Mobility Scooter Lifts & Handicap Scooter Lifts

The transporting of large wheelchairs and scooters is tough work these days! Save your back! Mobility scooter lifts can make this backbreaking chore easier and can extend the range of your mobility infinitely.
If you are able to transfer from your scooter to get into a vehicle, or use your scooter only for longer distance activities, you may be able to use a handicap scooter lift. Electric scooter lifts assist you in lifting an un-occupied scooter and stowing it in your vehicle.

Chair Toppers
Convenience and style: two qualities that are blended seamlessly into the innovative design of the Chair Topper, a custom wheelchair carrier. The Chair Topper from BraunAbility was developed to assist wheelchair users who are able to transfer. The chair topper automatically folds and stores a conventional manual folding wheelchair inside a stylish, weather-resistant car-top compartment. The need to store your wheel chair in the trunk or backseat of the vehicle is eliminated, allowing family and friends to enjoy the comfort of your vehicle.
The Chair Topper’s universal mounting systems ensure that these wheelchair carriers will fit most automobiles and light trucks. The Chair Topper adds only 21 ½” in height, and the sleek plastic shell gives a finished, automotive look. A convenient hand-held control operates the folding, lifting and storing of your wheelchair. The folding, lifting and storing cycle takes only 30 seconds to complete and the smooth operation ensures your chair is carefully handled and transported without damage or undo wear and tear.
