Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of hitch-mounted lifts?
Hitch-mounted lifts are rated as “easier” lifts to use because the lift does the work for you. Exit your mobility device, guide it onto the lift platform, and secure your mobility device to the lift. When ready, the lift can be operated with a switch, where it will raise your mobility device for travel. Because these lifts transport your scooter, powerchair, or manual wheelchair on the outer rear of your vehicle, your cargo space is untouched, allowing you to maintain full use of your vehicle’s interior.
What are the benefits of hybrid lifts?
Hybrid lifts are a mix of hitch and hoist lifts. Like hitch lifts, you must get off your scooter or powerchair and guide it onto the platform, then secure it with either four cam buckles or the hold-down bar. Then, much like hoist lifts, use the remote control to lift your powerchair or scooter into the rear cargo area in your vehicle. Because the hybrid lift is installed inside your vehicle, you’re able to maintain use of your backup camera and save space if parking in a garage.
What are the benefits of hoist lifts?
Hoist lifts help transport your mobility device by hooking onto your scooter, powerchair, or manual wheelchair, and hoisting it into your vehicle’s cargo area. Because the hoist lift is installed inside your vehicle, you’re able to maintain use of your backup camera and save space if parking in a garage.
How can I find a lift that will work with my mobility device and vehicle?
Harmar’s innovative Compatibility Calculator is the best in the industry. However, the Compatibility Calculator is only meant as a guide and will often return several results. Harmar’s authorized dealers will be able to discuss the various distinctions and confirm the proper lift for your specific need. Use our locator to find a dealer near you or contact us with any questions.
Do lifts for my mobility device require any modifications to my vehicle?
This depends on your vehicle and the type of lift that best fits your needs. Hitch-mounted lifts require a hitch to be added to your vehicle (if you don’t already have one installed). Hybrid and hoist lifts generally require little-to-no modifications, but may call for some drilling to the cargo area or truck bed floor in order to fasten/bolt the lifts into place.
How does the vehicle lift get power?
Vehicle lifts get power from the vehicle’s battery. The lift is connected to the vehicle’s electrical system, allowing it to operate via controls inside or near the lift. Some lifts can also be powered by an independent battery system specifically for the lift, ensuring it remains functional even if the vehicle’s main battery is low or off.
What maintenance must be performed to keep the lift operating properly?
All Harmar products are designed and tested to operate flawlessly for years of trouble-free use with very little maintenance. Please refer to the Owner’s Manual for specific product maintenance schedules. We also recommend scheduling regular professional inspections with your Harmar dealer to identify and address any potential issues, ensuring the lift stays safe and reliable!
