Bariatric Patient Lift Drive Medical, Port Washington, NY, introduces The Electric Patient Lift. The lift charges fast from an AC outlet and can be used with four point and two point slings. To charge, simply plug in the unit—the battery does not need to be removed to be charged, and the lift will not operate while plugged in. The wide base provides additional stability. The lift has a heavy-gauge construction and a weight capacity of 600 pounds. The jumbo actuator pump with emergency button can switch to manual mode to lower the patient safely. There is an audible warning when the battery falls below 50%. The mast and base fold for easy storage and transportation, and the lift also has a limited lifetime warranty.
