One of our most popular hitch cargo carriers with a ramp is the Flint Hill Goods 30 X 50 Cargo Carrier with Ramp # FHG77ZR. This carrier will fit in a 2-inch trailer hitch receiver and has a weight capacity of up to 500 pounds. The ramp on this carrier will make it easier to load a wheelchair on this carrier. Once the wheelchair is loaded, the ramp will fold up, and be secured in place with a pin and clip. This carrier weighs 80 pounds, so you would need two people attached it easily. Once it is on your vehicle, you will be good to go. When not in use, it folds up against your vehicle if you have roof to do so. If you know you won't be using it for an extended time, you should have someone remove it to protect it from the elements.

I have attached a review video of this carrier for you.

I recommend checking your vehicle's and your trailer hitch's tongue weight capacities to ensure you can safely carry your motorized wheelchair on your vehicle. For example, if your vehicle and trailer hitch are capable of carrying 500 pounds tongue weight, you will want to subtract the weight of the carrier from 500 in order to find how much weight you can carry on your cargo carrier. With the # FHG77ZR carrier and a vehicle and hitch with a 500-pound tongue weight capacity, you would be able to carry 420 pounds on the carrier.

If you do not already have the needed tie-down straps to secure your motorized wheelchair, I recommend the Erickson Re-Tractable Ratchet Straps with Push Button Releases # EM34415. Each strap has a safe working load limit of 400 pounds.
