Buyer's Guide for UTV Mobility Equipment Accessories: Helping You Shop!

A Simple Breakdown of UTV Mobility Carrier Specs

The good news is, if you need mobility equipment assistance for your UTV, you have options. The challenge is, with more variety comes more to learn. But never fear, because once you get a feel for these setups, it will come naturally. First, it’s most convenient to categorize side-by-side mobility equipment accessories by what they are intended to carry. If you’re looking to carry a manual wheelchair, a simpler platform should serve you just fine.

On the other hand, if you need to load up heavier power wheelchairs on a regular basis, you’re going to need a stronger carrier. Mobility scooters are similar in both of these points. Finally, loading height matters for carriers mounted to UTVs. Your hitch height determines how high you're lifting or ramping equipment. Lower hitch mounts make loading easier but might reduce ground clearance. Some carriers include height-adjustable features or can be installed in different orientations to optimize loading height for your specific situation and physical capabilities.

Side-by-Side Ramp Systems and Loading Solutions

One intuitive, powerful setup that people with power wheelchairs and mobility scooters love is the integrated ramp carrier. This type of UTV equipment carrier stores onto the vehicle itself and is easy to deploy. A high-quality ramp, for example, will use textured aluminum and a solid weight capacity to reliably get your equipment on board.

This is a good opportunity to bring up the ramp angle versus length. Longer ramps create gentler angles but take up more space when deployed. Typically, wheelchairs and scooters can manage a fifteen to twenty-degree incline without too much trouble. Side rails are always a great help, of course.

Securing equipment during transport requires proper tie-down points and appropriate straps. Carriers should include multiple D-rings or attachment points for securing equipment from multiple angles. Wheelchair/scooter users often have specific preferences for how equipment should be secured based on their equipment's configuration.

Let’s Talk Side-by-Side Equipment Mobility, Safety, and Stability

Suffice it to say, hauling mobility equipment on a UTV is a completely different experience than taking a wheelchair or scooter along in your truck. Constant vibration and impact seriously raise the demands of your hardware to secure the load. If you want something that’s not going to shift or bounce around, you need side-by-side mobility equipment gear that comes with multiple tie-down points.

Stability also relies on hitch mounting and how your carrier is constructed. If your side-by-side mobility equipment carrier, for example, sticks out a good deal from the vehicle, you might be up against unwanted torque that stresses your hitch. If you’re using a hitch receiver, it needs to be rated for the tongue weight. Finally, ground clearance becomes an issue with carriers that extend behind and below your UTV's bed. Steep terrain, rocks, or obstacles that your UTV clears might contact carriers and damage equipment or create high-centering situations. Check carrier positioning relative to your UTV's approach and departure angles, and consider how a loaded carrier affects clearance during maximum suspension articulation.

UTV Mobility Equipment Accessory Frequently Asked Questions

Will all that vibration damage my power wheelchair?

Not if your side-by-side mobility equipment is set up right!. Proper securing prevents equipment from bouncing excessively. The equipment should be strapped down firmly so it moves with the carrier rather than bouncing on it. Padding contact points where straps touch equipment prevents wear and distributes pressure.

Can I just use a standard cargo carrier for wheelchairs or scooters?

A standard carrier may work for folding wheelchairs (so long as you’re within the weight limit), but dedicated mobility gear is highly recommended for anything beyond this, especially if you plan to transport your gear on a regular basis.

How heavy of a power wheelchair can my hitch handle?

This depends more on your UTV’s hitch rating than the carrier itself. To provide a rough ballpark figure, most UTV hitches can take between 200-400 pounds in tongue weight. Don’t forget to factor in the weight of the carrier.
