Description

The Harmar AL690 Side Door Hybrid Platform Lift is the only lift in the Harmar lineup that loads through the van's side door — a Harmar exclusive design that mounts to the 2nd-row seat hardware and lifts the power chair or short scooter inside the vehicle's seating area, rather than onto the rear hitch or into the rear cargo hold. The result is a set of advantages no other lift in the lineup can offer: the power chair is stored directly next to the driver or passenger door (significantly shortening the transfer distance for users with limited mobility), the rear cargo area and third-row seating remain completely free, and the vehicle's backup camera is fully unobstructed. No drilling required in most vehicles. Fully automatic with remote hand control. 275 lb capacity. Minivans and full-size vans only. No device modifications required. Made in the USA.

Before You Order — Minivans & Vans Only · Important Exclusions · Compatibility Must Be Confirmed The AL690 is compatible with most minivans and full-size vans only — it is not designed for SUVs or trucks. Vehicles with Stow-and-Go seating may require an adapter kit. The lift will not work in vehicles with custom moldings or foot rails on the door sill. The lift accommodates devices up to 275 lbs with a platform width range of 17"–28". The AL690 lifts unoccupied chairs only — the user must exit the device before loading. We confirm full 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.

Why Load Through the Side? Three Advantages No Rear Lift Can Match.

Power Chair Stored Next to the Door — Shorter Transfer Distance Every rear-loading lift stores the mobility device at the back of the vehicle. The AL690 stores it right next to the side door — adjacent to the driver's or passenger's door depending on your van's configuration. For users who have difficulty walking any distance after exiting their power chair, this shorter transfer path is a meaningful daily-use advantage. It eliminates the walk from the rear of the vehicle to the driver's seat that rear lifts require, making solo operation genuinely easier for many users.
Rear Cargo Area Free · Third-Row Seating Free · Backup Camera Clear Because the AL690 stores the device in the 2nd-row seating area, the entire rear of the vehicle — third-row seats and cargo hold — remains available for passengers, luggage, groceries, or medical equipment. The vehicle's backup camera is completely unobstructed, unlike rear hitch lifts which block the camera entirely. This combination of preserved interior space and full backup camera access makes the AL690 the most practical choice for users who regularly carry passengers or cargo alongside their mobility device.
No Drilling Required · Remote Control · Adjustable Platform Width The AL690 mounts to existing 2nd-row seat hardware in most vans — no drilling into the vehicle floor required for the majority of installations. Fully automatic operation via weatherproof remote hand control — wireless option available. The platform width adjusts from 17" to 28" to accommodate different chair and scooter widths. Manual straps secure the device on the platform. Optional wireless remote upgrade available. 3-year transferable warranty · Made in USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

The AL690 is called a hybrid because it combines aspects of both outside hitch lifts and inside hoist lifts. Like an outside lift, the user guides the device onto a platform. Like an inside lift, the device is stored inside the vehicle during transit. The platform enters through the side door rather than the rear, positioning the device in the 2nd-row seating area. This gives it the interior protection and backup camera advantages of an inside lift, with the drive-on platform loading convenience of an outside lift.
Stow-and-Go seating (found in Chrysler/Dodge minivans) may require an adapter kit for the AL690 to mount correctly. Call us before ordering so we can confirm whether your specific van requires the adapter. 866-218-0902.
The AL690 occupies the 2nd-row seating position where it mounts, but the third row and rear cargo area remain completely free. Whether passengers can ride in remaining seats depends on your van's specific configuration. Call us and we will discuss your van's layout. 866-218-0902.
No — the AL690 is designed for minivans and full-size vans only. It requires a side sliding door and 2nd-row seat hardware that SUVs and trucks do not have. For SUVs and trucks, see our exterior hitch-mount lift options. 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.
