Instead of relying on others to help you get into and out of a vehicle, you can gain a greater amount of independence by installing a mobility lift on your vehicle. Most individuals with disabilities will agree that the less they have to depend on other people, the more free they feel. With modern wheelchair lifts, getting into and out of a vehicle has never been easier.

The type of mobility lift that you need will depend on the type of chair that you have in addition to other factors. The weight, height, and width of your wheelchair (or scooter) can make a considerable difference in what types of wheelchair lifts you’ll be able to choose from. There are dual-arm lifts with large weight capacities. However, if you don’t need such a heavy-duty lift, you will be able to save money by purchasing a single-arm lift. Single-arm lifts have the added benefits of not taking up so much space and allowing other passengers to easily enter the vehicle since these types of lifts do not block the entry way when they are not in use.

There are advanced wheelchair lifts that include dual arms and a split platform. This eliminates the problem of the lift obstructing entry for other passengers. For an even more sleek design, many modern lifts include a hydraulic pump to allow smooth and quick operation.

Whatever type of mobility lift you choose to install on your vehicle, it is important to learn about all of the included features. Part of ensuring that you get the most from the money you spend on a lift system is making sure that the equipment is designed by a reputable mobility company, is reliable, and safe.
Features such as handrails and a non-skid platform are important. At the same time, the wheelchair lifts that you are considering should store compactly away inside of your vehicle or underneath the vehicle.

Discuss your requirements with a qualified mobility consultant. This will allow you to find a customized solution that is suitable for the make and model of your vehicle. Discuss your budget and what features you are looking for in a lift system. Experienced mobility consultants will be able to ask the right questions so that they can help you find a model that is most fitting to your needs. With a custom lift system, you will gain the freedom and independence during travel that you’ve always wanted.
