LIFE ESSENTIALS NEW LIFT

Life essentials announces a new running board lift that is all self contained in a 32" tube and mounts under the vehicle.  You can use your existing running boards and fasten them to the arms on the lift.  When it is up it just looks like running boards on a vehicle.  Push a button and the running board lowers to the ground and you can stand on it and ride it back up and easily get into your vehicle.

After the running board is raised fully, it looks just like the original running board that is standard on your vehicle.

We use the same device to make a Hitch mounted wheelchair transport platform.  It mounts in the hitch receiver on a vehicle and with the lift on you can still access your truck, hatchback, or lower your tail gate.  You don't have to swing it out, or remove it.

Questions and Answers

What is the price for wheelchairs?:

If the journeyman will assist you in continuing to work, help with may be available through the state’s vocational rehab, drs, or family services organizations. Also help may be available with the veterans administration.

We make the journeyman scooter which is small enough to use as a regular wheel chair but capable of going into rugged terrain, mud, water, snow, etc…. So it is a dual purpose chair. The price is approximately $12,500 with 2 group 24 batteries and charger. But as you will see it is worth it.

How long will it last?:

We have a very expensive battery charger with it so you can get 2-3 years out of your batteries.

The wheelchair will last as long as you want if it is taken care of. So far we have chairs out there that are 10 years old and they are still working. We haven’t yet had a motor failure on a wheel chair.

How much weight will they hold?:

We build them for 325 pound person. If you need more we can build it to hold more.

How much maintenance do they require?:

You just need to keep air in the tires and replace the tires when they are worn. (tires can be purchased at a local farm supply store). Check for worn wires and loose bolts.

How fast will it go?:

It will go about 5-8 mph depending on the programing. We can program it to go fast and have less torque or to go slow and have more torque. Depends on what you want to do with it.

What is the warranty?:

Most of our equipment has a one year manufacturers limited warranty. If the lift has been cared for and not abused we usually cover manufacturers parts for 2 years. Some of the purchased parts have a 2 year limited warranty on them.
