Transportation should help create freedom not become another obstacle.
For individuals and families who use a wheelchair, powerchair, or mobility scooter, loading that equipment into a vehicle can be one of the most difficult parts of getting from one place to another.
Jake’s Trailer Sales carries the Harmar brand in Sheffield, Alabama, to help customers explore solutions for transporting mobility equipment with compatible cars, SUVs, vans, minivans, and pickup trucks.
Harmar manufactures vehicle lifts designed to transport wheelchairs, powerchairs, and mobility scooters without requiring the user or caregiver to manually lift the entire mobility device. Its vehicle-lift categories include hitch-mounted, hybrid, and hoist-style solutions.
Mobility devices can be heavy, awkward, and difficult to load safely.
A properly selected vehicle lift can make transportation simpler while reducing the physical work involved in moving the device.
But choosing the right lift isn’t simply about picking the model with the highest weight capacity. Compatibility matters. The vehicle matters. The mobility device matters. The hitch or cargo-area configuration matters. And the way the individual will operate the system matters.
That’s why Harmar encourages customers to work with a trusted dealer and provides a vehicle compatibility calculator designed to help identify suitable lift options.
Hybrid Vehicle Lifts: Hybrid systems combine aspects of an exterior platform with interior storage. The mobility device is loaded onto a platform, and the lift moves it into a compatible vehicle’s cargo area. Harmar identifies hybrid platforms as one of its primary inside-vehicle solutions for compatible scooters and powerchairs.
This brand is especially relevant at Jake’s because many of Jake’s customers already drive trucks.
Harmar offers vehicle-lift solutions specifically designed for compatible pickup-truck applications, including hitch-mounted and hoist configurations for wheelchairs, powerchairs, and mobility scooters.
A customer may want the mobility device carried behind the truck, while another may prefer a system that places it into the truck bed.
The correct solution depends on both the truck and the mobility equipment.
Before selecting a lift, be prepared to provide information such as:
Harmar’s compatibility tools use vehicle and mobility-device information to help narrow the available options.
This is an area where choosing correctly matters much more than simply choosing quickly.
Unlike Jake’s Big Tex, CM, Rock Solid, and Better Built inventory, Jake’s current indexed online inventory does not presently display individual Harmar lift products.
Jake’s overall inventory page currently focuses on trailers, truck beds, hitches, and related equipment.
For that reason, we recommend contacting Jake’s directly for current Harmar availability, ordering options, compatibility assistance, and any installation information rather than assuming a specific lift is in stock.
This also gives the Jake’s team an opportunity to gather the vehicle and mobility-device information needed before recommending a product.
Depending on the lift, Harmar makes solutions for manual wheelchairs, powerchairs, and mobility scooters. Different models have different compatibility requirements and capacities.
Yes. Harmar offers lift solutions for compatible pickup trucks, including hitch-mounted and truck-bed/hoist applications.
No. Vehicle, mobility-device, hitch, cargo-space, and capacity compatibility all need to be considered. Harmar provides a compatibility calculator to help narrow the options.
Some Harmar hoist and hybrid systems are designed to transport mobility equipment inside compatible cargo areas or truck beds.
Individual Harmar units are not currently appearing in Jake's indexed online inventory, so contact Jake's for current availability and ordering information.
The right mobility lift isn’t simply another piece of equipment. It can make everyday transportation easier for the person using the mobility device and for the people helping
them. Let Jake’s help you start with the right questions and determine which Harmar options may be appropriate for your vehicle and mobility equipment.
