Many mobility scooter and wheelchair users lament the fact that they can’t take their mobility devices everywhere they go. A vehicle lift can help solve this problem as it is specifically designed to help safely load and unload a mobility device onto a vehicle.

Why Use a Vehicle Lift?

There are several different types of vehicle lifts, including inside, outside, and hybrid vehicle lifts. Vehicle lifts are a godsend for people with mobility impairments. A vehicle lift can help improve quality of life as the users can bring their mobility device almost anywhere and they won’t have to stand for long periods. Vehicle lifts also allow users to be more active and spend quality time with the people who matter.

Vehicle lifts can be used to load and unload a mobility scooter or wheelchair onto any type of vehicle including SUVs, hatchbacks, and luxury sedans. Quality vehicle lifts are designed to withstand the elements and rigors of everyday use.

A vehicle lift provides an easy and convenient way to get a mobility device into and out of a car. Vehicle lifts are easy to install and some models even attach easily to existing second row hardware without any drilling.

They come with a range of features such as interlock protection that holds them in their position when the rear door is locked, preventing them from getting stuck or crushed.

Vehicle lifts are very easy to use. Many lifts have a drive-on/drive-off dual entry platform that allows for an even faster and convenient loading and unloading of mobility devices.

Things to Consider When Selecting a Vehicle Lift

There are several things to check when buying a vehicle lift. First and foremost, make sure that the vehicle lift you are considering has a rugged construction and can support the weight of your mobility device.

Look for a weather-resistant vehicle lift. Some models come with an optional wireless remote control that allow the user to use them from within the vehicle.

Many lifts manufactured these days come with the state-of-the-art anti-rotate strap system designed to ensure a better fit in the vehicle.

Remember, your vehicle lift will take up some space. You may not need some extra space now, but may have to create some room in the future as your family expands. Look for a compact vehicle lift that can be disassembled easily so you don’t have to get rid of items in your car to create some extra space. Make sure the model you are considering has lightweight components that are easy to disassemble.
