A lift is a piece of equipment that is either housed within your vehicle or attached to your vehicle.
Lifts are designed to elevate a manual or power wheelchair or mobility scooter up and into the vehicle. The specific lift you choose will depend on the combination of vehicle, hitch class, mobility device, and your physical capabilities.

Occupied Lift
- Platform Lift
- This type of lift comes in both internal and external models and is the easiest storage solution. Users simply drive their mobility device onto the platform of the lift; secure their mobility device with the included manual or automatic retractable tie-downs; and activate the power lifting option with the included hand pendant. You and your equipment are then lifted and positioned inside the vehicle hatch. This option keeps mobility devices protected from weather and other damage.
Unoccupied Lift
- Platform Lift
- This type of lift comes in both internal and external models and is the easiest storage solution. Users simply drive their mobility device onto the platform of the lift; secure their mobility device with the included manual or automatic retractable tie-downs; and activate the power lifting option with the included hand pendant. Your equipment – and only your equipment – is then lifted and stored safely either outside on the rear of your vehicle, attached to a trailer hitch, or inside your vehicle hatch where it is protected from weather and other damage.
- Hoist Lift
- This type of lift is ideal for smaller mobility devices and those who desire more interior space in the rear of their vehicle. The best type of hoist lift for you will depend on your vehicle type, since different hoist lifts are available for trucks, SUVs, and vans.
