Description

The Harmar AL560 Automatic Universal Power Chair Lift is a fully automatic exterior hitch-mount platform lift for power chairs — the user drives their chair directly onto the 28.5" × 38.5" platform from either side using the joystick, and a padded hold-down arm automatically descends and secures the chair by pressing down on the seat. No manual straps, no docking device, no caregiver assistance required for the loading step. One-switch operation. Platform folds automatically when empty. No power chair modifications required — power chair must have flip-back arms. Class II or III hitch. 350 lb capacity. 105 lbs installed. Manual crank backup and license plate mount included. Optional swing-away available. Made in the USA. For users whose power chair is wider or longer, the AL560XL offers an extended 32.5" × 38.5" platform.

Before You Order — Flip-Back Arms Required · Compatibility Must Be Confirmed The AL560 requires the power chair to have flip-back arms — chairs with fixed arms are not compatible. Your vehicle needs a Class II or III hitch and a hitch height between 5" and 19". If your power chair is larger than the 28.5" platform width can accommodate, see the AL560XL with its wider 32.5" platform. We confirm compatibility on every order before it ships — no exceptions. Use the Harmar Compatibility Calculator below as a starting point then call us to verify. We provide local professional installation at all five of our Southwest Florida locations and coordinate professional installation nationwide through Harmar's authorized dealer network. 866-218-0902 · Mon–Fri 9AM–5PM · Sat 9AM–3PM.

Drive On. Hold-Down Arm Secures Automatically. Press a Button. Go.

Drive-On / Drive-Off · Automatic Padded Hold-Down Arm The AL560's loading sequence is fully hands-free from the user's perspective. The platform lowers to ground level; the power chair user drives directly onto the platform from either side using the chair's joystick; the vertically adjustable padded hold-down arm descends automatically and presses down on the seat to secure the chair. One switch lifts the platform to travel height. No straps to thread, no docking pin to engage, no caregiver assistance required. The wheel cradles adjust to provide a custom snug fit for each chair's wheelbase, providing additional lateral stability during transport.
28.5" × 38.5" Adjustable Platform · Class II or III Hitch The AL560's 28.5" × 38.5" platform accommodates most popular full-size power chairs. The adjustable wheel cradles adapt to different wheelbase widths. Class II or III hitch compatibility gives the AL560 broad vehicle reach — it works with minivans, SUVs, trucks, and vans equipped with either hitch class. Hitch height range is 5" to 19". For power chairs wider than 28.5", the AL560XL offers a 32.5" platform with the same automatic hold-down system. Call us to confirm which platform width your chair needs.
Manual Crank Backup · Automatic Fold · One-Switch Operation The platform folds automatically when the power chair is removed — press the switch and the platform rises vertically against the vehicle for a compact stowed profile. Manual crank backup allows the platform to be lowered in the event of a power failure. License plate mount included standard. Optional swing-away allows the folded lift to pivot aside for rear vehicle access without removing the device. Optional battery pack for independent power operation. 3-year transferable warranty · Made in USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both use the same automatic padded hold-down arm, drive-on/off platform, and one-switch operation. The only meaningful difference is platform width — the AL560 has a 28.5" × 38.5" platform while the AL560XL has a wider 32.5" × 38.5" platform for larger power chairs. The XL weighs 115 lbs installed vs 105 lbs for the standard. If your power chair fits comfortably on a 28.5" wide platform, the AL560 is the more economical choice. Call us with your chair's width to confirm. 866-218-0902.
No — the AL560 requires flip-back arms. The padded hold-down arm secures the chair by pressing down on the seat, and fixed arms prevent the arm from reaching the correct position. Call us and we will identify the right lift for a chair with fixed arms. 866-218-0902.
The AL500 uses four Q'Straint retractors that hook to the chair's frame — it is lighter (75 lbs) but requires a manual attachment step. The AL560 uses an automatic padded hold-down arm — no hooks to attach, purely drive-on and go. The AL560 requires flip-back arms; the AL500 does not have that restriction but uses a different securement approach. Call us and we will help determine which system fits your chair and your routine better. 866-218-0902.
Professional installation is required for warranty coverage and safe operation. We provide local installation at all five of our Southwest Florida locations and coordinate professional installation nationwide through Harmar's authorized dealer network. 866-218-0902.
