Smart Lifter LP: Heavy-Duty Power Wheelchair & Mobility Scooter Hoist for Vehicles

Mobility Innovations VA Contract

The Smart Lifter LP is the most powerful hoist in the Smart Lifter range, designed for lifting large mobility scooters, power wheelchairs, and heavier mobility devices into the trunk of your vehicle.

With lifting capacities of up to 440 lbs, the LP provides a dependable solution for users who need to transport larger powerchairs or full-size scooters that cannot be safely lifted manually.

Installed directly inside the vehicle trunk, the Smart Lifter LP uses a powered lifting arm to raise and stow your mobility device at the push of a button, helping maintain independence while eliminating the physical strain of loading heavy equipment.

The LP range is best suited for larger vehicles such as SUVs, station wagons, minivans, and full-size vans, where additional space and lifting capacity are required.

Compatibility Advice

Selecting the right mobility hoist depends on both the measurements and weight of your mobility device as well as the size of your vehicle.

The Smart Lifter LP is typically recommended for:

  • Large or heavy-duty mobility scooters
  • Tall or heavy-duty power wheelchairs (powerchairs)

Thanks to vehicle-specific mounting kits, the LP range can be installed in hundreds of vehicles while preserving valuable cargo space and access to storage areas such as spare tire compartments.

Advantages of the LP Range

The Smart Lifter LP is engineered for maximum lifting power while maintaining smooth, controlled operation.

Heavy-duty lifting capacity

With available lifting capacities of 275 lbs and up to 440 lbs, the LP is capable of lifting some of the largest scooters and powerchairs on the market.

Ideal for larger vehicles

The LP range is best suited for vehicles with larger cargo areas such as SUVs, station wagons, minivans, and full-size vans, where heavier mobility devices are typically transported.

Fully powered lifting and stowage

Integrated motors provide powered up/down and in/out movement, allowing you to load and store your mobility device with minimal effort.

Protect your mobility device during travel

Because the hoist stores your scooter or wheelchair inside the vehicle, it remains protected from weather, road debris, and theft while travelling.

Vehicle-specific fitting kits

Each installation uses vehicle-specific mounting kits designed to maximise available cargo space and maintain access to storage compartments wherever possible.

Removable hoist arm

The lifting arm can be detached from the mounting frame when not required, allowing the trunk to be used for normal cargo when needed.

Integrated restraint system

An additional restraint keeps your scooter or wheelchair secure during transport, helping stabilise the mobility device during sudden stops.


Smart Lifter Power Pack Compatibility

The Smart Lifter LP can also be used with the Smart Lifter Power Pack, which powers the hoist independently of the vehicle battery.

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.
