Question Recommendations for Lift

I am looking for recommendations for a lift for my new power chair.
I have a Quantum 600 and it is wonderful. Extremely comfortable and 'handles' like a sports car. I had been using a power chair that DH found on EBay which helped me to get out and about.

The new chair was 'made' especially for me and what a difference!! I am not petite and this chair has a seat that is long enough, a back that is high enough and a leg brace which keeps my left leg from falling off the footrest!

The only draw back being is the weight, approx 300 lbs If my DS is with us he can lift it into and out of our 2007 GMC Envoy.

DH cannot lift that amount of weight. We can take the chair if we use the pick up and the ramps but that is not always practical when thunderstorms threaten.

So, I am in the process of researching lifts that would raise the chair and swing it into the back of the Envoy.

DH's employers will pay for the lift, so thankfully cost is not a problem.

Does anyone have any recommendations?? Any & all help is appreciated!
