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
