Two Ways to Transport Your Mobility Device

Interior vs. Exterior Vehicle Lifts in Lexington, KY

Bruno vehicle lifts can transport a scooter, powerchair, or wheelchair either inside your vehicle or behind it. Platform lifts support the mobility device on a platform, while hoist-style lifts use a docking device to lift and move it. The best option depends on your vehicle, mobility device, available cargo space, and how you prefer to load and travel.

Interior Vehicle Lifts

Interior lifts move the mobility device into the vehicle's cargo area, helping protect it from weather and road exposure. Bruno's Joey is an inside platform-style lift, while the Curb-Sider is a compact hoist-style lift that raises and stows the device inside the vehicle.

  • Helps protect the mobility device from weather while traveling
  • Options are available for compatible SUVs, vans, minivans, and trucks
  • Requires enough interior cargo space for the lift and mobility device

Exterior Vehicle Lifts

Exterior lifts carry the mobility device behind the vehicle, preserving interior seating and cargo space. Bruno's Out-Sider is an exterior platform lift, while the Chariot is an exterior platform lift with independent suspension that carries the load behind the vehicle.

  • Preserves interior seating and cargo space
  • Exterior options are available for many compatible cars, SUVs, vans, and trucks
  • Mobility device remains exposed to weather and road conditions while traveling

Compatibility matters. Bruno determines viable vehicle-lift options using your vehicle's year, make, and model together with the make, model, dimensions, and weight of your mobility device. Not every lift fits every combination. Use Altamira's Auto Lift Finder or contact our Lexington team for help matching the right lift.

Bruno Vehicle Lifts for Lexington Drivers

Altamira installs Bruno scooter, powerchair, and wheelchair lifts in the Lexington area. The right model depends on your vehicle's year, make, and model; your mobility device's size and weight; and how you prefer to load and transport it.

Bruno Out-Sider exterior scooter and wheelchair lift on a white SUV Exterior Platform

Bruno Out-Sider

Exterior platform · 350 lb capacity

Bruno's most popular exterior platform lift carries compatible scooters, wheelchairs, and powerchairs behind the vehicle while preserving interior seating and cargo space. The hitch-mounted platform can be configured for different mobility devices, and the optional Swing-Away allows the lift to pivot aside for easier cargo access.

Bruno Curb-Sider interior hoist lift loading a mobility scooter Interior Hoist

Bruno Curb-Sider

Hoist style · 250, 400 & 450 lb versions

The Curb-Sider is an interior hoist-style lift for compatible scooters and powerchairs. Connect the docking device, operate the control, and the lift raises, rotates, and stows the mobility device inside a compatible SUV, van, or truck. Multiple lifting capacities allow the system to be matched to the weight of the device.

Bruno Joey interior platform lift loading a scooter into a vehicle Interior Platform

Bruno Joey

Interior platform · 350 lb capacity

Drive a compatible scooter or powerchair onto the platform, press the control, and the Joey lifts and retracts the mobility device into the vehicle's cargo area. It is designed for compatible minivans, select SUVs, and some full-size vans while keeping the mobility device protected from weather during travel.

Bruno Chariot exterior platform scooter lift Exterior Platform

Bruno Chariot

Exterior platform · 350 lb capacity

The Chariot transports a compatible scooter or powerchair behind the vehicle on an exterior platform. Its independent suspension bears the mobility-device load, and its 360-degree wheels help make the lift easier to maneuver when positioning or storing it.

Bruno Out-Rider hoist lift loading a mobility device into a pickup truck bed Pickup Truck Hoist

Bruno Out-Rider

Hoist style · 350 lb capacity

Designed specifically for pickup trucks, the Out-Rider lifts and rotates a compatible wheelchair, scooter, or powerchair into the truck bed. Depending on the installation configuration, it can also allow the user to control loading from inside the cab.

Not Sure Which Fits?

Find the Right Vehicle Lift

Vehicle + mobility-device matching

Tell us your vehicle's year, make, and model along with the make, model, and approximate weight of your scooter, powerchair, or wheelchair. We'll narrow down the compatible lift options before you choose a system.

Use the Auto Lift Finder

Fit and specifications are model-specific. Bruno's current vehicle-lift lineup spans lifting capacities from 100 to 450 lb, and a feature or capacity available on one model should not be assumed to apply to another. Bruno states that Out-Sider and Chariot installations typically require about 1–2 hours, while Joey and Curb-Sider installations may take about 3–4 hours. Actual installation time can vary with the vehicle and configuration. Compatibility, required options, and capacity are confirmed for your specific vehicle and mobility device before installation. These Bruno vehicle lifts carry a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Financing Options

Financing is available for qualified buyers on eligible purchases through Lend Home Improvement (LendHI). Approval, rates, loan amounts, payments, and repayment terms depend on the applicant and lender.

VA Automobile Adaptive Equipment

VA Benefits for Vehicle Lifts

Vehicle lifts are handled through VA's Automobile Adaptive Equipment (AAE) program — not the HISA home-modification benefit. VA's current AAE schedule includes several types of mobility-device lifts and carriers for eligible Veterans and service members.

Vehicle Lifts Are Listed Under AAE

VA's current Automobile Adaptive Equipment schedule includes mobility-device equipment such as in-vehicle rotary hoists, in-vehicle platform lifts, truck-bed hoists, hitch-mounted lifts, wheelchair carriers, and other adaptive vehicle equipment.

VA Determines Eligibility & Equipment

VBA determines eligibility for the automobile allowance and AAE program. VHA determines entitlement, including prescribing the specific adaptive equipment needed to safely operate or enter and exit the vehicle. Altamira does not determine or guarantee VA eligibility.

Get VA Approval Before You Buy

VA requires approval before purchasing a vehicle or adaptive equipment. For an adaptive-equipment grant, VA directs applicants to use VA Form 10-1394 and work with the prosthetic representative at their local VA medical center.

How Altamira can help: Our Lexington team can identify a compatible Bruno vehicle lift, provide product specifications and a written estimate for VA review when requested, and provide installation documentation associated with the approved equipment. VA determines eligibility, medical need, prescribed equipment, authorization, and the amount it will pay or reimburse.

Official VA AAE Program Current VA AAE Schedule VA Form 10-1394 VA Eligibility & Application

Do not purchase the lift first and apply afterward. VA states that approval must be obtained before a vehicle or adaptive equipment is purchased. Your VA care team, Prosthetic & Sensory Aids Service, or VA representative should confirm the appropriate process for your individual case before equipment is ordered.

Common Questions

Vehicle Lift Questions from Lexington Customers

Does Altamira install automobile lifts in Lexington, KY?

Yes. Altamira sells, installs, and services Bruno interior and exterior vehicle lifts for customers throughout Lexington, Fayette County, and surrounding communities in the Bluegrass Region. Our Lexington location is at 2424 Palumbo Drive, Lexington, KY 40509.

Do I have to bring my vehicle to a shop for installation?

Not necessarily. Vehicle-lift consultations can usually begin by phone or online, and installation at your home or workplace is available when appropriate for the vehicle, lift, and installation. Our Lexington team will confirm the installation plan before the lift is ordered.

What is the difference between an interior and exterior vehicle lift?

An interior lift stores the mobility device inside the vehicle's cargo area, helping protect it from weather and road exposure. Bruno's Joey is an interior platform lift, while the Curb-Sider is an interior hoist-style lift. Exterior systems carry the mobility device behind the vehicle. The Out-Sider is a hitch-mounted exterior platform, while the Chariot uses its own independent suspension to carry the mobility device behind the vehicle.

Will a vehicle lift fit my car, SUV, van, or truck?

It depends on the exact vehicle and mobility device. Bruno offers vehicle lifts for compatible cars, SUVs, minivans, vans, and pickup trucks, with capacities across its current scooter and powerchair lift lineup ranging from 100 to 450 lb. We check your vehicle's year, make, and model along with the make, model, dimensions, and weight of your mobility device before recommending a lift. You can also start with our Auto Lift Finder.

How much does an automobile lift cost?

Vehicle-lift pricing varies because the final system depends on the lift model, required capacity, vehicle compatibility, mobility device, installation requirements, and any selected options. Altamira provides a written estimate for the recommended lift and installation so you can review the project cost before deciding how to proceed.

Will the VA pay for my vehicle lift?

Possibly, depending on your individual VA eligibility and clinical need. For eligible Veterans and service members with qualifying service-connected disabilities, vehicle lifts and other approved equipment may be provided through VA's Automobile Adaptive Equipment (AAE) program. VBA determines program eligibility, while VHA determines entitlement and prescribes the adaptive equipment.

VA also maintains a separate vehicle-modification pathway for certain Veterans who do not qualify for VBA's service-connected AAE benefit. Because the correct pathway depends on the individual, contact your local VA Prosthetic & Sensory Aids Service before purchasing or installing equipment. VA requires authorization before covered vehicle modifications or adaptive equipment are installed. Review VA Automobile Adaptive Equipment information.

What warranty comes with a Bruno vehicle lift?

Bruno currently backs its scooter, powerchair, and wheelchair vehicle lifts with a 3-year limited manufacturer warranty. Warranty coverage is subject to Bruno's terms and the specific lift model.

Is financing available for a vehicle lift?

Yes. Financing is available for qualified buyers on eligible purchases through Altamira's financing program. Approval, rates, loan amount, monthly payment, and repayment terms depend on the applicant and lender.

Does Altamira rent automobile lifts?

No. Altamira does not offer automobile-lift rentals. We sell, install, and service vehicle lifts.
