This trailer is not only light and strong but also keeps your mobility device safe and sound, giving you peace of mind wherever you go.

Whether you’re hitting the highway or cruising through town, Scoota Trailer ensure your scooter or wheelchair is part of every journey, all with minimal effort on your part.

ScootaTrailer Specifications and Features

Scoota Trailer  is perfectly suited for carrying most types of mobility scooters and power wheelchairs. It makes it easy for you to take your mobility device wherever you go, using any vehicle that has a hitch. Here’s a closer look at what makes Scoota Trailer so practical and reliable:

Size and Weight

The inside of the trailer is 66 inches long and 37.5 inches wide. From front to back, the outside measures 93 inches, and it’s 54 inches wide. It stands 63 inches tall. The trailer bed is very low to the ground, only 9 inches high, which makes it easier to load and unload your scooter or wheelchair. With the optional aluminum top attached, the trailer weighs 475 lbs, and without the top, it weighs 400 lbs.

Capacity and Compatibility

The trailer can safely carry mobility devices weighing up to 600 lbs. It’s designed to be towed by any car or truck with the right type of hitch. NOTE: This trailer is designed for transporting your mobility scooter; it is not intended to be pulled by a mobility scooter. This is not a scooter equipped with a trailer, nor is it an attachment for expanding the storage capacity of your mobility scooter. If you are looking for a used mobility scooter trailer, we recommend checking platforms like eBay or Facebook Marketplace, as all our trailers are brand new and sold firsthand.

Build and Safety Features

Scoota Trailer uses high-quality Dexter® torflex axles and is fitted with strong, 145 x 12-inch 8-ply tires that are made for high speeds. It needs a 2-inch towing ball and the correct ball height is between 17 and 19 inches. The trailer includes a handy swivel jack and caster wheel to help move it around when it’s not attached to a vehicle. It also has safety chains and proper lighting, all approved by DOT (Department of Transportation) standards across all 50 states and in Canada.

Ease of Use

The trailer puts very little pressure on the hitch of your vehicle — only between 35 and 75 pounds. This light pressure helps keep the trailer stable and distributes the weight evenly, which means it won’t make your vehicle harder to drive.

Extra Features

You can choose to add a lightweight aluminum top to the trailer, which gives it a vertical clearance of 52 inches inside. Another helpful feature is the trailer’s ramp, which is coated with a special spray rubber. This coating stops your scooter or wheelchair from slipping as you load it onto the trailer, making the process safer and easier.

Scoota Trailer blends functional design with user-friendly features, offering an excellent solution for transporting mobility devices with ease and safety. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a dependable way to bring their mobility aid along on any trip.

Can Any Vehicle Tow a Scoota Trailer?

Yes, any vehicle that can have a hitch installed can easily tow a ScootaTrailer. This includes all types of vehicles, from small cars like the Honda Fit, Ford Focus, and Toyota Prius, to big trucks and SUVs. Whether you drive a tiny Smart Car or a large SUV, if your vehicle has a hitch, it can handle towing a ScootaTrailer with an electric wheelchair or scooter weighing up to 600 lbs.

As mentioned, ScootaTrailer is designed to be easy on your vehicle’s hitch too. Even though it can carry heavy mobility devices, the trailer itself only puts a small amount of weight—between 35 and 75 lbs—directly onto your vehicle’s hitch. This means you can drive at highway speeds without worrying about putting too much strain on your vehicle or hitch, ensuring a smooth and secure trip.

With its ability to fit any vehicle and its gentle touch on the hitch, Scoota Trailer is a top choice for transporting mobility devices, offering simplicity and reliability in towing.

Why Choose Scoota Trailer Over Other Transport Products?

Safety and Stability: ScootaTrailer™ features an independent suspension and a low center of gravity that minimizes bounce, ensuring it remains extremely stable at highway speeds without swaying. It exerts only 35-75 pounds of pressure on the tow hitch and maintains an even weight distribution, enhancing stability for mobility devices up to 600 lbs.

Security

The trailer includes an optional lockable top, providing a reliable deterrent against theft.

User-Friendly Design

Scoota Trailer is designed for easy connectivity. It can be quickly attached or detached from the tow vehicle. Thanks to the swivel caster wheel at the front, it is straightforward to maneuver the trailer to your vehicle, rather than reversing your vehicle to the trailer. This design allows for complete access to any vehicle’s rear trunk or hatch, even while connected.

Ease of Mobility

The design incorporates a space between the load ramp (in the up, travel position) and the optional aluminum top (in the closed, travel position). This allows for easy gripping and moving the trailer, similar to maneuvering a shopping cart, thanks to the front caster jack wheel.

Efficient Loading and Unloading

The trailer is equipped with a gas shock-assisted spray rubber coated rear load ramp, making loading and unloading simple and fast. It also includes four rope pull ratchets and ten tie-down points to secure your transport product firmly.

Protection from the Elements

Unlike many transport devices that leave mobility devices exposed to weather, ScootaTrailer™ offers an optional top that completely encloses your scooter or wheelchair in an all-weather chamber. Additionally, the trailer body features a durable baked-on powder coat enamel finish that resists chipping and rusting. An optional spray-in rubber bed liner provides extra protection against damage from harsh weather conditions.

Quality Justifies the Price

Scoota Trailer might cost a bit more upfront, but you’re paying for top-quality. Each trailer is made in the USA by experts who only build this one product and have been doing it for many years. This focus on making just one thing really well means your trailer is built to last and protect your mobility device better than others might, making it a good investment.

Choosing Scoota Trailer means opting for a blend of safety, convenience, and protection, making it an excellent choice for transporting mobility devices.

What to Do Upon Delivery of Your ScootaTrailer

When your ScootaTrailer arrives, it’s very important to check it carefully before you sign for it. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do:

1. Inspect the Package

As soon as the trailer is delivered, start by removing the packaging. Check for any obvious damage like tears, holes, or dents on the box. If the delivery person doesn’t let you open the box right there, make sure you write this down on the delivery receipt.

1. Check the Aluminum Top

If you ordered an aluminum top with your trailer, take off the shrink wrap and styrofoam to look it over closely. It’s normal for the aluminum to have some waves or bends — this happens during manufacturing and isn’t considered damage.

1. Verify Complete Delivery

Make sure you receive all parts of your order at the same time. If the trailer and the aluminum top (if ordered) aren’t delivered together, note this on the delivery sheet the driver gives you.

1. Record Any Damage

If you see any damage, write it down on the receipt before you sign it. Taking photos from different angles with your phone or camera can also be very helpful. If you don’t write down the damage at delivery, you’re accepting the shipment as is, which means you can’t claim it was damaged later. If part of your order is damaged, you can refuse just that damaged part, not the whole order.

Warranty Information for ScootaTrailer

Every ScootaTrailer comes with a one-year limited warranty that starts from the date you buy it. This warranty covers any problems with the materials used or the way the trailer was made. To make sure your trailer is covered by this warranty, you must buy it from an approved dealer like Heavy Duty Mobility. This ensures that you receive a quality product and that any issues within the first year can be handled properly under the warranty terms.
