<p>The <strong>Harmar AL215 Axis I Low Profile Inside Hoist Lift</strong> is Harmar's lightest and most economical inside hoist lift — a low-profile crane-arm system that hooks to the mobility device and hoists it into the vehicle's cargo area through the rear door or hatch. At just 42 lbs installed it is by far the lightest inside lift in the Harmar lineup, making it the right first step for users whose vehicle can't support the installation weight of a larger inside lift, or who simply want the most affordable reliable inside hoist available. Rated for manual wheelchairs, power wheelchairs, and scooters up to 250 lbs. Power lifting with manual rotation. Extremely adjustable arm height (26"–34") and arm length (21"–32"). Integrates with most minivans, SUVs, vans, and trucks. Standard installation is passenger side — driver side requires the DS01 option. Backup camera fully usable. Docking device not included. Made in the USA.</p>

<div class="mds-features">
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>42 lb Installed · Lightest Inside Hoist in the Harmar Lineup</strong>
At 42 lbs installed, the AL215 is the lightest inside lift Harmar makes — significantly lighter than the AL225 (47 lbs), the AL055 (35 lbs on its own but adds more vehicle load), and far lighter than the power inside lifts. This matters for vehicles with tighter cargo weight limits and for installers working in confined cargo areas. The low-profile design stays compact inside the vehicle when not in use, minimizing intrusion into the cargo space. For users who want an affordable, reliable inside hoist without the installation complexity of the larger Axis II or III lifts, the AL215 is the right starting point.
</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>Power Lift · Manual Rotation · Extremely Adjustable Arm</strong>
The AL215 uses powered lifting — press the switch and the arm raises the device into the vehicle automatically. Rotation is manual, using a mechanical stop system to position the device once it is inside the cargo area. The arm adjusts in both height (26"–34") and length (21"–32") to accommodate a wide range of vehicle cargo heights and device sizes. The integrated offset post delivers the device to the side of the vehicle for easier loading from the passenger position. Weather-resistant hand control included.
</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>Backup Camera Usable · Works with Most Vehicles · Inside Storage</strong>
Because the AL215 stores the device inside the vehicle's cargo area, the backup camera is fully unobstructed — a significant practical advantage over all exterior hitch-mount lifts. The device is protected from weather and road debris during transit. Compatible with most minivans, SUVs, vans, and trucks. Universal base adapter included. Optional battery pack for independent power. Custom adapters and custom docking devices available for specific device types. Driver side installation requires DS01 option — specify at order. 3-year warranty · Made in USA.

<input type="checkbox" id="al215-faq1">
<label for="al215-faq1">What is the difference between the AL215 and the AL225?</label>
<div class="mds-faq-body">Both are inside hoist lifts with power lifting and manual rotation. The AL215 is lighter (42 lbs installed), has a shorter arm range (26"–34" height, 21"–32" length), and is rated to 250 lbs — it is the more economical entry-level choice. The AL225 is rated to 250 lbs as well but offers a longer arm reach and more adjustability for larger vehicle cargo spaces.
