottlieb.co.il) has designed and manufactured a device enabling a disabled driver to store a wheelchair on a car roof, and to easily remove it for use.

The Gottlieb GZ-91 model enables handicapped persons to access the wheelchair independently from either side of a car's front seat. The GZ-91 has been purchased within the past several years by the Rehabilitation Department for disabled IDF soldiers, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, the Israeli National Insurance Institute.

The product is publicized by Yad Sarah (http://www.yadsarah.org.il), a community-based non-profit organization whose 6,000 volunteer and small professional staff provide, via 85 centers located throughout Israel, homecare support services to residents (and aid to tourists) in need of temporary or permanent assistance.
