This online tool assists users in determining the appropriate lift system for their specific mobility device and vehicle. It typically requires input such as the device type (e.g., scooter, power chair), its weight, and the make and model of the vehicle. The tool then provides a selection of compatible lifts, streamlining the process of finding the right equipment. For instance, someone with a heavy-duty power chair and a pickup truck would receive different recommendations than someone with a lightweight scooter and a sedan.
Matching the correct lift to both the mobility device and vehicle is crucial for safety and functionality. An improperly matched lift can lead to damage to the vehicle, the device, or even injury to the user. Historically, finding the right lift required extensive research and consultation with dealers. This automated system simplifies the process, saving users time and effort while ensuring a safe and appropriate fit. It empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their mobility equipment.
