Skip the strain of lifting your mobility device into the vehicle. The WheelChair Carrier Model 117 Mini Electric Lift is a hitch-mounted powered lift for a compatible lightweight scooter, power chair, or folding wheelchair. Lower the platform to the ground, load the device, and raise it behind the vehicle while the interior cargo area remains available.
The Model 117 carries up to 150 lb on its 22-inch-wide x 37-inch-long usable platform. Two retractable ratchets are included for securement, and the unloaded platform folds upright behind the vehicle.
The reason to choose the Model 117 is its focused size and capacity. When a lightweight mobility device fits its limits, this lift provides powered ground-level loading without using the vehicle's interior cargo space.
The Model 117 is for mobility-device users and caregivers who want powered loading for compatible lightweight equipment. Product fit depends on more than receiver size: device dimensions, total tongue weight, hitch-adapter height, and space behind the vehicle must all be checked.
The mobility device must stay within the Model 117's weight and platform limits, and the complete loaded weight must remain within the vehicle and hitch ratings.
The optional Model 130 Swing Away cannot be opened while the mobility device is loaded. Receiver height and ground clearance also vary by installation, so the manufacturer's stated 24 inches of possible clearance is not guaranteed on every vehicle.
The lift uses a key switch and motor toggle switch. Follow the loading sequence in the owner's manual, park on a flat, level surface, and keep people and objects clear of the platform while it is moving.
The included 21-foot wire harness contains two 10-gauge wires and a 30 amp automatic resettable circuit breaker. It connects directly to the vehicle battery and must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. A manual hand crank provides a backup if electrical power is unavailable, but it must be removed before the motor switch is used.
The Model 117 package includes the following standard equipment:
Not included: The vehicle's hitch receiver and optional accessories are separate. Confirm the required hitch configuration before ordering.
Compatibility note: Confirm vehicle and Model 117 compatibility before ordering.
Use these measurements to compare the lift with your mobility device, hitch, and available space behind the vehicle.

Check the device's transport weight and measure its footprint at the widest and longest points. After the rider and all loose items are removed, the device must weigh no more than 150 lb and fit fully within the 22 x 37-inch usable platform.
No. The receiver size must match, but its tongue weight rating also matters. Confirm that the hitch and vehicle can support the 88 lb carrier plus the mobility device and any accessories. The optional Model 130 Swing Away adds another 35 lb.
No. The vehicle must already have, or be fitted with, a properly rated Class II 1-1/4-inch or Class III 2-inch square hitch receiver.
No. Remove the mobility device before opening the optional Model 130 Swing Away.
The unloaded platform folds upright. The lift extends approximately 10.5 to 13.5 inches from the hitch in its stowaway position, or approximately 15 to 18 inches with the optional Model 130 Swing Away. Actual vehicle clearance still depends on the installation.
Yes. The lift mounts to the hitch and connects to the vehicle's electrical system. Review the owner's manual and confirm the installation requirements for your vehicle before ordering.
