The IndeeLift Floor to Stand (PPU-S) is a patient lift designed to lift a person from the floor or seated height to a sitting or standing position without risk of injury to the fallen person or anyone assisting them. This patient lift can be used to lift a person from any place a user may be seated (floor, commode, wheelchair, couch, etc.) to a standing position. The FTS can be self-operated or operated with the assistance of a helper, safely lifting a person up to 30 inches from the floor to achieve a full standing position. This device can also be used to raise the user from a standing position on the floor to assist in getting onto a bed or gaining access to higher locations in the home without using a stepladder.

How the Floor To Stand Design Works: The Floor To Stand lift is designed to assist a wide range of users. For those who are able to walk away once they are on their feet, the FTS lifts the user to a seated level and, as the lifting continues, the seat tilts forward allowing the transfer of the user’s weight to their legs at a comfortable level as dictated by the height of the specific user. The FTS has been designed and tested to work with individuals of any height up to 6’4. For users with less mobility, the transfer directly to a power chair or wheelchair is accomplished by raising the seat height to about 21 inches, which allows a height difference of one to two inches for lift-free transfers from most seated positions.

How It Works: The Floor To Stand Lift is a portable unit that is rolled around on wheels like a traditional dolly. The small footprint allows it to be positioned in many places other lifts simply cannot go. With a turning radius of 34”, the FTS can go just about anywhere including most small bathrooms and hallways.

On top of that, the FTS lift's patented design includes a mounting ramp seat that eliminates the need to ever “lift” a person manually. There is also a tracking function that allows the seat to shift forward as the user is lifted and shifting their weight onto their legs. A user on the floor either scoots onto the lift using the front ramp or they can tilt up onto the seat. The FTS seat plate can either be locked in a stationary position or unlocked to allow the seat plate to rotate forward to allow a user to get to a standing position. Two locking tabs are located at the rear of the seat plate, one on each side of the main vertical column.

The rise-assist handles have been engineered to provide leverage for the seated person to assist in the process of standing once they are up from the floor. The arms can swing away from the seat when needed. The arms are also removable to allow a direct transfer to a wheelchair or other destination. The arms can also be moved to a higher position on the lift to provide support while using the lift while standing on the lift.

The IndeeLift FTS and all components have a one-year warranty, as long as the product has not been altered or misused.

Charging the Patient Lift: The FTS comes standard with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack and charging unit. Charging is accomplished by plugging the charging unit’s AC power cord into a standard AC wall power outlet. A full charge takes about eight hours. The control system will provide a beep tone when operated and batteries need to be charged. Users will average 10 or more lifts before the battery needs to be recharged (depending on weight). The FTS can be operated while plugged in. Chest and waist belts also come standard with the FTS.
