Factors To Consider
* This stand up hoist is designed to assist with the standing transfer of a person from one seated position to another seated position.
* The person needs to have the ability to weight bear
* Stand up hoists are not designed to promote standing skills nor raise someone to a full standing position, knees should remain partly flexed at all times.
* The Lite Range of mobile hoists weighs approx 30% less that standard hoists
* It is easier to transport
* It is easier for carers or therapists to push due to lightweight construction
