In a home the mobile patient floor lift can be the most economical choice. Mobile patient floor lifts should have 4 casters for increased stability and easier transfer of the patient. This increased stability will be especially important if the patient needs to be lifted from the floor due to a fall. The mobile patient floor lift requires no muscle tone or cooperative input on the patients’ part since the patient floor lift supports 100% of the patients’ weight. The mobile patient floor lift makes transfers from bed/chair/bathroom/floor much easier than a manual lift. Mobile patient floor lifts work best used in non-carpeted areas. Once the patient floor lift has been loaded, a carpeted floor makes maneuvering the patient lift difficult. Most patient floor lifts weigh about 100 lbs. plus the weight of the patient and this becomes a heavy load even with the legs of the patient floor lift spread for stability. Prior to purchasing a mobile patient floor lift makes sure that you measure the under bed clearance. Under bed clearance is determined by measuring the distance between the floor and the underside of the patient’s bed. Some of the advantages to buying a mobile patient floor lift are; low cost, and easy patient lowering and lifting. Another advantage to the mobile patient floor lift is its versatility. (This patient floor lift can be used in multiple rooms with little effort in moving and they are sized to fit through most doors by putting one leg of the patient floor lift in at a time.) Also with the mobile patient floor lift there are no installation costs. The patient floor lift can easily lift from the floor or from a laying position. The physical and mental requirements of the patient are typically not a factor when using a mobile patient floor lift. However, if you sense the need, do ask your patient if they object to the use of a patient floor lift before purchase.
