Pros Easy to handle. Folds nicely. I like the vehicle lift so far. |

Could have hinge bolts to be hinge pins. So ramp could be used on curbs. Have only used it twice. Going on vac. august 4 thru 9 will keep a diary. |
Service & Delivery good |
It NEEDS SOMETHING to stabilize it on vehicle. |

A Little About Myself Average Health and Athletic |
Pros Easy Storage and Lightweight |
Cons |
Used by 70 year-old man. Sometimes when downtown shopping, parking is hard to find. Then need the room to lower ramp, find it better at malls because more room is needed. |

JD from Fort Worth, TX would not recommend this to a friend. |
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. |

A Little About Myself Average Health |
Pros Easy Storage, Sturdy |
Cons |
It is heavy but when you want quality you will get the weight that you need, but it's not too heavy. It is built well, and we are so glad we could get one reasonably priced. Overall a great product. - R. Wright Joplin, MO. |

A Little About Myself Elderly |
Pros Safe, Sturdy, Easy Storage, Lightweight |
Cons |
Service & Delivery Couldn't believe how fast I received my order, only 2 days after placing my order. The sales rep was excellent and the whole process was a good experience. |
Allows me more independence, than my transfer chair. I love the mobility. It makes shopping, movies, and going out a pleasure. The price was also right! |

Diane from Camden, Ohio would not recommend this to a friend. |
A Little About Myself Disabled |
Pros Easy Storage |
Cons Flimsy, Shakey |
I was thrilled to get my wheelchair lift. I'm disabled with my back and found that if I need fold the lift into the closed position, I wouldn't be able to do it by myself. Also, I was really disappointed when the bolts and pins showed rust after just one day outside. |

None from NH would recommend this to a friend. |
A Little About Myself Average Health |
Pros Easy installation to car. Easy assembly. Easy Storage. Very 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. |

Geneorlie from Monrovia, California would recommend this to a friend. |
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 vehicle carrier goes on my '88 Chevy pickup and fits just perfectly. The carrier folds up and clears the shell window easily, although I did leave one bolt out so the bracket that the holds the ramp in the upright position when the chair is on the carrier. I also 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 the salesteam discribed 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. |

Bill from Clayton, NC would recommend this to a friend. |
A Little About Myself Average Health |
Pros Safe, Prompt Delivery, and Lightweight. |
Cons |
Service & Delivery Delivery was prompt and customer service 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. |
