Seventh up on our list of wheelchair carriers is the CURT 18112 Carrier. This model is a Hitch-Mounted Wheelchair Carrier ideal for transporting your wheelchair in your vehicle. It’s made from lightweight aluminum, which reduces the overall weight of the carrier. The ramp can be folded in half vertically, making it easy to store when not in use.
We chose this carrier because it has enhanced safety features that make it easy to keep your wheelchair secure during transport. For instance, it has a threaded anti-rattle shank that keeps your hitch safe from damage due to vibration or rough roads. Its built-in reflectors ensure that everyone can see where you’re going—even at night! It’s compatible with Class 3, Class 4, and Class 5 hitches, so it’ll work on most cars and trucks. Its eight-bolt assembly makes it easy for anyone to install this product onto their vehicle without prior experience or knowledge of mechanics or engineering skills.
Compared to the ECOTRIC Carrier for Electric Wheelchairs, this model competes pretty. It has got everything you would need in a carrier—and even more. Both models can be folded three times, hold 500 pounds, and are durable. However, we only recommend using light equipment with this model as it is not solid enough.
