The AL100 Universal Scooter Lift – Effortless Mobility for Your Active Lifestyle

February 28, 2025

Be Safe Away From Home

For individuals who rely on mobility scooters, transportation can be a major challenge. Whether you’re running errands, visiting family, or heading on a road trip, having a secure and convenient way to transport your scooter is essential. The AL100 Universal Scooter Lift provides a hassle-free solution by allowing users to easily transport their scooters using a fully automatic, exterior lift system.

This durable, high-capacity lift is one of the most popular options on the market, offering simple operation, universal compatibility, and secure transportation without requiring any modifications to the scooter itself. Built with Harmar’s signature Stars-N-Stripes aluminum deck, the AL100 is a testament to American craftsmanship and innovation, designed with durability, efficiency, and ease of use in mind.

Let’s take a closer look at how this lift works, its standout features, and why it’s the ideal solution for those needing a reliable scooter transportation option.

How the AL100 Universal Scooter Lift Works

Designed to attach to the rear of a vehicle equipped with a Class II or greater hitch, the AL100 operates as a platform-style lift that secures and transports most standard mobility scooters. Here’s a step-by-step look at how it functions:

Lowering the Platform – With a fully automatic system, users can effortlessly lower the aluminum platform to ground level using the built-in controls.
Positioning the Scooter – Simply drive or guide the scooter onto the platform. The lift accommodates virtually all standard mobility scooters with a wheelbase of up to 42 inches.
Automatic Securing Mechanism – Unlike other scooter lifts that require tie-down straps or modifications, the AL100’s automatic hold-down foot secures the scooter in place, preventing unwanted movement during transportation.
Raising the Lift – Once the scooter is in position, the lift automatically raises the platform, locking it securely in place for transit.
Ready to Go – With the scooter safely loaded, you can drive to your destination knowing your mobility device is securely attached.

The AL100 also includes a license plate mount for compliance with state regulations and has an optional swing-away feature, allowing the lift to be moved aside when accessing the rear of the vehicle.

Key Features That Set the AL100 Apart

The AL100 Universal Scooter Lift is known for its high-quality construction, ease of use, and universal compatibility. Here’s what makes it a standout choice for scooter users:

Universal Compatibility – This lift is designed to accommodate nearly all mobility scooters, making it a versatile option for users with different models.
No Modifications Required – Unlike some lifts that require modifications to the scooter, the AL100 works with standard scooters right out of the box.
Fully Automatic Operation – The simple, automated system makes it easy for users to load, secure, and transport their scooter without excessive effort.
High Weight Capacity – With a lifting capacity of 350 lbs, this lift is strong enough to handle most scooters while maintaining stability during travel.
Durable, Lightweight Construction – The Stars-N-Stripes aluminum deck not only adds a patriotic touch, but also ensures lightweight durability that resists corrosion and wear.
Compact & Adjustable Design – The 27.5” x 39” aluminum deck can extend up to 46 inches, offering flexibility for different scooter sizes while maintaining a streamlined appearance on the vehicle.

Installation & Compatibility Considerations

The AL100 Universal Scooter Lift is designed for hitch-mounted installation, requiring a Class II or greater hitch to provide the necessary support. The hitch height can range from 5 to 18 inches, making it adaptable to various vehicle types, including SUVs, vans, and trucks.

One important note for buyers: the advertised price of the AL100 does not include installation costs. It is recommended to consult a professional for proper installation, ensuring the lift is securely attached and operates safely.

Switching from a Manual Wheelchair to a Power Chair: What to Consider Before You Make the Change

March 27, 2025

Consider Your Options Carefully For many individuals who rely on manual wheelchairs, the idea of transitioning to a power chair can be both exciting and overwhelming. While manual chairs offer independence and mobility, they also require a significant amount of upper body strength, stamina, and coordination. Over time—or as medical conditions evolve—a manual wheelchair may no longer be the most suitable or sustainable option. At Monroe Medical Supplies, we often hear from customers who are exploring the possibility of moving to a power wheelchair but aren’t sure whether it’s the right decision. If you’re in a similar position, here are some important factors to consider as you weigh your options.

Nebulizers vs Inhalers: Which Is Best for Respiratory Treatment?

March 20, 2025

Make the Right Choice For individuals managing chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or COPD , the choice between a nebulizer and an inhaler can significantly impact treatment effectiveness and ease of use. Both devices deliver medication directly to the lungs, but they function in different ways. Understanding their differences—and determining which one best fits your health needs—can make breathing easier and treatment more effective. At Monroe Medical Supplies, we provide high-quality respiratory solutions, including the Voyage-II Compressor Nebulizer , a durable and effective option for those requiring aerosol medication therapy. What’s the Difference Between a Nebulizer and an Inhaler? Both nebulizers and inhalers are commonly prescribed for lung conditions, but their design and application vary: Nebulizers convert liquid medication into a fine mist, allowing the patient to breathe in the medication naturally through a mouthpiece or mask. They are often recommended for individuals with severe respiratory conditions, young children, or elderly patients who may struggle with using an inhaler properly. Inhalers, or metered-dose inhalers ( MDIs ), deliver a quick burst of medication through a handheld device. While inhalers are portable and convenient, they require proper technique, including precise timing and coordination to ensure medication reaches the lungs effectively.
