An auto lift is a very important decision and should not be taken lightly.  As automobile trunks are getting smaller and smaller mini-vans and SUV's are becoming the vehicles of choice for individuals needing mobility equipment.  

A few years ago 90 percent of four door cars made could accomodate a scooter in the trunk of their cars.  Today only 5% of vehicles can be used with a trunk lift.  Most mini-vans and SUV's can accommodate scooter lifts.

A new trend is towards outside lifts which can be used with any vehicle that can handle a class II or class III square hitch.  

Before selecting a lift, try to look ahead and determine if the equipment you are using today will be functional for the next five years.  I have seen many people buy a car and a scooter, and after a few years, require a powered wheelchair, which cannot be transported in an automobile.

Before making any decision, find a supplier you can trust and work with them.  You may pay a few more bucks, but they will be well worth it.  Look below for a few of the lift manufacturers.
