Manual Deluxe Chrome Plated Lift with 6-Point Cradle

Capacity is 450 pounds, and the lift itself weighs 85 pounds. The boom travels from 24 inches to 70 inches. It is a hydraulic model: a caregiver operates the pump to raise and lower a person from a stationary position. The frame is chrome-plated steel, and Drive lists a lifetime limited warranty on that frame.

This model uses a 6-point cradle and is listed for a 6-point sling. Chains are included with the lift, which is how many 6-point slings attach to this style of cradle. A compatible 6-point sling, sized for the person, is still required for a transfer unless a package listing says a sling is in the box.

The base adjusts from 22.5 inches closed to 42 inches open, and it stands 6 inches high. That spread lets a caregiver widen the stance around a chair or wheelchair and narrow it to move through a tighter space. Caster brakes are listed and are described as straightforward to set.

The frame is chrome-plated steel. Drive covers it with a lifetime limited warranty. The assembled lift weighs 85 pounds and uses a hydraulic pump rather than a battery-powered actuator. For questions about this model before you order, call 1-877-861-8000 on weekdays between 9 AM and 6 PM Pacific.

This is a manual hydraulic model, so the caregiver works a pump to raise the boom. It still offers a 450-pound capacity, a 24- to 70-inch range, a 6-point cradle with chains, and a base that opens to 42 inches. A powered lift is a different product in the same category; the decision is about the lifting mechanism and the dimensions you need.
