Frequently Asked Questions


How does it work?

The WheelsUp Wheelchair Lift is mounted on the rear bumper and trunk lid or hatch of your vehicle. A simple, hand cranked lift bar lifts and lowers your wheelchair with a minimum of effort. While in transit, the wheelchair is secured with additional retaining straps.
