Chair-Topper
The Chair Topper’s universal mounting systems ensure this wheelchair lift will fit most vehicles; send us a message or give us a call to check your vehicle’s suitability. It adds only 21.5 inches 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. It takes only 30 seconds to complete the cycle, and the smooth operation ensures that your chair is carefully handled and transported without damage or undue wear and tear.
This wheelchair car lift is available in driver- or passenger-side configurations. Due to its horizontal operation, the Chair Topper may be operated in home or public parking garages, with a minimum amount of space required beside the vehicle – a great feature for tight parking situations.
