Before You Order — Compatibility Must Be Confirmed
The AL160 is designed for scooters only — it is not compatible with power wheelchairs. Fit depends on your scooter's wheelbase (must be between 30" and 42") and your vehicle's hitch class. A Class I hitch or greater is required. 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 before placing your order. 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.
Fully Powered, Streamlined, and Built for Scooters
Fully Powered Lift & Fold · Automatic Hold-Down
Both the lifting and folding functions are fully powered — guide your scooter onto the platform, press the button, and the lift does the rest. The automatic hold-down foot secures the scooter to the platform without manual straps or secondary securing steps. When the scooter is not loaded the platform folds up automatically, keeping the rear of the vehicle clean and the lift out of the way. No manual folding required.
Streamlined Profile · 74 lb Installed Weight
The AL160's slim profile keeps the rear of the vehicle looking clean — no bulky frame projecting further than necessary. At just 74 lbs installed it is one of the lightest fully powered scooter lifts available and adds minimal load to the vehicle. Compatible with minivans, SUVs, trucks, and vans. Class I hitch or greater required — the AL123 Class III hitch adapter and AL107 hitch post are included.
Fits Virtually All 3 & 4-Wheel Scooters · No Modifications
The adjustable platform cradle extends from 25" to 33" to accommodate virtually all 4-wheel scooters and 3-wheel scooters with a wheelbase between 30" and 42" — no modifications required to the scooter. Optional swing-away allows the lift to pivot aside for rear vehicle access without removing the scooter. Optional scooter cover provides weather protection during transit. Optional battery pack for power-independent operation.
