Selecting the Right
Electric Wheelchair Lift

Click Here for Information on Different Types of Lifts

An electric wheelchair lift installed in your vehicle can help you to transport your wheelchair or scooter. With a fully-assisted power model, the lift can be operated easily with a touch of a button.




There are generally two options available for installation and storage of a mobility lift in your vehicle. One is where the model is equipped to electronically fold into the trunk of a car or the back of a van and is out of sight once stored.

The second type is attached to the back of your vehicle and visible at all times.

You can find a wheelchair lift to fit virtually any circumstance, and many retailers have the expertise to help you find the model that will be most practical for your automobile, truck, van or minivan.

Although lifts are relatively easy to install, many retailers recommend that a professional mobility technician or auto mechanic perform this task.

Medicare and most major insurance companies do not cover the purchase of a lift. However, most major automobile manufacturers offer up to $1,000 reimbursement on the cost with a newly bought or leased vehicle.

Always ask about rebates and insurance coverage before making a purchase decision.
