Inside Electric Lifts
Inside lifts are designed to work in most car trunks, truck beds, vans or mini-vans. This type of lift would usually be mounted inside the vehicle and wired to the vehicle battery for power. Several options are available to lift manual wheelchairs, power chairs or scooters into your vehicle. Most of these electric lift systems require a docking device to be attached to your power chair or scooter, and they are operated with a wired or wireless remote control. Depending on your vehicle/lift configuration you can load your scooter or power chair with the seat on or off into your vehicle.
