Wheel Chair Carrier Models

A wheel chair carrier is a practical way to take your mobility chair along in a car, van or truck. Properly installed, a carrier will cause no damage or loss of value to your vehicle, and may even be installed on leased vehicles.

There are four different carrier models:

  • An automatic car-top carrier operates with switches and features a motor-driven hoist. Before purchasing this type of carrier, your car roof must be able to accommodate both its size and weight. Intended for manual chairs.

  • A bumper-mounted carrier for a manual wheel chair may require drilling a couple of holes into the bumper, which can be filled in later if the carrier is removed. Most of these carriers can be removed easily to access the trunk.

  • A hitch-mounted carrier tips down to load the mobility chair and can be simply moved back into place and locked.

  • The pick-up carrier is used with pickup trucks. After the wheel chair is folded, the lift picks up the chair with an electric motor and stores it on the truck bed.
  • All carrier models are designed to withstand inclement weather though many sellers recommend covering your wheel chair to protect it from rain and snow.
