Wheelchair and Scooter Lift FAQs
Do I need the swing away option?
The swing away option is a great feature if you have an SUV or a truck because it allows you to still have access to the back of your vehicle.
Are wheelchair and scooter lifts compatible with trucks?
Yes, we have several wheelchair and scooter lift options that are compatible with trucks. These options are bed-mounted and help lift the equipment into the bed and secure it through travel.
Can I mount a wheelchair or scooter lift using a hitch?
Yes, hitch mount wheelchair and scooter lifts are available.
Will the wheelchair or scooter lift take up a lot of space?
The amount of space the wheelchair or scooter lift takes up depend on the lift and wheelchair being stowed. Most interior lifts are designed to fold out of the way when not in use to give you optimal visibility and interior storage.
How much does a scooter lift cost?
The costs vary depending on the type of lift you select, the vehicle you have and installation time, and options you may want on the lift. We also need to determine if your vehicle needs a hitch for the lift if you are considering an exterior mounted scooter lift.
What should I consider when getting an exterior or hitch mounted lift?
The biggest consideration when looking at lifts that will stow inside your vehicle vs. outside your vehicle is the weather and where you live. For example, in Arizona with temperatures that get to 115 degrees in the summer, your scooter may get very hot to the touch. On the other extreme, in Buffalo, NY with temperatures below freezing and lots of snow, you want to ensure your scooter is protected.
Which scooter lift is the best?
The best scooter lift for you, may not be the best lift for someone else. There are a few factors that go into our recommendations for a lift; what type of mobility device (scooter or wheelchair) do you have, what is the year/make/model of your vehicle and lastly what is your lifestyle. All these questions will help guide us to the best recommendations for you.
Does Medicare cover the cost of a scooter lift?
Unfortunately, not. While Medicare covers a lot of equipment to use in your home, they do not cover scooter lifts for your vehicle. We do have multiple options for financing with low monthly payments – we are here to help.
