Wheelchair Lifting

I would like to have training that includes: lift operations, safety checklist of lift and proper wheelchair securment in vehicle.

the manufacturer of the lift should offer documentation for it.

they may even offer instructer led courses where you could get training on a lift in person

Help. The snow is too high to get out. Help. Will you buy me a van with a wheelchair lift? Oh, will you pay for the insurance too? Oh, will you also pay for the upkeep of it? Never mind. I just had to ask I am going nuts with this hard Michigan weather. Boo hoo.

Aw dear,i'm sure if we all pitch in we could get you one.

I need to find out more information on purchasing a wheelchair lift for my minivan. I have a handicapped 5 year old daughter and I know nothing about wheelchair lifts, the cost etc. I need something that I can use a long time (as she grows, the wheelchair will also). Please give me a good local (Portland OR) resource, information, or just your experience/knowledge on the subject.

Specifics...

#1 What are the different types?
#2 Where (Portland, OR) can I get one within a week?
#3 What is the range in cost?

Hello, in my experience the lift depends on the make/model of the minivan and the model of the wheelchair. There are an assortment of lifts out there as you might have noticed and most places have them in stock and ready to ship. For a lift that will be able to accommodate a growing child you're probably looking at around $1000+ installation. I pulled the pricing information from: http://www.discountramps.com/wheelchair_ lift_page.htm . On a side note those lifts (the Harmar) come with 3 year manufacturer warranty which is longer than most. Also, here is a little more helpful information about those lifts: http://www.discountramps.com/articles/re quirements-harmar-lifts.htm . I hope this helps you on your mission to find the best wheelchair lift for your daughter. :)

Assists people with limited lower extremity strength lift the leg and foot.
Made of 1" wide, high strength, black nylon webbing.
36" long.

We have a Rascal power wheelchair. We need to know what type(s) of vehicles we can put a power lift into. My mother, age 80, will be driving so would like as small a vehicle as possible.

I don't know where you live...but put in your search engine "carlift" and check the list.
Something will be in your area. and you can get more proper advice from experts.:)
