A lift assist is provided for lifting at least one object to and from any suitably-sized container for stowage, transportation or usage. Say the object is a foldable wheelchair. The lift assist may include a water-proof body sheet folded to form a pocket for receiving the folded wheelchair. The pocket may be detachably closed to protectively cover the wheelchair so as not the damage or otherwise expose it to the container or vise versa. The list assist includes a lift assembly which operably engages a plurality of lift supports disposed along and inward from at least one lift edge of the body sheet. The lift assembly may include a pulley and cord and attachments for removably attaching near the container so that a user may manipulate the cord to pull and lift the protected wheelchair into the container.
