Nice job Ian, looked a bit of a pain. Good engineering but how much space needed, surely a hoist is the better option and easier to install. Great video guys , be lucky.
Hey Clive, good question, I'm doing a video highlighting the difference between each lift. Most hoist/crane style lift won't fit if the vehicle has any kind of false floor (folding third row in this case) and tend to be more invasive to the vehicle with drilling involved. Price for a hoist lift and installation tends to be more and can involve the operator to manually push the scooter/powerchair in and out of the vehicle. I need a rest after doing that one lol.
@@lasvegasscooterslifts Having never installed or used a hoist and not taking into account the false floor I will take your word for this. Keen to see that video.
Great job Ian!! I've never installed one of those. Don't think I will either...lol. I've done probably 25-30 outside lifts in my 13 years working with the equipment here in Florida. I put hitches on too when needed.
About how high are the scooter wheels from the floor. I think it is called dead space. I am trying to figure out clearances in a pilot. Looks about 4 inches. I only have 31 inches to play with in the pilot.
Hey Tom, I don't think the Honda Pilot it compatible with this lift. You can always check what you can get for your vehicle by using the Harmar compatibility calculator www.harmar.com/calculator/ Put in your vehicle year, make and model and then your scooter or powerchair make and model and it will give you a list of compatible lifts for you set up.
@@lasvegasscooterslifts Thanks. My dealer was told by Harmar that there were special brackets to install in Pilot. But no one knows about the brackets or how to get them. Drilling required. My concern is that the 6000 requires a maximum dead space of 5.5 inches. But due to the shape of the plate the working dead space might be less. The Pilot has a 31 inch opening so minus 5.5 leaves 25.5 to play with for the unit that is loaded. Thanks for responding. We are probably going with the AL300.
Great job Ian that certainly looked like murder to do and very nice it looks.👍👏
Hey John, yeah not and easy job but well worth it for the customer in the end.

Thank Richard, the internal ones can be tricky but once you've done a couple of them you soon get in to a routine.
