A carrier vehicle 12 includes a hoist 2 for lifting a disability vehicle 10 into the carrier vehicle. The hoist comprises a lifting arm (figure 1, 6) for lifting the disability vehicle, the lifting arm being pivotally moveable from a first rotational position (3a) for deploying the disability vehicle onto the ground, through a second rotational position (3b) for stowing the disability vehicle within the carrier vehicle, to a third rotational position (3c) for stowing the lifting arm within the carrier vehicle. The hoist further includes first rotation limiting means configured to prevent the lifting arm from pivoting beyond the second rotational position and second rotation limiting means configured to prevent the lifting arm from rotating beyond the third rotational position. The first rotation limiting means includes an override to disable the first rotation limiting means responsive to an override condition being met so that the lifting arm can rotate to the third rotational position.
