Can anyone recommend a suitable trolley for loading scientific instrumentation into the back of car boots safely?
Instrument may be typically 35kg and sales reps need to be able to get these in and out of their vehicle and then transport to demonstration premises.
Any and all assistance gratefully accpeted

The problem is that portable hoists etc to move things like around tend to weigh more than the object you are lifting so you compound the problem rather than solving it. Can you break the item down into a couple of smaller parts to make it easier to lift? Alternatively can you have a hoist installed into the car but bear in mind that doing that reduces considerably the available luggage space.

I can't help with a lifting device/trolley, however I would begin with looking at the design of the car you use. I would opt for a car with a boot that has level access and not choose one with a sill. That way you avoid having to bend over the sill to lift the item out. A boot with level access enables a better stance to be achieved. It may also be better to have a boot with sliding floor which can then be pulled out of the car, making the final transfer to a trolley safer.

Perhaps there is a disability lifting aid which may help, something like :- https://www.completecareshop.co.uk/moving-and-handling/mobile-hoists/birdie-folding-electric-hoist-view-large?admoo=~a:3508~b:xxx~c:xxx~d:xxx~e:xxx~f:xxx~g:1081869815~h:48806014690~i:xxx~j:xxx~k:xxx~l:g~m:c~q:1o1~s:~t:9046061~v:online~w:pla~y:10454042021825703982&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9bzv4qjT2wIVj5kbCh2WkAzsEAYYASABEgKhXvD_BwE
