The Harmar AL500 Platform Power Wheelchair Lift is the world's most popular outside platform lift for power chairs — a purpose-built, power-chair-specific exterior hitch-mount lift that has earned that distinction through a combination of broad compatibility, lightweight construction, and a remarkably compact folded profile. At just 75 lbs installed and folding to only 12" behind the bumper when empty, the AL500 is significantly lighter and more garage-friendly than most exterior platform lifts in its class. The 26" × 39" Stars-N-Stripes aluminum deck carries virtually all power chairs up to 350 lbs using four self-tensioning Q'Straint retractors — no chair modifications required. Class II hitch or greater. Minivans, SUVs, trucks, and vans. Made in the USA.

Before You Order — Compatibility Must Be Confirmed
The AL500 is designed for power chairs only — it is not designed for scooters. Confirm your power chair weighs 350 lbs or less before ordering. A Class II hitch or greater is required; hitch height must fall within the supported range. For power chairs over 350 lbs see the AL500HD (400 lb). We confirm compatibility on every order before it ships — no exceptions. Use the Harmar Compatibility Calculator below as a starting point then call us to verify. We provide local professional installation at all five of our Southwest Florida locations and coordinate professional installation nationwide through Harmar's authorized dealer network. 866-218-0902 · Mon–Fri 9AM–5PM · Sat 9AM–3PM.
The World's Most Popular Outside Power Chair Lift — Here's Why
75 lb Installed · Folds to Just 12" Behind Bumper
Two numbers explain why the AL500 has been the dominant outside power chair lift on the market for years. At 75 lbs installed, it is one of the lightest 350 lb-rated exterior platform lifts available — a meaningful advantage for vehicles with tighter tongue weight limits and for reducing rear suspension load over time. And when unloaded and folded, it extends only 12" behind the bumper — compact enough for standard garage clearances that heavier, bulkier lifts cannot clear. These two attributes together make the AL500 the practical everyday choice for power chair users who want reliability without compromise.
4 Q'Straint Retractors · Two Attachment Methods · No Modifications
The AL500's retractor system is exceptionally adaptable. Four self-tensioning Q'Straint retractors secure the power chair without any drilling or modification to the chair — they attach using one of two methods depending on the chair's construction: a spreader bar that slides between the seat and seat post, or metal loops that attach directly to the chair's frame. The padded hold-down arm further stabilizes the chair during transit by gripping the frame and minimizing bouncing or lateral movement. This dual-method attachment means the AL500 works with virtually any power chair design on the market.
Stars-N-Stripes Deck · Class II Hitch · Power Chairs Only
The Stars-N-Stripes perforated aluminum deck is Harmar's patriotic signature — both a design statement and a functional anti-debris platform surface. The AL500 works with Class II or III hitches — a Class III adapter is included standard, but Class II compatibility gives it broader vehicle reach than many competing lifts. Important: the AL500 is designed exclusively for power chairs, not scooters — for a lift that handles both, see the AL300 Fusion family. Optional swing-away (adds just 2" behind bumper), battery pack, and cover available. 3-year transferable warranty · Made in USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
No — the AL500 is designed specifically for power chairs. Its retractor attachment system is optimized for power chair frames and is not designed to secure scooters. For a lift that carries both power chairs and scooters, see the AL300 Fusion family. Call us and we will help identify the right lift for your device. 866-218-0902.
Both use the identical 26" × 39" platform and the same Q'Straint retractor system. The AL500 has a 350 lb capacity, weighs 75 lbs installed, and works with Class II or III hitches. The AL500HD steps up to 400 lb capacity, weighs 77 lbs installed, and requires a Class III hitch. If your power chair weighs between 350 and 400 lbs, the HD is required. Call us to confirm. 866-218-0902.
When unloaded and folded, the AL500 extends only 12" behind the bumper — one of the most compact folded profiles of any outside platform lift. Adding the optional swing-away increases that to approximately 14". Most standard garages with typical clearance accommodate the AL500 in its folded position. Confirm your specific clearance before ordering. 866-218-0902.

This is a great blanket for those who prefer to be cool all night.
This is a great blanket for those who prefer to be slightly cooler all night. I have been using this for almost two months now. It's been difficult to figure out how to explain it's use. Ultimately I have figured out that it acts like a blanket, insulating and keeping you warm, however, wherever the blanket is actually resting on your skin stays cool. It took me a while to figure it out. How does an insulating blanket cool you? I'm not sure how the material actually works, but that is what it does, at least for slightly cool interior weather with a bit of humidity. I imagine in the desert it may work differently. I would say nights when a sheet may be too cold or thin, and a blanket way too hot, this is the in between.
The material itself is soft and almost silky. It is made well, has a pleasant appearance on the bed, and doesn't wrinkle. So getting up in the morning it is easy to toss and make the bed. It breathes unlike a duvet cover and feather blanket, so no need to air it out so much.
I have come to really love it and recommend it for anyone looking for an in between, between a sheet and comforter. I have never woken up sweating or pulling it off at night. My only experience was at first thinking I was cold but learning that I was not, only where my skin was in contact!
For the quality and price, it is definitely worth giving it a try!

Attractive Comforter That Will Keep Hot Sleepers Cool
The Bedsmile striped cooling comforter ice blanket for hot sleepers is amazing. It's cool and comfortable thanks to its unique structure. If you're a hot sleeper, then this comforter is definitely the one for you.
This comforter gives you the comfort of a blanket, but manages to also keep you cool throughout the night. It's soft and it feels cold to the touch on one side and smooth and comforting on the other. This is because one side is made from nylon which feels cool because it's a synthetic, thermally conductive material that quickly draw heat away from your skin. My daughter is the lucky recipient of this comforter, and she loves it. It matches perfectly with the gray sheets and pillowcases she already has.
I have to admit I had my doubts when I first pulled it out of the package and saw it wasn't thick like a traditional comforter, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. The design is very attractive, gray with white stripes on one side, and a solid gray on the other. It is the solid gray side that is made of nylon for that cooling effect.
It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, and it is well-stitched. This is a quality comforter made with top of the line material. It's Queen size and its measurements are true. The ad says it is "reversible" but the solid gray side is nylon and that is where you get the cooling benefits...plus, it looks so much better with the gray and white strips on top.
I'm really happy with this bedspread, it looks great, it is made with quality materials, it is soft and silky and it does keep you cool and comfortable at night. If you're looking for a good nights sleep, I highly recommend this comforter.

Quality design, materials, and stitching...with one annoying trait
There is a lot to love about this comforter.
First, as advertised, it works. I don't know how, but on a warm day in the house it feels great to cover yourself in it and to feel its "coolness."
The design is cool as well, but in a stylistic way. It's elegant and tasteful, and the colors went well with our mocha-colored walls. And the fabric color is neutral enough that it will go with a large range of colors.
The fabric has a high thread count, so it looks, feels, and is luxurious. Stitching is perfect.
Overall, the design and materials are superior...with one--for me, anyway--annoying characteristic: we couldn't keep the comforter on the bed. The backing material is so very smooth and shiny that the moment it was disturbed even in a slight way, this lovely blanket went instantly to the floor night after night, sliding down on that smoothness and shininess.
As a result we keep it kind of rolled/folded up in the middle of the bed during the day (which is a shame because the design is so nice), and we find ourselves frustrated at night when it invariably slides off the bed!
All told, this is an elegant, quality made comforter. I almost knocked a star off for its seeming inability to stay on the bed. But it looks so nice, is so well made, and actually works, that it deserves a 5-star rating. Just be ready to grab it quickly when it starts its quick slide to the floor in the middle of the night.
A good value. Recommended.

Nice for cooling but not so cool with staying on the bed
Color: Black Pinstripe, Size: King(108"x90")
Definitely cooled while sleeping however due to the silky fabric it did not stay on the bed and often ended up on the floor by morning.

Pretty nice blanket
First off I have to say that this is not exactly a cooling blanket. It is true that when you first get under it, it does feel cool. Shortly thereafter though, wherever the blanket makes contact with you it warms up to your body temperature, so it doesn’t remain cool. Still, I just moved my foot to a different area and hit a cool pocket, so it has its moments. I have to say I really like the weight of this blanket. It’s so hard to find a good blanket, that is not that thick, It is thin, which is exactly what I was looking for since I live in Florida. One side of the blanket is the “cooling“ side which is plain gray, and on the other side is a gray and white striped pattern. I’m not really crazy about the pattern to be honest. I wish this blanket came in more colors or patterns. The blanket fit my queen bed nicely - not too big or too small. For what it is, I’m not really sure I would say it’s good value for the money, but I do like this blanket.
