Your “go-to” for all your mobility needs
Choosing the proper vehicle lift is not a one-size-fits-all process. The wrong lift can not only be a safety hazard but can cause damage to your vehicle. Tri-State Mobility has partnered with Harmar to provide auto lifts that will safely secure and transport a powerchair or scooter. Our comprehensive range of styles, features, and capabilities ensure that your will enjoy the ideal solution for your mobility device, vehicle and lifestyle.
Auto Lifts are designed to safely transport a power chair, scooter, or manual wheelchair on a vehicle. The specific lift you choose depends on the combination of vehicle, hitch class, mobility device, and the user’s physical capabilities. It is about more than price or availability.
The following will help you understand the factors involved. However, you should always discuss the lift choice with an authorized Harmar Dealer who has the training and knowledge to help narrow down the choices.
Vehicles range from compacts to full-size cars, SUVs, vans, and trucks. Each offers different weight capacities and interior space, affecting the mobility device it can carry and whether the mobility device can fit inside the vehicle or outside.
Auto lifts are designed with varying degrees of automation from manual to partially automated to fully automatic securement and lifting. The user should feel comfortable and capable of handling whatever that specific lift style requires.
Outside Lifts
An outside lift is attached to the vehicle by means of a hitch and consists of an actuator and platform which secures and carries the mobility device on the back of the vehicle.
Function: Outside lifts include a platform that loads, secures, and transports a mobility device outside the vehicle.
Benefits: Outside lifts do not waste cargo space inside the vehicle. One switch automatically lifts and secures the mobility device.
Models: Harmar outside lifts fit Class I, II, or III hitches to carry scooters and powerchairs. They range from our light-weight profile series that fits compact cars to heavy-duty models with up to 400 pounds capacity for extra-large mobility devices.
Outside Profile Lifts are sleek, contemporary designs that blend into the vehicle’s styling. They are compact but powerful, to carry many powerchairs and scooters securely providing better visibility out the rearview mirror.
Swing-Away option allows an unoccupied outside lift to be easily pivoted away from the vehicle to gain clear access to the trunk, lift gate or tailgate. Always verify vehicle compatibility with a dealer.
Manual Lifts are a simple design that make it compatible with the most scooters and power chairs – with no chair or scooter modifications needed. The folding ramp makes loading and unloading a simple matter. Its low weight and high lifting capacity make it ideal for those with specialty scooters or chairs.
Inside Lifts
Hoists and inside lifts are mounted in the vehicle’s cargo area with a hoist mechanism that swings outside the vehicle to load and lift the mobility device into the vehicle.
Function: Inside lifts position a mobility device into a cargo space to store and transport it within the vehicle.
Benefits: Inside lifts fit most vehicles with cargo areas, including mini – vans, vans, SUVs or trucks. They handle weights up to 400 lbs.
Models: Economy to premium models offer a choice of automation and power assistance such as power lifting, extension, and rotation.
Hybrid Lifts
Hybrid Lifts are mounted in the vehicle’s cargo area but are designed to move out and down so that the mobility device is loaded onto the platform on the ground.
Function: Hybrid lifts combine a drive-on platform for convenience with the ability to automatically store the power chair or scooter inside the vehicle.
Benefits: Hybrid lifts fit into mini-vans, SUVs, full-size vans and some cross-overs with no modifications to the mobility device needed.
Models: Hybrid lifts range from the industry’s most compact to heavy-duty models with lifting capacities up to 400 lbs.
