BackPacker Plus

Everyone that sees me use the lift has praised it. I have sent several people to go on line and find out more about it and find out whether you can fit their car. Many people see it and want it for someone in their family and I am happy to encourage it.

Age 69 and still working on a part time basis. Can walk about 15 ft.

I like its ability to handle a wide variety of both scooters and power chairs.

I think it is slow. It also doesn't have as many safety features as some of its competition.

I am a 62 year old male with heart problems. I have very limited mobility.

After just 2 days operation, it seems easy and sturdy, although slow-moving action. Installation was easy, with 2 people for lifting. Meets my needs at a reasonable cost.

needs on-board plug-in battery charger for unit that is not hard-wired into van electrical system

The easy loading of the scooter and it can be done by one person. My wife, who also has a slight disability, is able to completely load and unload my scooter for me.

There are none. I am thrilled to find the Silver Star Backpacker.

Easy to use loading and unloading.

Quality of fit and finish. The installer had to modify pieces, and grind down every weld place to make it work.
