AL500 Universal Powerchair Lift by Harmar
The AL500 Powerchair Lift is a reliable hitch-mounted carrier with a 350 lb capacity and a space-saving fold-up design, ensuring effortless transport of your power wheelchair.


Do you need more power to transport your mobility device? The AL500 is designed to carry virtually all powerchairs without any modifications to your chair during travel.
The Harmar AL500 stands out as a vehicle lift specifically engineered for power wheelchairs. Its consistent popularity stems from its practical design, premium features, and long-lasting build quality.
A key advantage of the AL500 is its broad compatibility, accommodating numerous vehicle types and various power wheelchair models and dimensions. Notably, using the AL500 requires no alterations to your power wheelchair. This lift is also designed to function seamlessly with both Class II and Class III hitch receivers.
For securement, the AL500 incorporates four self-tensioning, rapid-release retracting straps equipped with hooks, ensuring your power wheelchair remains firmly in place.


The exceptional adaptability of the Harmar AL500 to various power wheelchair sizes and designs distinguishes it in the market. It capably handles everything from compact travel power wheelchairs to full-sized models and even smaller heavy-duty units. Its flat, full-size platform ensures compatibility with mid-wheel, front-wheel, and rear-wheel drive power wheelchairs.
Operation is simplified with a single switch, and a manual crank is included as a reliable backup. We appreciate the AL500's versatility and its ability to securely fasten your power wheelchair for straightforward transportation. The expansive aluminum platform conveniently folds against the vehicle's rear when not in use, facilitating easy garage parking.
In its unloaded and folded state, the lift extends only 12 inches from the bumper. The optional Swing-Away feature enhances accessibility to the vehicle's trunk or liftgate for any vehicle equipped with a Class III hitch, adding a mere 2 inches to the folded lift's depth.
Some states may mandate the display of your license plate on the exterior of your lift. It is your responsibility to verify your state's requirements. If plate display is needed, we suggest adding the AL 901 XL to your purchase.
