Lifts
*Price Range :$600 - $18,000
An Automatic lift will fold, unfold, lower and rise by operating a switch on either side of the lift, on the dash or outside the van. The Semi-Automatic lift operates similar to the automatic lift, but requires manual folding and unfolding of the platform.
Electrical Mechanical Lift - operates by chain or screw rod and depends upon the power provided by the battery.
Hydraulic Lift - uses a pump and cylinder to raise and lower the lift in conjunction with the van's battery.
Outside Lift - requires installing a trailer hitch as the scooter is carried on the outside of the vehicle.
Pickup Truck Lift - picks up the scooter and stores it in the bed of the truck. It can lift a rigid chair (manual), an electric scooter or a power wheelchair.
Platform Lift - (as shown above) requires either two side doors or one sliding door on a van and is stored either on the side, the rear or under the floor of the van.
Rotary (Swing) Lift - beneficial because of the parking conveniences, due to less room needed to enter and exit the van. This device swings into the van and the lift platform sits on the floor in the middle of the van.
Trunk Lift - puts the scooter into the trunk, provided the scooter measures less than the trunk.
Under-the-Floor Lift - only pump and motor are located inside.
