Mobility Scooter Lifts

If you need to take your scooter while traveling, mobility scooter lifts offer you the means of bringing your equipment with you in almost any vehicle.

Two basic types of scooter lifts are on the market. Outdoor lifts can be installed onto a hitch (Class 2 or Class 3) on the back of a vehicle. One of the major advantages of an outdoor lift is that you don’t have to disassemble your scooter to transport it. Some models allow access from either side of the lift, while others are accessible from just the driver’s side.

A variation of these types of lifts, used with minivans, picks up like other outside lifts, but then slides inside the vehicle for inside storage.

Inside mobility lifts are available as trunk lifts for cars and rear/side lifts for vans, minivans and trucks. Most types of this lift utilize an easy-to-operate manual swing lift to move the scooter into the vehicle.

Other models can help if you have a tight-spaced trunk or a situation where the scooter must be picked up along side of your car because of an in-the-way bumper.
