Under-Vehicle Wheelchair Lifts
Transferring and transporting a wheelchair with a vehicle can be challenging. Under-vehicle wheelchair lifts (UVLs) provide a practical solution by helping wheelchair users board and exit accessible vehicles more safely and conveniently.
An under-vehicle wheelchair lift is installed beneath the vehicle and uses a slip-resistant platform to support wheelchair transfers. Depending on the model, hydraulic operation and handheld controls can make deployment and operation more convenient.

Why Choose an Under-Vehicle Lift?
Under-vehicle wheelchair lifts are designed to provide accessibility while preserving valuable interior space. Key advantages include:
- Preserves interior space: The lift is stored beneath the vehicle, leaving the passenger compartment available for passengers and mobility equipment.
- External storage: When not in use, the lift remains outside the passenger cabin.
- Supports vehicle accessibility: UVLs can be used as part of a vehicle accessibility setup for wheelchair users.
- Convenient deployment: The platform can be deployed when needed to assist with wheelchair transfers.
Benefits of Under-Vehicle Wheelchair Lifts
Under-vehicle wheelchair lifts offer several practical benefits for accessible vehicle use:
- More interior space: Because the lift is mounted beneath the vehicle, it helps preserve cabin space for comfortable travel.
- Easy access when needed: The platform remains stored outside the cabin and can be deployed for boarding and exiting.
- Simple operation: Depending on the model, hydraulic systems and handheld controls can make the lift straightforward to operate.
- Manual backup: Some models include an emergency manual backup pump for situations when powered operation is unavailable.
- Vehicle compatibility: UVLs are available in configurations designed for different wheelchair-accessible vehicles, depending on the vehicle and lift model.
- Safety-focused design: Many UVLs feature slip-resistant platforms and construction designed to meet applicable safety and performance specifications.
