Handicap scooters are now popular assistive equipment to the disabled, handicapped, and elderly. Through it, they can explore the outdoors, interact in the neighbourhood, and look at themselves in a more positive light. However, the handicap scooter needs some necessary accessories to enable the consumer to maximize its use. One accessory needed for the handicap scooter is a carrier. There is a variety of scooters and wheelchairs being sold in the market but one of the recommended carriers is the Harmar AL 100 scooter lift, one of the most popular Harmar carriers today. This transports a handicap scooter in a class three receiver towards the vehicle in a safe manner since it comes with a scooter restraint arm.
There are many types of Harmar carriers that customers can choose from depending on what fits one’s requirements and budget. The carrier, using the car’s battery or a separate rechargeable battery pack, lifts the scooter with the use of an electrical motor. Carriers may either be installed externally or internally. The Harmar carrier is externally installed and is directly attached to the vehicle’s hitch. A Class II hitch is needed in particular to support a maximum weight. With a lifting capacity of up to 350 pounds, Harmar Al 100 is fully automated and provides you with easy operation.
Since Harmar Al 100 is an external lift, it can be installed with ease and also can be removed quickly while internal lifts are built within the vehicle requiring a minimum of one row of seats for it to be disconnected. So if handicap scooters or other mobility scooters are frequently brought in traveling around, a carrier for your vehicle could be an advantage for easy access to your scooter. However, there is a need to cover your scooter since it is usually exposed to dust and heat when using the Harmer Al 100.
