The Best Lift Systems for Heavy Duty Mobility Scooters
Sean Hagerty has a condition that made him purchase a heavy-duty mobility scooter. Hagerty found that he needs a vehicle lift to transport his disability scooter when the distance is too far to roll there.
Hagerty chose the AL301XLHD Heavy Duty Fusion Vehicle Lift.
“Harmar quality is fantastic — just as I was told,” Hagerty said, referring to the manufacturer of the AL301 XL HD vehicle lift in his five-star lift system review. “This is a great lift. I couldn’t recommend it more strongly.”
Vehicle lifts have become more popular in recent years as Americans increased their purchases of mobility scooters. These products help place the disability scooters securely into a vehicle.
While we recommend AL301 XL HD vehicle lift, this article will also highlight the Pride Commander 450 Mobility Device Vehicle Lift and the AL435T Tailgater 3-Axis Truck Lift. Both products are among the most popular sold from Mobility Scooters Direct.
AL301 XL HD Vehicle Lift is the Best Among Experts
The AL301 XL HD vehicle lift is designed by Harmar primarily for heavy-duty mobility scooters. The lift system can accommodate products with weights of up to 400 pounds. It is considered one of the biggest and most powerful outdoor lifts on the market.
The AL301 XL HD lift system has a hitch height between 5 inches and 18 inches, which is powered by a battery. The hitch size is primarily Class III.
The platform length is between 39 inches and 53 inches while the width is 36 inches. The deck is made from robust aluminum.
Despite the immense weight capacity strength, the AL301 XL HD vehicle lift weighs 102 pounds. It is simple to install, but we also offer installation for customers in some places within the country.
One of the main reasons we are proud to offer this product — besides being among the best lift systems on the market — is that it was made in the United States. We love supporting efficient workers within our country.
Pride Commander 450 Mobility Device Vehicle Lift is Robust and Effective Product for Pickup Trucks
Pride is known for manufacturing some of the best products on the market. The Pride Commander 450 lift system is among those, as it is sturdy and easy to use.
The product is immensely strong, with impressive lifting power that can be controlled with an up or down button and an in or out button with a remote.
The Pride Commander 450 lift system has a 2-axis and 3-axis format.
The 2-axis version has been redesigned. It is viewed highly by experts and customers, as it is one of the top powered boom style lifts. It is designed primarily for pickup trucks.

The boom adjustment range is between 26 inches and 38 inches.
The product works for several types of vehicles, including full-size vans, minivans, crossover, and SUV.
One of the strengths of the Pride Commander 450 vehicle lift is it is impervious to rust. For customers that live near the coast, it is immensely. The product is powder-coated, which extends the amount of time the Pride Commander 450 lift system can fight damages.
The weatherproof design shields the vehicle lift from additional elements, such as dryness, humidity, rain, hail, snow, and excessive heat.

Many first time customers have been surprised that the lift system isn’t as complicated to use as one might fear.

Lift Systems Accommodate Heavy Duty Mobility Scooters
These mobility scooter lifts work with a variety of our products. However, they are specialized for heavy-duty mobility scooters. One of the products the customers often pair the lift systems with is the Drive Medical Panther Heavy Duty Scooter.
The Panther disability scooter weighs 264 pounds.
People who own the Panther mobilty scooter will often travel to places without needing a lift system. The product has an 8 miles per hour maximum speed powered by an 800-watt x 4500 RPM motor. The long distance mobility scooter, which is equipped with sealed lead acid 12V 50AH batteries, can cover up to 25 miles per total charge.
With those features, the owner of the quality disability scooter can simply travel to the grocery store, for instance, without needing to take his or her vehicle. It’s the independence like that, which has made so many of our customers value their products purchased from Mobility Scooters Direct.
But, when the customer needs to drive to Disney World with his or her children, then we recommend having one of our robust lift systems to securely load the mobility scooter into the vehicle for safe storage.
