Types of Patient Lifts for Home Use

There are several types of patient lifts available for home use, each designed to accommodate different needs and situations. Our team can help you determine which model is best for you or your loved one.

Our selection of transfer lifts includes both manual and electric lifts. As the most basic type of patient lift, manual lifts are operated by a caregiver using hydraulic assistance. They are generally less expensive than other types of lifts, but they require physical effort from the caregiver to operate. These medical patient lifts are suitable for situations where the lift isn’t frequently used or when there’s always a caregiver available to assist.

In contrast to manual lifts, electric transfer lifts are powered by electricity. This type of patient lift is ideal for situations where the patient needs to be moved several times a day or when the caregiver might struggle with the physical demands of a manual lift.

Beyond manual vs. electric patient transfer lifts, our lifts can be categorized in the following ways:

Fixed Ceiling Lifts

Our fixed patient lifts are installed directly into the ceiling of a room and allow for easy, unobstructed transfer of a patient from one point to another. Ceiling-mount patient lift systems can cover larger areas and multiple rooms, making them a great solution for individuals who need frequent transfers throughout their homes. They are, however, more expensive and require professional installation.

Free Standing Lifts

Free standing mobility patient lifts provide many of the benefits of ceiling lifts without requiring permanent modifications to the home. Most of these systems feature two support legs connected by an overhead track, creating a stable lifting solution for transfers in bedrooms, bathrooms, and other living spaces. However, we do have a 4-post free standing track that allows for coverage of larger transfer areas.

Portable Lifts

Perfect for homes where space is at a premium or for travel purposes, portable lifts (such as the P-Series portable ceiling lift or the Carina 350 lift) can be easily disassembled and transported. They provide the same safety and support as non-portable models but offer the added benefit of mobility.

Independent Lifts

Independent lifts are designed for individuals who maintain some level of mobility and balance and can operate the transfer on their own. These lifts are often used for moving between beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and other seated positions while maintaining safety and comfort.

Sit-to-Stand Lifts

These devices are designed to assist patients who have some degree of weight-bearing capacity. They help the patient transition from sitting to standing positions and vice versa, providing support throughout the process. A sit-to-stand lift is often used in rehabilitation settings to help the patient regain their standing and walking abilities.

Bathtub Lifts

These lifts are designed specifically to help individuals get in and out of the bathtub safely. They are waterproof and usually battery-operated, providing a secure and comfortable bathing experience for those with mobility challenges.
