Buying a Scooter Lift



Buying a Scooter Lift
Installing a scooter lift on your vehicle is the best way to transport your mobility scooter or electric wheelchair. Many of these lifts are mechanical and others feature easy to use electrical powered buttons. You may choose a model that lets you carry your scooter or wheelchair attached to the back of your vehicle or you might want to have a model that lifts your unit right into the trunk of your car. Either way, you will be amazed at how easy it is to lift and transport your mobile unit.

All you have to do is visit a local dealer and tell him what you need. Your lift dealer knows his stuff and can help you pick just the right lift for your vehicle, your personal physical limitations and for the type of equipment you have. A lift designed especially for your mobility scooter lift you take your unit with you wherever you want to go. They are backed by warranties that are sure to meet your expectations.

When you make the decision to buy a lift, contact your dealer and let him know your vehicle make, model and year. Also let him know the scooter or wheelchair you intend to lift. He will then do his calculations and advise you if a lift will work for you. A reputable dealer will let you know immediately if your vehicle/scooter combination will work for the lift he has to sell.

You may be wondering if it is easy to install your scooter lift. The answer is "yes" and you should be able to do so all by yourself. Many lifts, like the manual models, slide easily onto a hitch that you have installed on the back of your vehicle. The entire process is very simple and you won't need to be an engineer to install your lift. You can have the hitch initially installed on your vehicle quite inexpensively at almost any local moving/storage company. For electrical lifts, you may have to drill into your vehicle's trunk or storage space and it may require some complicated wiring. For these types of lifts, most dealers recommend that you hire an auto mechanic to do the work for you.
