THE QUICK TAKE

What this listing brings

PRODUCT SELECTION
Smart Lifter LM 40 kg and 80 kg configurations with vehicle-specific fitting kits.
GOOD FOR
Vehicle transport, Mobility, Compact vehicles
OWNERSHIP SUPPORT
Mobility Innovations compatibility advice, accredited installation and dealer technical support in North America.
FIT & CONFIGURATION
Two lifting classes are published: 88 lb and 175 lb. Suitability depends on the exact vehicle, mobility device, attachment points and operator reach.

Buyer highlights

  • Inside transport. The device rides inside the vehicle, sheltered from road spray and weather.
  • Powered movement. Up/down and in/out movement reduce manual lifting, though the user still guides and secures the device.
  • Small-car focus. The folding arm targets hatchbacks and other compact cargo spaces.
  • Two capacities. Choose between 88 and 175 lb configurations only after weighing the complete device with attached batteries and accessories.
  • Vehicle-specific fit. A fitting kit is selected for the vehicle, preserving cargo features where the installation allows.
  • Optional power pack. A separate power pack can avoid direct wiring to some hybrid or electric vehicles when approved for the installation.

Warranty & returns

Manufacturer and North American distributor information; installation and purchase terms depend on the selected provider. Checked October 5, 2026.

  • Warranty. The manufacturer manual states that the warranty period is detailed in the purchase contract. Obtain the full parts, labor, travel and transferability terms in writing before installation. Read manufacturer details
  • Returns. Vehicle-specific equipment and installation may limit returns. Ask the provider about cancellation, custom fitting kits, removal costs and vehicle restoration before paying a deposit.
  • Service planning. The manual recommends annual service by Autochair or an accredited dealer. Identify the nearest qualified technician and expected travel charges.

This is professionally installed equipment.
