Wheelchair lifts for vehicles allow those using mobility devices access to vehicles and elevated places which they would otherwise find off-limits. Wheelchair lifts are available in both hydraulic and electrically powered models. The vehicle wheelchair lifts can be operated by anyone capable of pressing a button.
Some wheelchair lifts require that the wheelchair be carried onto the vehicle’s rear hitch, while others have lifts which will raise the wheelchair into the vehicle’s trunk or back cargo area. Do your own research on the different types of vehicle wheelchair lifts before making a purchase; not all lifts work with all cars.
Our professionals at AeroFlow Healthcare can advise you on the proper vehicle wheelchair lifts to use with your make and model of vehicle. We have full descriptions of all the lifts we have available right here on our website.
Wheelchair lifts which operate manually can usually be installed without professional assistance. You just slide the lift into a hitch attached to that back of your vehicle below the bumper. If you purchase an electric wheelchair lift, however, you will probably need to get help from a mechanic experienced in installing wheelchair lifts.
The Harmar AL 600 Hybrid Platform Lift is the ultimate user-friendly power chair and scooter lift. One button deploys the platform for drive-on and drive-off simplicity. The remote hand control powers the lift allowing it to secure any scooter or power chair into the back of most SUV’s, vans and minivans. Most installations utilize existing third-row seating mounts, requiring no further vehicle modifications. The AL 600 requires no chair or scooter modifications and requires only 46.5″ of rear storage space, sparing second-row seating in most applications.
