Automatic lift apparatus for an automotive vehicle such as a van to be used by a disabled person in a wheel chair. The apparatus includes separate drive systems for operating a lift platform, a door latch and a door of the vehicle. The drive systems include electric motors which are powered by the battery of the vehicle and controls which are actuated by the disabled person from his wheel chair. In a particular embodiment, one set of controls is provided outside the vehicle, and another set is provided with the lift platform so that the occupant of a wheel chair can unlatch and open the door of the vehicle and be lifted into the vehicle without leaving his wheel chair. Likewise, he can unlatch and open the door from inside the vehicle and be lowered to the ground without leaving his wheel chair.
