Scooter Lift Cost (2024)
Calculating the cost of a scooter or wheelchair lift is dependent on a variety of factors such as the specific lift model type, the lift capacity, the desired or required options, the complexity of installation and more.

The vehicle year, make and model – combined with the mobility device make and model – determine which scooter or wheelchair lift models are viable choices.
In general, there are interior and exterior scooter and wheelchair lift models in crane or platform styles.
Platform style lifts include Bruno’s Out-Sider, Joey and Chariot. Bruno’s Curb-Sider and Out-Rider are crane (hoist) lifts.
The cost of a scooter lift model is determined by factors such the intricacy of lift movement and lift capacity of the motor.
Bruno offers a diverse range of scooter and powerchair lifts, with lifting capacities ranging from 100 lbs to 450 lbs.
Since a more robust motor is needed for heavy-duty lifting, higher-capacity models will generally cost more than those designed for lighter loads.
Optional features can enhance the functionality of a scooter lift or give added peace of mind, but they also increase cost. For instance, all Bruno scooter and wheelchair lifts include standard equipment to secure mobility devices. However, some users opt for an additional method of securement for extra peace of mind.
Also, a favorite add-on for the Out-Sider lift is the "Swing-Away," which lets the lift pivot aside, providing convenient access to the cargo area.
The installation cost of Bruno scooter and powerchair lifts varies based on complexity.
For example, the Out-Sider and Chariot lifts typically require 1-2 hours to install, while the Joey or Curb-Sider may take 3-4 hours.
Your local Bruno dealer can assess your vehicle and mobility device, recommend the ideal lift, and provide a free quote for the installed lift.
Choosing the right lift solution depends more on your vehicle and mobility device compatibility than on cost.
For instance, your vehicle’s “tongue weight rating” often determines whether a specific scooter lift is suitable.
While a vehicle might have a 2,000-lb towing capacity, its tongue weight rating—typically 10% of towing capacity—would be just 200 lbs.
Towing capacity refers to pulling weight behind the vehicle, whereas tongue weight measures the downward force placed on the hitch.
