Driving power chairs bring joy and a sense of fulfillment. You can live in ecstasy and have fun-filled ride in amusement parks, getaway destinations, or even in a market place. Power chairs are great machines built to aid people to have an easy ride. The power chairs or wheelchairs are so innovatively designed that when not in use they automatically fold to be lifted and carried in vehicles. However, when the question of stowing arises, it is hard for owners to lift the vehicle and place it inside a SUV. They are quite heavy and require a lot of muscle to do so. Also, if the owner has restricted mobility issues then too the question of lifting the vehicle does not arise.

Power wheelchair lifts are specifically designed for this purpose. The lifts have an amazing lifting capacity and can haul up mobility vehicles of any type. These are like power chairs, mobility scooters, manual wheelchairs and other mobility products. The 12 V motor of lifts is capable of raising Harmar Universal Scooter, Full- Size Buzzaround LX Luxury 3 wheel Scooter or Patriot 4-Wheel Scooter on its platform.

The best thing about an Outlander universal lift is that it mounts on a vehicle’s rear with hitch sizes II, III, IV. This is also the case with every other power lift that makes stowing of mobility products inside a car/ SUV/ truck very simple. Just by pressing the toggle switches, the up and down movement of the lift starts. It can be adjusted and brought down to enable a power wheelchair or scooter to drive on its large platform to be lifted.

Another very important feature of the lift is a full protection given to scooters by locking them down on the platform. The automatic lockdown arm ensures that a vehicle after a manual override on the lift’s platform is fully safe for being stowed inside a SUV. Some lifts also secure scooters with a strap on the platform. So, now even if the swing away adaptor swings the vehicle during lift, it never falls as it remains completely fixed to the bottom platform of the lift.

Some lifts such as the Armstrong hitch to the side of minivans or SUVs. It easily lifts and stows mobility vehicles inside the rear of cars and then locks the position. The platform travels 26’’ from ground and stows the vehicle inside any crossover. It is specifically designed for the transfer of vehicles of the grade of mobility scooters.

If you are using the AL500HD Universal Power Chair Lift then it provides you a very sturdy Stars -N-Stripes Aluminum Deck. Another interesting feature of this lift is it keeps your license plate mount visible from a distance while driving a car with the power chair at its back. The license plate keeps cops away to unnecessarily trouble you with enquiries about the carriage.

A person named Paul William using this lift says "he now no longer has to think about keeping space empty inside his SUV for a mobility scooter. The AL500HD stows it outside his SUV at the back saving a lot of valuable inside space. So, now he can drive with comfort to distance places while still carrying his mobility scooter wherever he is heading to."

Transportation of scooters has become easier after the introduction of power wheelchair lifts. It saves a lot of time and stress. Scooters are lifted, stowed, and carried to distant places on crossover vehicles. On reaching the desired destination, the lift brings the vehicle down for reuse. All this happens at the press of control buttons. Power chairs are easily lifted by placing them on the lift’s platform without the need of any modification.

The platform that carries the scooter is also adjustable. So, depending on the size of the vehicle lifted, the platform is adjusted. The adjustable range of the platform is normally kept at 34’’ to 42’’. The lifting capacity of the platform is kept at 350 lbs. So, now a scooter weighing 350 lbs is easily lifted on the platform by a powerful motor of the lift. The extraordinary feat of the power lift is that it weighs just around 40 lbs while it lifts weight up-to 350 lbs.

For the users, it is a boon. Hand dexterity, strength, and balance are no longer required to lift the vehicle manually. In-fact, due to the complete absence of a manual lift, people using it feel a great degree of comfort while raising a mobility vehicle on a crossover van. No extra labor cost is involved in stowing the vehicle. During stowing, the lift swivels on steel balls that increases maneuverability of the lift.

Power wheelchair lifts that are side hitched provide a complete option of second row or third row use when the lift is not carrying a power chair. An extra seating arrangement can be made of the lift if the need be. This further exaggerates the usability of this innovative lifting system.

There is no worry about automatic switching off the lift. When not in use and the rear hatch is closed, the rear hatch sensors automatically disable the lift. It can be used in the dark with the puddle lights lighting up the area where the lift is placed. So, driving scooters on to its platform is no more a problem in dark. Whenever the battery power reaches under 10 volts, the battery starts to beep and flash.

In terms of affordability, the power chair lifts are not priced very high. So, people can afford to buy and install them on their SUVs. On buying, the extraordinarily built wheelchair lifts solve the lifting and carrying concerns of mobility vehicles. They are made of sturdy material and so wear and tear of parts normally does not take place. Being covered with a three year warranty program, the product can be used for long without repairs. Further, SmartTek® remote technology incorporated enables quick identification of errors or defects.

Ease of use of the power lift gets facilitated with the hand control mechanism that controls the lift’s movement. It is lowered and raised with the help of the control buttons. Owners no longer have to do anything manually. Everything happens at your fingertips with the press of buttons. The battery support is such that your excitement never dies down and you can keep lowering or lifting your chair during travel to distant places.
