Indee Lift Full Floor to Stand Patient Lift, FTS-400, 400 lbs capacity (400 lbs Capacity)

Personal Human Floor Lifts (HFL’s)

Personal Human floor lifts are designed to lift people from the floor to a to a normal chair height, allowing them to stand or transfer with the least amount of effort.

The IndeeLift family of HFL’s are designed to meet the recommendations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The raised-seat height is based on the need to stand with minimal effort for the mobility challenged, whether elderly, disabled, injured or in rehabilitation. Direct transfer is accomplished by setting the seat 1-2 inches above the wheelchair allowing lift-free sliding on to most wheelchairs.

HFL Features/Functionality:

Seated Lifts

The IndeeLift FTS is primarily designed to raise a seated person from the floor, or any level above the floor, to a height that allows the user to stand directly up or to be transferred as required.

For those who are able to walk away once they are on their feet, the FTS lifts the user to a seated level and then, 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 wheelchair or power chair is accomplished by raising the seat height to about 21” (53 cm), which allows a height difference of 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) for lift-free transfers from most seated positions or whatever height will allow a gravity-assisted transfer.

Use as a Standing Lift

A secondary function of the FTS is to provide lift assistance to a standing person needing a little lift to access a bed or some tall cabinets or the shelf in the closet at home or the office.

The FTS provides users a method to be lifted while standing, to a safe level 12-14 inches from the floor. This application can assist the user onto a bed that may be the perfect height to get up from but too tall for the user get up onto. This function can also assist where single or dual step level changes may need to be overcome in the home or office.

Small Footprint and Easy Portability

The FTS is a portable lift 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” (86 cm), the FTS can go just about anywhere including most small bathrooms and hallways.

Mounting Ramp Seat-Tilt

The FTS patented design includes a mounting ramp seat that eliminates the need to ever “lift” a person manually and 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.

Wired Remote

The wired remote has a 5’ (1.5m) retractable cord, allowing the user or a helper to operate the lift. The wired remote has physical, easy-operate button controls that indicate the up and down functionality. The wired remote is stored on the FTS’s handles with the hanger clip.

Adjustable and/or Removable Rise-Assist Handles

The rise-assist handles have been engineered to provide leverage for the seated party to assist in the process of standing once they are up from the floor. The arms can swing away from the seat when needed. They are also removable to allow for mount assistance or a direct transfer to a wheelchair or other destination.

Rechargeable Battery

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, (see Preparing the HFL- 400-FTS for use on Page 8). A full charge takes about eight hours. The control system will provide a beep tone when operated and batteries are in need of being charged.
