Knowing The Different Wheelchair Lifts

Typically you will encounter a vehicle wheelchair lift that is permanently mounted to the vehicle and will accommodate the wheelchair as well as the person using the wheelchair. These lifts are typically mounted on the side of the vehicle or in the back of the vehicle. Larger vans and other large vehicles often will have these wheelchair lifts mounted on the inside of the vehicle as they have the space to do so. Other wheelchair lifts will be mounted on the outside of a vehicle like a small passenger van due to space concerns on the inside.

There is also a crane or hoist wheelchair lift, however these are meant to be used when the wheelchair is empty. These operate much like a construction crane which lifts the empty wheelchair into a truck or other vehicle. These wheelchair lifts are mounted to the vehicle and lift the wheelchair into and out of the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle typically also has hand controls to drive.
