The Value of Vehicle Lifts: The Key to Traveling with Your Scooter or Wheelchair
October 2, 2025
If you use a scooter, wheelchair, or powerchair, you already know how important it is for your independence. But what about when it’s time to leave home? Getting your mobility device into your car, SUV, or van can be difficult, time-consuming, and even unsafe without help. That’s why Harmar vehicle lifts are such a game-changer.
With more than 25 years of experience designing and manufacturing lifts in the U.S., Harmar makes it simple to bring your mobility device anywhere life takes you. Whether you need a scooter lift for your car or a wheelchair lift for your SUV, we’ve got a solution that fits.
What Is a Vehicle Lift?
A vehicle lift is a device installed inside or attached to the back of your vehicle that safely carries your mobility device. Instead of lifting heavy equipment yourself, the lift does the work for you. Harmar offers a variety of options—like hitch-mounted lifts, hybrid platform lifts, and inside lifts—to match your vehicle and lifestyle.
Why Choose a Harmar Vehicle Lift?
1. Independence and Freedom
No more waiting on family or caregivers to help load your chair. With Harmar lifts like the AL100 Universal Scooter Lift or the AL600 Hybrid Platform Lift, you can easily transport your device with the push of a button. Independence is built in.
2. Safety for Everyone
Scooters and power chairs can weigh hundreds of pounds. Lifting them by hand puts you and your loved ones at risk. Harmar lifts are engineered to handle the heavy lifting safely, protecting both you and your device.
3. Protecting Your Investment
Mobility devices are valuable—and essential. Harmar lifts, like the AL300 Fusion Lift, secure your device to prevent bumps, scrapes, or travel damage, helping extend its lifespan.
4. Everyday Convenience
From quick grocery runs to long road trips, Harmar lifts make daily travel simple. Options like the AL003 Tilt N’ Tote for manual wheelchairs or the AL500 Power Chair Lift keep you moving without the stress of complicated loading.
5. Options for Every Vehicle and Lifestyle
- Hitch lifts mount to the back of most SUVs, trucks, and vans.
- Hoist lifts stow your device inside the vehicle, safe from weather.
- Hybrid lifts like the AL600 offer the best of both worlds.
With your local Harmar dealer, you can choose the lift that fits your exact needs.
Who Benefits Most from a Vehicle Lift?
- Seniors aging in place who want to stay active and independent.
- Caregivers who need to reduce physical strain.
- Anyone with a scooter or wheelchair looking for a safe, reliable way to transport it.
