Outside Lifts
Harmar’s outside lifts attach to the rear of most vehicles and RV’s that have a trailer/receiver hitch mount. They are easily installed by Maryland Mobility Lifts and have a Swing Away Option that allows an unoccupied outside lift to be easily pivoted away from the vehicle to gain clear access to the trunk, lift gate or tailgate. These lifts carry power wheelchairs and scooters up to 350lbs., and have several options available for mounting in class II or III receivers.
Outside Lifts
Inside Lifts
Harmar’s Inside lifts installed by Maryland Mobility Lifts are made to lift a scooter or wheelchair into the rear trunk/hatch area of a vehicle, or into the bed of a pick-up truck. These lifts come fully powered, or there is a more value lift that is manual powered. These lifts have a capacity of 250lbs to 350lbs. These lifts are manufactured to the highest standards, and are installed by factory certified technicians.

Harmar’s Hybrid Lifts mount into the back or side of most SUV’s, vans and mini vans. These lifts require no drilling into the vehicle and securely mount into the 3rd row or comparable seat position. The lifts are fully powered, and have a docking station for your scooter or wheelchair to securely lock into place while the vehicle is in motion. Hybrid Platform Lifts combines the simplicity of a drive-on, drive-off platform with all the benefits of carrying your mobility device inside a vehicle. The largest travel distance in its class makes this lift compatible with most enclosed vehicles including SUV’s, vans, and mini vans.

Facts and questions about Lifts
Q: How can I order a Harmar Mobility product?
A: Harmar Mobility products are available exclusively through Harmar's nationwide network of dealers. It is imperative to have a qualified dealer who is authorized to install, demonstrate and service your product. Use the Dealer Locator on the left-hand side of the page to find a Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealer in your area. |
Q: Is this lift compatible with my vehicle?
A: Harmar Mobility's knowledgeable authorized dealers will be glad to discuss your needs and recommend the proper lift for your application. |
Q: Is my lift weather resistant?
A: Yes. The lift is designed to be fully weather resistant and designed to withstand outdoor use. The remote hand controls available with some models, however, are not weather resistant and must be removed and stored inside the vehicle. |
Q: Can one lift be moved between two different vehicles?
A: While it is possible to move a lift from one vehicle to another, it is not recommended to do so frequently. If two different vehicles will be used often, we recommend having a lift installed on each vehicle. |
Q: What maintenance must be performed to keep the lift operating properly?
A: All Harmar Mobility products are designed and tested to operate flawlessly for years of trouble-free use with very little maintenance. Please refer to the Owners' Manual for specific product maintenance schedules. |
Q: Can the lift be plugged into the existing wiring on my vehicle?
A: No, all Harmar Mobility lifts must be powered by the supplied electrical harness. The harness has full-length leads that attach directly to the battery. |
Q: The lift is powered by my vehicle’s battery; what if my car looses power?
A: Many Harmar lifts have standard backup systems that allow them to be moved manually by Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealers and qualified mechanics such as roadside assistance technicians. Harmar Mobility recommends that end users should not attempt to use the manual override feature. |
Q: How does the lift connect to my vehicle?
A: The lift will be installed onto your vehicle via the vehicle’s hitch. A hitch is a device that is permanently attached to a vehicle to provide for towing or carrying capabilities. Harmar Mobility does not supply hitches; they can be purchased and installed through a local hitch dealer. |
Q: How much weight can a vehicle carry?
A: All trailer hitches are divided into distinct classes and are rated to a specific weight carrying and a weight towing capacity. The COMBINED weight of the lift and power chair or scooter must fall under the weight carrying capacity for the hitch and the vehicle. Your Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealer can assist you in determining the correct weight for your particular application. |
Q: My vehicle has a rear hatch or tailgate; will is still be accessible?
A: Harmar Mobility recommends the addition of the Swing Away Option, which allows you to easily pivot an unloaded, folded lift away from the vehicle for clear access to tail and lift gates. |
Q: Does the vehicle's suspension need to be strengthened?
A: If the vehicle will accept a Class III trailer hitch, you generally will not need to supplement the suspension. If the vehicle has, or will only accept, a Class II trailer hitch, call a Harmar Mobility Authorized Dealer or a hitch manufacturer for guidance. |
Q: How far behind my car will the lift extend?
A: In the folded position, Harmar's Outside Lift Systems extend approximately 12 inches behind the vehicle bumper. The Swing Away option will add approximately two more inches. |
Q: My vehicle is tall. Will the lift reach the ground?
A: The standard lift is adjustable to a maximum trailer hitch height of 19 inches. Additional reach is available through an extensive selection of hitch adapter accessories, which can be purchased through your authorized Harmar Mobility dealer. |
Q: How is my mobility device secured to this lift?
A: The lift uses an automatic hold down arm to secure your scooter to the lift. |
Q: Is a swing Away required for an outside lift?
A: Swing Away is an optional accessory that can be added to all outside lifts. It allows you to easily swing an UNLOADED lift away from the vehicle in order to gain full access to rear cargo areas. In vehicles equipped with lift gates or tailgates a swing away would be required in order to access these rear storage areas. |
Q: I already own my lift; can the Swing Away option be added?
A: Yes, a Swing Away may be added at any time. |
Q: Can I open the Swing Away with the chair or scooter on the lift?
A: NO. The Swing Away may only be opened when the lift is unloaded and folded position. |
