| A Little About Myself | Caregiver |
| Pros | Lightweight |
| Cons | Flimsy |
| Installed this product as by the instructions, upon first use the rubber pieces broke off the bottom of the ramp. The handle needs a foam coating for when it's hot. The instructions need to be improved. It works good on my truck, but when I installed it on the back of my SUV when the scooter is loaded the lift scrapes the ground on low spots and driveways. | |

| [...]It is heavy but when you want quality you will get the weight that you need, but not excessive weight. It is built well, and we are so glad we could get one reasonably priced. [...] a great product. R. Wright Joplin, MO. | |

| A Little About Myself | disabled |
| Pros | Easy Storage |
| Cons | Flimsy, Shakey |
| I was thrilled to get my lift. I'm disabled with my back and found that if I need to fold lift into closed position, I couldn't do it by myself because the pin would not slide in without shaking the life to get the pin to clear the hole. Also, I was really disappointed when the bolts and pins showed rust after just one day outside. | |

| A Little About Myself | Average Health |
| Pros | Easy instalation to car, Easy assembly, Easy Storage, Sturdy |
| Cons | |
| I use the carrier on exstended trips as we need to take the Scooter and breaking it down all the time is not a good option for me. It is wonderful to pull up park and unload the Scooter all together! Once the carrier is on the car it is great to use. The carrier is sturdy and although heavy to move works well for me. | |

| A Little About Myself | Average Health |
| Pros | Sturdy, Lightweight, Safe, Easy Storage |
| Cons | |
| I purchased this to carry a powerchair for my 95 year old stepfather. The carrier goes on my 88 Chevy pickup and fits just perfect and folds up and clears the shell window easily although I did leave one bolt out so the bracket that holds the ramp in the upright position when the chair is on the carrier is a little to close for comfort. I carry a 1/2" wentch to put the bracket in place when in use. Just a slightly minor inconvenince I can live with. I have the hidden hitch and I could drill another hole in the hitch and bring it out enough to clear easily but I like it like it is. It was as Brian Bradshaw advertised and I am happy with it. I am 59 years old and I can still get the carrier on and off fairly easy. I chose to leave it on though. A good deal for the money after I comparative shopped. Thanks again. | |

| Cons | |
| Service & Delivery | Delivery was prompt and customer service when ordering was very helpful. |
| Needed a transport for an electric wheelechair after my wife's surgery for a severely broken leg. The "Econo Lift" is ideal for this purpose. Backing out of parking spaces takes caution due to the extension of the platform. I added a vertical pole that can be seen from the rearview mirror as a visual aid for safely backing up. | |
