Can this lift be used to pick a patient up off of the floor?

Unfortunately I did not use it long enough to know whether that was possible or not.

Yes it can be lowered far enough to reach the sling loops from floor level.
753765
Yes, using the harness it comes with, the straps are long enough to reach the lift when it is in its lowest position, a patient can be lifted from the floor.

Yes, and the armrests swing away. It is lightweight also. The patient that uses it is about 135 pounds.

I can only guess. How it works would kind of depend on how heavy the mattress is and how much pull the person is exerting on the bed assist. My intended use of this device changed from assist into bed to assist out of bed with something to hang onto while standing and transferring into wheelchair. Watching user stand it became evident another device was needed to get into bed and so I purchased a hand "ladder" from Amazon that is made of nylon webbing with 3 handles for the "steps". This goes across the bed and attaches either to the bed frame or, in my instance, I attached it to the bed assist you are asking about and both are working wonderfully. I hope this answers your question. I can only guess. How it works would kind of depend on how heavy the mattress is and how much pull the person is exerting on the bed assist.

This would not be recommended to use with a chair lift. With the this design as the chair is lifting the Able Life Universal Stand will start to lean and become unstable. This should only be used with stationary furniture.

If the base fits under the car, then, yes, you can. The part where you hang the harness turns in all directions and you can nicely lower the patient to the seat.

It is actually used by me for a bad back and I cannot reach things on the floor, or up high. I imagine someone with a broken arm could use it. It is a very nice one.

I would guess no unless the person pushing was very strong. I use it to go the clinic (elevators) or a store if no carts are available. Reasonably light and folds compact but because all wheel are same size difficult to manage stairs or curb.

I have used the lift to transfer my husband from the floor to a chair and from the wheelchair, with no problems. The lift functions well and I would have to say there should be no problem in using it to transfer someone into a vehicle. I sincerely hope this helps you out.

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to use it a lot. My guess is that it would not be possible, since the upper arm lays about 3 feet over the patient's head (and would collide with the car's roof).

I don't see how it could be done, plus, you want a solid contact with the floor. The saw and stand are so light, you can pick them up and move them around very easily.

Hello Claude You need either a hydraulic or electrical lift depending on your budget and physical condition.We bought the hydraulic lift with no chains it works fine in our tile floor but the wheels still need some guidance and maneuvering.On a carpeted floor you will probably require more effort to transfer someone.

Yes.. if you are talking about it being on the floor outside the tub and you are stepping in and out onto it. I would also suggest using a grab bar in conjunction with it if no one is there to assist you. Someone mentioned about not using INSIDE tub to get out and I agree with them if that's what you have in mind. I would not use anywhere but on the floor. Myself, I use it on the driveway to assist my 91 yr old mother to get in and out of my SUV.

If you look at the work zone area there is a little crane. It has a little hook at the end to pick up items. It does go up and down. I hope this helps.

The unit is Stiff & is met to be used while the body is at rest. However, I see no reason why you couldn't use if on the job, It's just up to you.

I really don't think it would be a good idea to try to get up from a fallen position using this. It's not very sturdy, in fact its kind of cheaply made and I don't think it would be much help in getting up after having fallen. It does OK for what it's designed for but that's about it.
