ProBasics Hydraulic Patient Lifter

This lift makes transfers very easy. I feel safe while in the sling. The lift is very easy to move while a patient is in the sling.

I have not, as of yet, found a weakness in this lift.

I am a 51-year-old woman that has had Multiple Sclerosis for more than 28 years. I also have RA throughout every joint in both arms

Good value / quality for the price of the product.

For the stated features, there are no weaknesses.

The hydraulic mechanism is not good quality.

We were using it with an individual with spastic quadraplegia

Simplicity of use.

I have found none at this time.

larry t. from cypress, ca (caregiver)

I purchased the lift for my wife. She cannot walk and has problems transferring from bed to wheelchair or from wheelchair to toilet.

It can be positioned into almost all areas of our home and it is fairly simple to operate.

It is awkward moving under our bed and spreading the base.

My wife has Alzheimer's and she has some mobility issues. She fell recently, and we couldn't get her up and had to call 911.

Strengths of this lifter are the quality and price; easy to use, lifts my wife very easy and with the controlled release valve, it lowers at a nice slow pace so there's no surprises or sudden drops. Very good quality too, made of nice heavy steel tubing, gives a very secure feeling, very well engineered and designed. I have back problems, so we needed something that I could use to help my wife in and out of bed to her wheelchair and this is just what we needed. The free sling that comes with it works perfectly; very strong material and padded for the legs so there is no discomfort for my wife as she is being lifted. Great product, can't beat the price for a nice sturdy lifter.

There's no weaknesses for this lifter that I can see or have experienced; great product.

I use this patient lifter for my wife, 59 yrs old, completely disabled.

None

Does not fit the needs of the average person. Too big, lack of flexibility.

Pickup user.

Easy to use.

A little heavy but not bad.

helen h. from port charlotte, fl (caregiver)

My wife is 95. Has fallen a number of times. Used it one time so far. It is the best equipment that I bought over the Internet in years.

Well built and stable

The sling is confusing to put on and use, but well built

We got this for a 85 year old lady that if she can get down on her knees, she can't get back up. Safety for the user and the care giver in lifting.

Rolls beautifully, easy to maneuver.

Excellent quality, very pleased with that, not difficult to assemble, works as directions said it would, directons clear. A relief just to know we now have something to assist in falls.

Heaviness makes it difficult to turn on carpet, but knew it would be, just the way it is.
