Overview: A patient lift is transfer equipment that supports a person in a compatible sling. The correct lift, sling, and transfer method depend on the user, care plan, room layout, and exact product instructions.
This guide is general product information, not medical advice or transfer training. Ask a licensed clinician or trained care professional to assess the transfer and demonstrate the equipment before use.
What to compare before ordering
- Maximum supported weight for the lift and sling
- Base width, caster clearance, turning space, and lift range
- Compatible sling type, size, attachment points, and head support
- Manual or powered operation, battery details, and emergency-lowering features
- Required caregiver training and the number of caregivers specified in the care plan or manual
Use and maintenance
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact lift and sling.
- Use only compatible components and do not exceed the stated weight capacity.
- Inspect the lift, sling, seams, loops, hooks, and fasteners before use.
- Do not leave a person unattended while supported by a lift.
