The Tilt N Tote Model 001 from WheelChair Carrier solves the hardest part of traveling with a folding wheelchair, which is getting the chair into the vehicle. Instead of hoisting the chair into a trunk or cargo area, you pull one pin and the carrier's large saddle tilts down to the pavement. Roll the folded chair into the saddle, tip it forward until the pull pin snaps back into its locked position and the chair rides upright behind your bumper. Nothing about the wheelchair has to be modified or adjusted for the carrier to work.
The whole frame is welded from steel in Wauseon Ohio and protected by an e coat base layer under a weather resistant powder finish. At 23 lb the carrier adds very little tongue weight to your hitch, yet it holds chairs up to 100 lb. A folding wheelchair up to 15.5 inches wide when closed fits between the saddles, and the sliding front saddle adjusts to match your chair before you lock it down with the bolts.
Three points hold the chair in transit. The hold down arm drops its prongs over the rear wheel, a cam buckle strap cinches the arm tight and the included bungee cord captures the front casters. When you are driving without the chair, the saddle folds up flat against the hold down arm so the carrier tucks in close to the bumper and keeps your tailgate area manageable.
The Model 001 mounts on any Class 1, 2 or 3 trailer hitch fitted with a common ball mount, and the included anti rotation bracket clamps it steady on drawbars under 2.5 inches wide. WheelChair Carrier recommends a mounting height of 9 to 13 inches above the ground so the tilt action stays comfortable.

The Model 001 is configured to order. Every option below is priced in your quote. Call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 and we will walk through the choices with you and confirm current pricing and lead time.
Every Model 001 ships with the pieces needed to secure a chair, including the hold down arm, the anti rotation bracket, a 15 inch bungee cord for the front casters and the mounting bolt kit. The optional 022 fitted cover is the accessory we suggest most often for owners who park outdoors, since it protects the chair upholstery and the carrier finish from rain and road grime. Riders who also own a powerchair or scooter can step up to the Electric Tilt N Tote Model 101 or one of WheelChair Carrier's powered lift models within the same product family.
We sell the Model 001 on a quote basis so we can pair you with the right configuration and the best available price. Call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 or use our contact form and we will have a quote back to you the same business day in most cases.
Most products in this range do not meet the strict medical device rules that Medicare and Medicaid use, so they rarely qualify for coverage. We do not work with Medicare and we do not bill private insurance directly.
Some private plans will reimburse you outside of the Medicare framework. The best way to find out is to call your insurer and ask. If they say yes, we are happy to provide an invoice and proof of purchase so you can file for reimbursement.
Notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Medicare pays for equipment only when the supplier has a Medicare supplier number. Heavy Duty Mobility does not have one, so Medicare will not pay for anything we sell you. You are personally and fully responsible for payment.

Official WheelChair Carrier documents for the Model 001
Key safety notes from the manual. Never exceed the 100 lb capacity or the tongue weight rating of your hitch, which must carry the carrier plus the chair. Verify the pull pin has snapped into its locked position and the chair is fully secured before driving. Inspect the carrier regularly for loose or worn parts and stop using it until any damaged part is repaired. WheelChair Carrier recommends a preventative maintenance inspection at least once a year.
Loading takes under a minute once the front saddle is adjusted to your chair. Remove the quarter inch safety pin, swing the hold down arm out of the way and tilt the large saddle down to the ground. Roll the folded chair in so the rear wheels sit in the saddle, then tip the chair and saddle forward until the pull pin locks. Drop the hold down arm prongs over the rear wheel, hook the securing strap into the arm pivot and pull it snug without overtightening, then loop the bungee through the front casters.
Unloading reverses the process. Support the chair by its handle while you release the hold down arm so the chair rolls down under control. When no chair is aboard, rotate the saddle up against the hold down arm and lower the arm to lock the carrier in its folded stow away position against the bumper.
Care is simple. Keep the pivot points and latches greased so they move freely, retighten hardware now and then and touch up any bare metal with gloss enamel to stop rust. Check the carrier more often if your roads are salted in winter.
No. The large saddle tilts down to the ground so you roll the folded chair on, then tip it forward until the pull pin locks it upright. You guide the chair rather than lift it.
Any Class 1, 2 or 3 trailer hitch fitted with a standard ball mount. The tow ball comes off and the carrier bolts to the drawbar with the included hardware and anti rotation bracket. The drawbar should be under 2.5 inches wide.
The Model 001 is made for standard folding manual wheelchairs up to 15.5 inches wide when closed, with rear drive wheels roughly 20 to 26 inches in diameter. Rigid frame chairs and powerchairs need a different carrier.
Three ways. The hold down arm drops its prongs over the rear wheel, a cam buckle strap pulls the arm tight and the included bungee cord secures the front casters.
When no chair is loaded the saddle folds up against the hold down arm, keeping the carrier compact against the bumper. Access depends on your vehicle, and mounting the carrier above or below the drawbar helps set a workable height.
Yes. WheelChair Carrier builds it in Wauseon Ohio from all steel with an e coat and powder finish, and it carries a 3 year transferable limited warranty.
WheelChair Carrier has been building vehicle lifts and carriers since 1977 and now has close to five decades of experience in this one product category. The company designs and manufactures its carriers in Wauseon Ohio and the Model 001 wears a Made in the USA badge on its own factory literature. Its manual and electric carriers are stocked by national retailers including U-Haul and by mobility dealers across the country, and the product line has stayed in continuous production for decades because the simple steel tilt design just works. Every carrier is backed by a 3 year transferable limited warranty, which is longer than most import carriers offer and transfers to a new owner if you sell your vehicle setup.

Thanks, we've received your request. An EK Tech specialist will reach out within one business day to coordinate your demo unit.
We recently purchased a power wheel chair and had a great experience from start to finish. The process was smooth, communication was clear, and everything was delivered exactly as promised. The pricing was fair, and the quality exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend and looking forward to working together again!
Super helpful team in helping us make a decision. We needed a scooter that we could modify to carry our 2 Jack Russell’s at trials. This scooter worked out perfectly. Please let them help you. I’m sure there are bigger companies, but I felt we got such personal attention. It was an amazing experience. Delivery was just a few days. Remarkable!
Very good experience and serious. It's great to see their availability and responsiveness.
I needed a mobility scooter that was auto-folding, but not overly engineered where problems can arise, was not too heavy to lift by myself, would easily fit in the trunk of my car, and not be overly expensive. Wishful thinking I thought. Until I discovered the MOJO on my computer. This scooter ticked all my boxes, and more. It is comfortable, well built, is easy to charge the batteries without having to bend down to remove them, and even if you do want to remove them they are accessible from the standing position. the tiller is fully adjustable as are the arm rests, the folding/unfolding functions are easily initiated, and the axle release is easily achieved. A well engineered piece of kit. Now, for the customer service: I can honestly say that I have never come across anything like it; it is absolutely perfect. The gentleman I dealt with 'bent over backwards' to help me without pressuring me into a purchase, and to ensure I was buying a scooter that was right for me. Because I live in New Zealand I knew I was creating a lot more work for him, but he never complained. This and my MOJO are very much appreciated. I am very thankful for the day I first saw the MOJO on the internet. I I now own my very own MOJO.
Raffeal made my experince ordering my GIO enclosed electric scooter great and kept me up with tracking date/time of delivery. He was patient and demostrated care and great customer service.
We recently had the pleasure of experiencing service that went far beyond our expectations, and we feel compelled to highlight the exceptional professionalism of Julie and Raphael, who was instrumental in making our job easy. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for quality and excellence.
Shout out to Raphael, sales rockstar He looked after me from my first questions all the way to getting my mobility scooter by white glove delivery inside my house, together with a crash course on using it.
I was very impressed by the shopping experience and customer service offered by heavydutymobility. com. They didn't try to put sales pressure on me and made sure that I was happy with the scooter that I was getting. They even called me after the purchased to make sure I was happy with the delivery and everything else.
My sales rep was very great at keeping me up to date on the status of my order and following up with me to make sure that my delivery experience was excellent. He even called me right after I placed the order online to review everything with me and make sure that what I ordered would work for my needs. Wonderful experience overall!!
Heavy Duty Mobility is awesome! They are very responsive and easy to work with. I would recommend them 100%
Wee have worked with them many time, they are professional and timely, Al
We are so pleased with the Scoota Trailer we ordered through Heavy Duty Mobility. We dealt with Raphael who could not have be nicer and more helpful. He stayed in close contact letting me know when the manufacturer received the order, when it was complete and when it shipped. The customer service was second to none. It was obvious in all communications with Raphael that he genuinely cared that our son's needs were met with this trailer for his new powerchair. I highly recommend going through Heavy Duty Mobility when ordering equipment for yourself or your handicapped loved ones.
Excellent service ! Raphael Perlman is honest and sincere, he understands the need of the client and listens with empathy. He follows up with the client to ensure he doesn't feels forgotten or lost in the process. Highly recommended !
Product seems to be high quality. Professionally packaged when received. The company is easy to work with.
HD Mobility did a great job helping me go over the options available and what cart would work best for my Mom. They consistently followed up with me so I stayed aware of the status of the order all the way through white glove delivery. Highly recommend HD Mobility as partners.
Great company they go the extra mile for you they make sure that you get what you need the best customer service Raphael and Julie have been the best to me helping me get my mobility back after my first scooter had to be replaced use these people!!!
Heavy Duty Mobility did a fine Job matching me up with the besr mobility scooter to meet my needs. The Afikim S-3 is a high quality piece of equipment. It operates as advertised. It maintains it's speed while ascending the hills in the small town, where I live. Heavy Duty Mobility was by my side throughout the entire purchase process. Even after I took delivery of the fine S-3 scooter and needed to have questions answered about the machine. Jon Fisher Cedarville, MI
Recently purchased a mobility scooter for a family member and my experience could not have been more positive. I spoke with Raphael on the phone and via text a number of times. He was enormously knowledgeable and helpful. Scooter arrived quickly and was just as expected.
I was looking for a scooter for my mother. I researched it online and found some sites that were selling the scooter for the same price. Heavy duty mobility was willing to beat the price as they had a 5% discount. They were also. Extremely kind and helpful. They answered all my questions and what they did not know. They contacted the company to find out and got back to me the same day. They kept me in the loop with shipping and also reached out to me to confirm receipt and to make sure everything was correct and working properly. Very impressed
Found the type of Scooter. I wanted to buy online not everyone has the kind of scooter. I have . Talked to Raphael Perlmann about the scooter I wanted. I was a little hesitant at first because they were from Florida. After talking to Raphael I felt a much more comfortable about the idea of having a scooter shipped all across the country am in Seattle WA. The scooter arrived,in shipping and had a torn seat. Ops Raphael took care of the problem got me a new seat ASP negotiated with the makers of my scooter.for me. Couple months into having my scooter. I had an issue with the wheel making a noise.. Called my dealer Raphael he worked tirelessly negotiating with the maker of the Scooter to make sure the issue got fixed . Would’ve loved not to have any issues with my new scooter, but knowing Raphael was on my side, helping me anytime there was an issue to get the problem fixed was a huge blessing. Raphael Perlmann Has restored my faith in Customer service . So many companies sell your product and then they don’t care they got their money ! Not that way at heavy mobility scooters store .

I will recommend to my mother and any other family member, and friend to order a scooter from Raphael Perlmann ..: His care and consideration for me and my Scooter has definitely restored my faith and Customer service . The quality of customer service I receive from him is a wonderful change from the type of customer service I get from businesses I work with and give money to every month .

This company Listen's They are very professional, they listen to what you would like to have, and they may make suggestions, but the decisions are up to you. The person I talked with was very professional. He knew what products I may like, but in the end it was my choice of what to buy, or not buy. There was no pressure, just suggestions I appreciate people who don't pressure you into buying something.
I bought a mobility scooter for my upcoming vacation. I needed something to take me over grass. The staff at heavydutymobility.com were more than patient, guiding me with all my endless questions with endless patience! The scooter itself is from the Afiscooters brand, which was recommended and so far, so good.
Very pleased with the advice and help in getting a mobility scooter. I can't walk very far anymore and needed a reliable machine, not a cheaply-made one. Staff were very assistive.
I was helped by Emily in an exemplary way. They don't forget about you and offer very good support on how to use your scooter. Thanks, Emily, 5 stars!
Very helpful staff. They know their scooters. I ended up getting an Afiscooter model and am very pleased.
