Description
Harmar AL580XL Profile Power Wheelchair Vehicle Lift | MDS

The Harmar AL580XL Profile Power Wheelchair Vehicle Lift is Harmar's dedicated outside hitch-mounted lift for full-size power wheelchairs — including mid-wheel drive power chairs with 14-inch drive wheels that standard platform lifts cannot properly accommodate. The AL580XL's "Profile" arm geometry is specifically engineered to clear the drive wheel and frame geometry of today's full-size and mid-wheel drive power chairs, providing a clean, secure lift without the clearance problems that occur when you put a power chair on a scooter-designed platform. At just 63 lbs installed, it is the lightest Class III outside power chair lift Harmar makes. The 5"–24" hitch height range — the widest in the Harmar outside lift lineup — accommodates taller vehicle hitches including trucks and larger SUVs. Padded hold-down arm standard. Auto-folds when the chair is unloaded. Fully powered lifting and folding. Hardwired or battery pack — choose at time of order. HSA/FSA eligible. Made in the USA. 3-year transferable warranty.

Before You Order — Power Chair Lift Specific · Compatibility Must Be Confirmed The AL580XL is designed for full-size power wheelchairs — including mid-wheel drive chairs with 14" drive wheels. It is not designed for scooters (see the AL100HD for scooters). A Class III receiver hitch is required. Hitch height range 5"–24". A hitch adapter will be needed for non-standard hitch heights and drops — call us with your vehicle and power chair details and we will confirm the right configuration before you order. We review every vehicle lift order for compatibility before it ships. 866-218-0902 · Mon–Fri 9AM–5PM · Sat 9AM–3PM.

Designed for Power Chairs. 63 lbs. 24" Hitch Height. Drive On. Arm Locks. Done.

Profile Arm · Mid-Wheel Drive · 14" Drive Wheels · 63 lb Installed The AL580XL's "Profile" designation is not a marketing name — it refers to the specific arm geometry Harmar engineered to accommodate full-size power wheelchairs, particularly mid-wheel drive chairs with 14-inch drive wheels. Standard platform lifts designed for scooters can conflict with the front and rear casters, drive wheel clearances, and anti-tip wheel geometry of mid-wheel drive power chairs. The AL580XL's profile arm is shaped to clear these features cleanly. At 63 lbs installed, it is the lightest Class III outside power chair lift in Harmar's lineup.
5"–24" Hitch Height · Class III · Wider Range Than Most Lifts The AL580XL accommodates hitch heights from 5 to 24 inches — a significantly wider range than the AL100HD (5"–18") and most competing outside lifts. This matters for taller vehicles: full-size pickup trucks, larger SUVs, and high-clearance vehicles routinely have hitches above 18 inches. The AL580XL's 24-inch maximum hitch height means it works with vehicles that other outside lifts cannot properly reach. Hitch adapters are available for various drop configurations. Call us with your hitch height before ordering: 866-218-0902.
Padded Hold-Down Arm Standard · Auto-Folds · Hardwired or Battery · HSA/FSA The padded hold-down arm is included as standard — not an upgrade. When the power chair drives onto the platform, the arm lowers and locks over the chair, securing it for transport without requiring the user to strap down the device manually. When the chair is removed, the platform folds automatically. Power source is the buyer's choice at order: hardwired to vehicle battery (most reliable for daily use) or battery pack (for vehicles where hardwiring is less practical). HSA and FSA payment accepted.

"Profile" — What It Means for Mid-Wheel Drive Power Chairs

Most outside vehicle lifts are designed around scooter geometry: a relatively flat, long wheelbase device with no significant protrusions above the deck level. Full-size power wheelchairs — particularly mid-wheel drive chairs — have a fundamentally different profile: large 14-inch drive wheels at the mid-point, front and rear anti-tip casters, joystick mounts, seat post geometry, and in many cases controller boxes and seating hardware that project above and behind the chair's base frame.

When a mid-wheel drive power chair is placed on a scooter-designed platform, the arm geometry can conflict with the chair's rear casters, anti-tip wheels, or frame. The chair may not sit flat. The hold-down arm may not reach the correct point. The lift may not clear the chair's overall height when raised.

The AL580XL's Profile arm is shaped specifically to address these issues. The arm geometry and platform dimensions (17.5"×27") match the footprint and height profile of full-size power chairs. The padded hold-down arm is positioned and sized for power chair frames, not scooter bodies. For a mid-wheel drive power chair user, this is the difference between a lift that works cleanly every time and one that requires workarounds.

Hardwired or Battery Pack — Choosing Your Power Source

Unlike the AL100HD, where hardwired is standard and battery is an add-on, the AL580XL lets the buyer choose either power source at time of order. Both power the lift identically:

  • Hardwired to vehicle battery — the most reliable option for daily use. Direct connection to the vehicle battery means the lift is always powered without charging between sessions. Requires running a wire from the battery to the lift — straightforward for professional installation. Recommended for users who load and unload the power chair daily.
  • Battery pack — a self-contained rechargeable battery that powers the lift without connecting to the vehicle. Ideal for vehicles where hardwiring access is difficult, for users who prefer not to modify the vehicle's electrical system, or for situations where the lift is used across multiple vehicles. The battery pack requires charging between use periods — charge overnight with the included charger for daily readiness.

Both options are available at time of order. Call us if you are unsure which is right for your situation: 866-218-0902.

Frequently Asked Questions

Power wheelchairs — specifically full-size power wheelchairs including mid-wheel drive chairs with 14-inch drive wheels. The Profile arm geometry is engineered for power chair frames and dimensions, not scooter bodies. For scooters, the AL100HD is the appropriate outside lift. If you have a power chair, the AL580XL is the right choice. Call us to confirm your specific chair is compatible: 866-218-0902.
The AL580XL handles hitch heights from 5 to 24 inches — the widest range in the Harmar outside lift lineup. Most pickup trucks with factory hitches fall within this range. If your hitch is at the upper end (18"–24"), confirm the exact hitch height and call us — we will verify fit and identify any adapter needed for your specific truck: 866-218-0902.
When the power chair is driven onto the platform, the padded hold-down arm lowers and locks over the chair's frame or push handles, securing it for transport without manual strapping. The padding protects the chair's finish. When the chair is driven off, the arm releases and the platform folds automatically. This is included as standard on the AL580XL — not an upgrade option. It makes the load-and-go process significantly faster and easier than strap-based securement systems.
The AL580XL's 17.5" platform length is measured for the wheel contact footprint — the area where the chair's front and rear wheels sit on the platform surface. The chair's body and footrests extend beyond the platform edges, which is intentional in the Profile lift design. The hold-down arm secures the chair body above the platform. The 27" platform width accommodates most full-size power chair wheelbases. Call us with your chair's overall dimensions and wheelbase if you have fit concerns: 866-218-0902.
Yes — as an outside lift, the loaded power chair behind the vehicle obstructs the rear backup camera. This is standard for all outside hitch lifts. If backup camera visibility is important, ask us about Harmar's backup camera system options that can be added at time of order: 866-218-0902.
The Harmar warranty covers products that have been "installed, maintained and operated properly." Self-installation that results in improper installation could affect warranty claims. Professional installation is strongly recommended — particularly for the hardwired power connection. We provide local professional installation at all six Southwest Florida locations and coordinate installation nationwide: 866-218-0902.
