Protekt 500/600 Power Patient Lift

It seems to be a worthwhile electric lift. Not too bulky as my previous Levantine was. Easy to move on my wood floors. Leaves enough space for my husband’s legs when I raise him for a transfer.

The base of the unit doesn’t open as wide, but it is sufficient for bed to power chair or to commode transfers. My battery pack unit suddenly fell off 2 days after I received and started using it.

Lift seemed to be good until the battery pack fell off the unit 2 days after I got it. Many calls back and forth, but customer service came through.

This is easy to use, easy to charge and does not take up a lot of room.

The hooks are not quite as solid as another brand we used at the hospital we were at.

My son is a 16 year old quadriplegic. He has C5-7 injuries.

It makes it a LOT easier to get me out of bed.

MOTORIZED WHEEL CHAIR

Ease of operation.

Hard to maneuver around on soft floors.

I am a 78 year old women who has lost the use of her legs due to polio. The lift is very easy to use on hard floors but not on carpet.

What a difference from using a manual Hoyer Lift. All you have to do is press a button up and down. Can’t get any easier than that. My husband feels very safe and relaxed in the sling as opposed to standing from his lift chair up while holding his walker as we pivot him to his wheelchair then doing it again to get into hospital bed.

A little hard to maneuver on carpet but we are managing.

Advanced Primary Progressive MS. Can no longer stand or walk.

smooth operation of hoist. rolls well on hard surface.

could use better book on charging battery. note should state power button should be in run position to charge. also has a bad pinch point at battery and hoist arm if you are not paying attention when lifting.

this lift has been a great help in the moving of the patient. we are able to do this with just the two of us, using the remote control.
