Alum Hitch Wheelchair Carrier

Take the wheelchair along without wrestling it into the trunk, using this aluminum hitch-mounted wheelchair carrier. A hitch carrier is the practical answer to a problem a lot of families run into: a wheelchair or mobility scooter that technically fits in the cargo area, but only after folding seats down, giving up the groceries and lifting far more weight than anyone should be lifting into a tailgate.

This carrier is built from aluminum rather than steel, which matters more than it sounds — aluminum keeps the platform light enough to handle and remove on your own, and it will not rust through after a few Iowa winters of road salt the way a painted steel rack eventually does. It slides into a standard trailer hitch receiver on the back of an SUV, van, crossover or truck, putting the chair outside the vehicle entirely so your interior seating and cargo space stay free. That makes day trips, medical appointments, family visits and vacations dramatically simpler for anyone traveling with a mobility device.

Key features:

• Aluminum hitch-mounted carrier platform for a wheelchair or mobility scooter
• Aluminum construction stays light and resists road-salt corrosion
• Mounts in a standard rear trailer hitch receiver
• Keeps the chair outside the vehicle, freeing seats and cargo space
• Removes the need to lift a chair into a trunk or tailgate
• Works with SUVs, vans, crossovers and pickups fitted with a hitch

Mobility equipment is expensive, and a carrier like this makes getting out of the house a great deal easier. Come see it at our Urbandale ReStore; it is sold for in-store pickup and we are not set up to ship. Every purchase helps build homes for families right here in our community.
