Which Carrier will best suit my needs?
|
There are many factors that should be taken into consideration when purchasing
a wheelchair or scooter carrier. These factors include the type of wheelchair or scooter you have,
the weight of your wheelchair or scooter, and the type & class of hitch available for your
vehicle.
Carriers are also ideal for vehicles that lack the necessary cargo space for transporting mobility products.
Please view our Compatibility Guide for further assistance in
choosing a wheelchair or scooter carrier.

What size hitch do I need? What size hitch is available for my vehicle?
|
You will first need to verify what hitch sizes are available for your vehicle.
Hitchfinder.com
allows you to search by the Make and Model of your vehicle so that you can
easily find the correct hitch.
This site features Drawtite and Reese brand hitches which can be purchased
online at their website. They can also be purchased from any Drawtite or Reese
Brand Dealer such as Uhaul.
Please note that each class of hitch has a different load limit
and that our wheelchair and scooter carriers require different
size hitches.
Please also note that you must NEVER exceed the tongue weight capacity for your hitch.
To calculate tongue weight:
The weight
of the wheelchair or scooter carrier
+
The Load
(the wheelchair or scooter, and any accessories such as the
swing-away option, sliding ramp, etc)
=
tongue weight
