Smart Lifter LM: Compact Mobility Scooter & Wheelchair Hoist for Smaller Vehicles

The Smart Lifter LM is a compact mobility scooter and wheelchair hoist designed specifically for smaller and lightweight mobility devices.

Ideal for hatchbacks, some sedans, and other compact vehicles, the LM enables users to lift and store a mobility scooter or wheelchair in the trunk at the touch of a button, removing the need for manual lifting or vehicle ramps.

With a lifting capacity of up to 175 lbs, the Smart Lifter LM provides a practical solution for users who want to transport their portable scooter or lightweight wheelchair without sacrificing valuable trunk space.

Thanks to its unique folding arm design, the LM is one of the few vehicle hoists capable of fitting comfortably inside smaller cars and hatchbacks, making it a popular choice for drivers who need a lightweight and space-efficient mobility lift.

Compatibility Advice

Advantages of the LM Range

The Smart Lifter LM is designed to provide maximum independence with minimal vehicle modification.

Compact design for smaller vehicles

The folding lifting arm allows the hoist to operate efficiently inside tight trunk spaces, making it ideal for hatchbacks and compact cars.

Lifts lightweight scooters and wheelchairs

With lifting capacities of 88 lbs or 175 lbs, the LM is perfect for portable scooters and lightweight wheelchairs that are commonly used for travel and daily outings.

Vehicle-specific fitting kits

Custom vehicle fitting kits ensure the hoist is installed in a way that preserves cargo space, floor compartments, and spare tire access wherever possible.

Fully powered operation

The LM includes powered up/down and in/out movement, allowing you to load your mobility device into the trunk with minimal effort.

Interior protection for your mobility device

Because the hoist is installed inside the vehicle, your wheelchair or scooter remains protected from rain, weather, and road debris during travel.

Removable design

The hoist can easily be removed from its frame when not needed, freeing up additional trunk space when required.

Enhanced safety features

Each Smart Lifter includes a restraint system to secure your scooter or wheelchair during transport, helping keep it stable during sudden stops


Smart Lifter Power Pack Compatibility!

The Smart Lifter LM can also be paired with the Smart Lifter Power Pack, which independently powers the hoist without wiring directly into the vehicle’s electrical system.

This solution is particularly beneficial for:

  • Electric vehicles (EVs)
  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Drivers who prefer a standalone power supply 

The Power Pack also allows for faster loading and unloading compared to using the vehicle battery alone.


Upgraded control box and handset

  • Backlit – The handset keypad is backlit which makes it easier and safer to use in the dark
  • Soft touch – The new handset is designed in a soft touch material for increased comfort and ease of use
  • Service indicator – This new feature allows you to identify when a service is needed on your hoist
  • Soft start – This extra safety feature means that lifting the scooter or wheelchair from the ground is more gentle
  • Overload protection – This added safety feature ensures that the motor won’t burn out
