Wheelchair Vehicle Lift
A hitch-mounted lift that raises your wheelchair onto a carrier so it travels with you.
Quick answer
Global Dynamic Group, a veteran-built medical equipment company, offers the Wheelchair Vehicle Lift to TRICARE families across the western United States. TRICARE may cover a car lift that is an accessory to a wheelchair when it's medically necessary to carry a wheelchair TRICARE already covers. Call intake at 910-527-7081 and a person confirms coverage and availability with you before anything is ordered.
A vehicle lift carries the wheelchair, not the rider. The platform lowers to the ground, the chair rolls on and is held in place, and a motor raises it for the drive. It mounts to the vehicle's hitch, so it can come off and move to another vehicle.
Helps with
- Taking a power chair or scooter to appointments
- Traveling without lifting a heavy chair
- Getting out into the community
Good to know
- It goes with a wheelchair TRICARE already covers
- TRICARE limits this to a basic, removable lift

Coverage
TRICARE may cover a car lift that is an accessory to a wheelchair when it's medically necessary to carry a wheelchair TRICARE already covers. Coverage is limited to a basic model lift that carries the wheelchair itself and can be moved, not a permanent one. A doctor's order is needed, and intake confirms the details with you.
This kind of equipment typically needs a prescription for coverage.
