Wheelchair Racks & Carriers Guide

Racks and Carriers for Electric Scooters And Wheelchairs

This section of our guide is focused on wheelchair and electric scooter racks, and electric wheelchair and power scooter platform lifts that mount into the rear towing hitch on your vehicle. All different types of vehicles are rated for different hitch sizes, depending on the weight capacity of the vehicle and the size of the opening for the hitch. When you're figuring the weight your hitch will need to handle, you have to include the weight of the hitch lift as well as the electric scooter or wheelchair it will be lifting.

Here are the specifications:

• Class I - 1 ¼" x 1 ¼" opening with a shallower depth than other classes, so the weight capacity is the lowest at 200 lbs.
• Class II - 1 ¼" x 1 ¼" full-depth opening, with a weight capacity of 300 lbs.
• Class III - 2" x 2" full-depth opening, with a 500 lb. weight capacity.
• You can find adapters to make the hitch opening smaller, if you choose.
