Advantages of the LC Range

The Smart Lifter LC is designed to offer greater lifting power than compact hoists like the LM or SureLift 88, while maintaining a space-efficient design.

Higher lifting capacity for everyday mobility devices

With lifting capacities of 175 lbs and 220 lbs, the LC comfortably handles many standard mobility scooters, wheelchairs and some powerchairs used for everyday travel.

Compatible with a wide range of vehicles

The LC range can be installed in hatchbacks, SUVs, station wagons, minivans, and larger vehicles, making it one of the most adaptable wheelchair hoists available.

Powered loading for effortless operation

The hoist features powered up/down and in/out movement, allowing you to load your scooter or wheelchair into the trunk with minimal effort.

Protect your mobility device during travel

Because the hoist loads your scooter or wheelchair inside the vehicle, it remains protected from rain, dirt, and road debris while travelling.

Vehicle-specific fitting kits

Each Smart Lifter LC installation uses a vehicle-specific fitting kit, helping to preserve cargo space while maintaining access to important areas such as the spare tire compartment.

Removable hoist for flexible cargo space

The lifting arm can be removed from the mounting frame when not required, allowing you to reclaim valuable trunk space.

Integrated safety restraint

Every Smart Lifter LC includes a restraint system to secure your mobility device during transport, helping keep it stable in the event of sudden stops.


Now available with the Smart Lifter Power Pack!

The Smart Lifter LC can also be used with the Smart Lifter Power Pack, which provides an independent power source for the hoist.

This is especially useful for:

  • Electric vehicles (EVs)
  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Drivers who prefer not to connect directly to their vehicle battery

The Power Pack also enables faster loading and unloading compared with using the vehicle battery alone, helping streamline everyday use.
