Harmar AL300RV
The AL300RV raises a power wheelchair or a scooter weighing up to 350 lbs. onto a platform behind your vehicle at the press of a button. It mounts in a Class III receiver or greater, four self-tensioning Q'Straint retractors and a rear wheel cradle hold the device in place, and the platform folds by hand when it is empty. Harmar builds this model for recreational vehicles, so the platform uses larger tubing and the adapter in the box is the reinforced H300102 rather than the standard part the AL300 ships.
The lift Harmar builds for a recreational vehicle
The AL300RV is a fully powered hitch-mounted lift that carries a power wheelchair or a scooter on a platform behind a recreational vehicle. It takes a device up to 350 lbs. on a 26" x 39" platform whose cradle extends to 46", it mounts in a Class III receiver or greater, and Harmar builds it for the stress an RV puts on a lift.
Built for real life
What stands out
Fits a Class III hitch or greater
It mounts in a receiver hitch and carries the device on a platform behind the vehicle.
Carries power wheelchairs and scooters up to 350 lbs.
The platform measures 26" by 39" and the adjustable cradle extends to 46" for a longer device.
One switch operation
The lift raises and lowers under power, and the empty platform folds up by hand.
Four self-tensioning Q'Straint retractors
They tension themselves against the device, and a rear wheel cradle holds the wheels. The device itself is not modified.
Built for the stress a recreational vehicle puts on a lift
Harmar uses larger tubing in the platform to resist fatigue on rough ground and ships a reinforced hitch adapter with it.
License plate mount included
A license plate mount comes in the box along with the hitch post and the H300102 adapter.
The AL300RV is the lift to look at when the vehicle is a motorhome rather than a car. Harmar sells it as the recreational vehicle version of the AL300, and the differences are the ones an RV owner cares about. The platform uses larger tubing so it does not fatigue on rough ground, the securement is four self-tensioning Q'Straint retractors with a rear wheel cradle, and the adapter in the box is the reinforced H300102 rather than the AL123 that ships with the AL300. It carries the same 350 lbs. on the same 26" x 39" platform, and the cradle on this one extends to 46" for a longer scooter. Two things are worth knowing before you order. It mounts one way, on the AL107 hitch post that comes in the box, because Harmar offers no swing away arm on this model at all. And the adapter is specific to an RV receiver, so a receiver sitting outside the 6" to 19" band the H300102 covers is something we settle with you before the lift ships rather than something you choose on this page. Look at the AL300 Fusion if the vehicle is a car, a van or an SUV.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- Your vehicle is a recreational vehicle or a motorhome
- You carry a power wheelchair or a scooter weighing up to 350 lbs.
- Your vehicle has a Class III hitch or better, or can have one fitted
- You want the platform and the securement Harmar builds for the stress an RV puts on a lift
Look elsewhere if you
- Your vehicle is a car, a van or an SUV, where the AL300 Fusion is the same lift built for it
- Your power wheelchair or scooter weighs more than 350 lbs.
- You need to swing the lift aside to open the back of the vehicle, because Harmar offers no swing away arm on this model
- You cannot fit a trailer hitch to your vehicle, which is not possible on every one
Specifications
Specifications are the manufacturer's own published figures for this model.
Fitting it to your vehicle
A vehicle lift is installed on the vehicle rather than unpacked and used. This is what that involves.
The receiver tube has to be installed parallel to the ground. Treat this as a requirement. A hitch fitted at an angle affects how the lift operates. Some vehicles also need the rear suspension supplemented, and some vehicles with rear parking sensors need those sensors deactivated, because automatic braking while reversing can stop the vehicle backing up.
Before you order
Work through the steps beside this panel. They settle how the lift mounts, which hitch adapter your vehicle takes and whether your state requires a plate riser, so the parts that arrive are the parts your vehicle takes.
Getting it here
Every order ships from the manufacturer to the address you give us. The carrier arranges a delivery window with you in advance. Installation is arranged separately, and we will point you at what your vehicle needs before you order rather than after.
Warranty and returns
The Harmar AL300RV is covered by Harmar's own limited warranty, published by Harmar as follows.
| What is covered | How long |
|---|---|
| Vehicle lift | 3 years |
What is not covered
The three year term runs from the date of installation and from the date of retail purchase. Harmar states that the warranty is transferable only where the application is approved by Harmar's Compatibility Calculator, so a lift fitted to a vehicle that was never checked may not carry a transferable warranty.
If something goes wrong
Call us first at 1-855-HIELINE. We file the claim with Harmar for you and get the covered part sorted out rather than handing you a phone number. The base warranty covers parts, so ask us about service and labor options when you call.
Returns
A vehicle lift cannot be returned. It is fitted to your vehicle, wired into it and in many installations drilled into it, so once that work is done the unit is matched to one car and it has no second life on the shelf. This is exactly why the steps beside this panel exist. They settle the mounting, the adapter and the plate riser before you order.
A unit that arrives damaged or faulty is a different matter and is covered above. Contact us before anyone begins the installation.
See our return policy for complete details.
Coverage at a glance
Common questions
No, and you can order before one is on the vehicle. The lift mounts in a receiver hitch of Class III or greater. A hitch shop fits one as routine work, and hitch installation is not possible on every vehicle, so confirm yours can take one.
Yes. Harmar puts the H300102 in the box and it is listed under what comes in the box above. It is a reinforced class III adapter built for a recreational vehicle, and it fits a 2" receiver sitting 6" to 19" off the ground. If your receiver sits higher than that, Harmar builds one other adapter for an RV receiver, and we arrange that one with you before the lift ships rather than selling it on this page.
The AL300RV carries power wheelchairs and scooters up to 350 lbs. The platform measures 26" by 39" and the adjustable cradle extends to 46", so a longer scooter still sits on it. Tell us the model in the vehicle and equipment step and we check it against what Harmar publishes before your order ships.
Not on this model. Harmar offers no swing away arm for the AL300RV, so the lift mounts on the fixed AL107 hitch post that comes in the box. If swinging the lift aside matters to you and the vehicle is a car, a van or an SUV, the AL300 Fusion is the same lift with both swing away arms available.
Tell us the vehicle and the scooter or power wheelchair in the vehicle and equipment step, at the end of the section above. We check what you tell us against Harmar's published capacities before your order ships, and we call you if anything does not line up.
No. It sits on the platform, four self-tensioning Q'Straint retractors tension themselves against it and a rear wheel cradle holds the wheels. Nothing is fitted to the scooter or the chair itself.
It can. Tell us where the vehicle is registered in the license plate riser step and we will tell you what your state requires. The riser is yours to add either way.
Resources
A vehicle lift bolts into a trailer hitch receiver, a square tube under the rear bumper with a pin hole through it. If you do not have one yet that is normal and it does not stop you ordering. Most vehicles take one and a hitch shop fits it as routine work.
Two measurements with a tape and we can tell you now whether the hitch adapter in the box fits your receiver. Measure the square opening across, and from the ground up to its bottom edge, both in inches. Skip them if you would rather we checked it with you before your order ships.
Where to measure
HV is the height you were asked for above. D1 and D2 are only needed when something sits close behind or in front of the receiver, and they let us name the adapter exactly. Harmar’s own rounding rule: round up above a half inch and down below it.
- HV. Ground to the bottom opening of the receiver.
- D1. Centre of the pin hole to the furthest point toward the rear of the vehicle.
- D2. Centre of the pin hole to the nearest point toward the front, going through the receiver. On some vehicles the spare tire is the nearest point.
The adapter is the short bar that slides into your receiver and carries the lift. Harmar puts one in the box at no charge and it fits most vehicles. There is nothing to choose here unless your receiver is an unusual size, or sits unusually high or low.
Whichever you pick replaces the H300102 on your order and is charged at Harmar’s own price. Leave it alone and the H300102 ships.
I need a different adapter
Only Harmar approved hitch adapters may be used with this lift. Hitch expanders and extenders are prohibited, because they can damage the vehicle and the lift and can injure the user.
3 · Hitch post
This lift mounts one way, and the parts for it come in the box at no charge. There is nothing to choose here.
This answer decides how much you have to work out yourself. A vehicle lift is wired into the vehicle and bolted to the hitch, so it is fitted rather than unpacked.
These fit this model. Choose any you want and they are added to your order with the lift.
5 · Accessories
A lift mounted behind the vehicle can cover the rear plate. Tell us where the vehicle is registered and we will say what applies there. The riser is yours to add either way.
6 · License plate riser
Last thing, and it is the one we act on rather than you. Tell us the vehicle and the scooter or power chair, and we check what you tell us against Harmar's published capacities before your order ships. All of it is optional.
7 · Your vehicle and your equipment
One step could not be settled from your measurements.
Send those three figures to a specialist and they will confirm the part for your vehicle. Call 1-855-HIELINE if you would rather talk it through.
