These lifts consist of a C-shaped or U-shaped support base usually including casters, a vertical mast, a pivoting boom, a swivel bar, a seat (sling or rigid), and the lifting mechanism; they are manually, electrically, or battery operated using hydraulic or screw jack lifting mechanisms. Patient lifts are frequently used to transfer patients (e.g., to and from a wheelchair, toilet, or bathtub), reducing the risk of injury to those assisting with the transfer (typically only one person) and of patient drop. Some patient transfer lifts are mounted on tracks to permit patient transfers between rooms or different vertical levels. Lifts may also be designed to include a horizontal platform that is placed on the floor to raise a patient from the floor to standing or sitting position. These units are usually mobile, and battery powered.
