Outside wheelchair and scooter lifts mount outside your vehicle using the vehicle's hitch. Once installed, you will lower your lift and drive your wheelchair or scooter onto a platform. From there, you will raise the lift either by hand (on manual models) or with the press of a button (on motorized models). Because you will be transporting your wheelchair or scooter on the back of a car, truck, van, or SUV, we sell covers to provide protection from the elements. In addition, every lift we sell has a system for strongly securing your wheelchair or scooter to the platform. Prices vary by lifting capacity, the number of motors, and how automatic the lift is. Choosing the right lift for your situation can be complicated. If you have any questions at all, please give us a call at 1-800-470-8940.
