What Is the Harmar AL300 Fusion Lift?
The Harmar AL300 Fusion Lift is an outside platform lift designed to transport compatible power chairs and scooters. Its versatile design allows one lift to accommodate different types of mobility equipment, making it an option for users who may need to transport either a scooter or a power chair.
The lift uses four self-tensioning Q’Straint retractors to help secure the mobility device without requiring modifications to the scooter or power chair. When the platform is empty, it automatically folds up and out of the way with the flip of a single switch.
The AL300 features a 350-pound lifting capacity, an adjustable cradle, and compatibility with Class II or Class III hitches. A swing-away option is also available for select applications.

Four Q’Straint Retractors for Mobility Device Securement
The Harmar AL300 uses four self-tensioning Q’Straint retractors to help secure compatible power chairs and scooters during transportation. This system is designed to accommodate different mobility devices without requiring modifications to the scooter or power chair.
The mobility device must be positioned and secured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Confirm that the AL300 is compatible with your equipment’s size, weight, and configuration before installation.
Automatic Folding Platform
When the AL300 platform is empty, it automatically folds up and out of the way with the flip of a single switch. This feature helps reduce the space occupied by the lift when a mobility device is not being transported.
The platform’s folded position and available clearance depend on the vehicle and installation configuration. Confirm rear clearance and vehicle compatibility before selecting the lift.
AL300HD Fusion Lift
The Harmar AL300HD Fusion Lift is also available for users who need a higher lifting capacity. The heavy-duty version offers a 400-pound capacity, compared with the 350-pound capacity of the standard AL300.
The appropriate model depends on the weight and dimensions of your mobility device, along with your vehicle’s hitch and installation requirements. Confirm compatibility before choosing between the standard and heavy-duty versions.
