A mobile floor lift is similar to a Hoyer lift as it rolls on the floor, has long legs that extend around the wheelchair or under the bed. It has a boom arm that extends over your head and holds a sling on a spreader bar. The spreader bar is designed to keep the sling comfortably away from your face and head.  The mobile floor lift is operated either with a hydraulic lift or a battery powered lift. We highly recommend the battery power electric lift mechanism as it is smooth and easy to use versus the hydraulic lift.

Mobile floor lifts are ideal for a single bedroom with a hard wood or solid floor.  It is designed for a hospital or institutional environment.  The challenge is that it doesn’t operate well in a small room like a bathroom as it is usually 4 feet or more long, and the legs cannot go under at bathtub/shower or around a toilet.  It is designed to transfer from bed to chair on a hard surface.  Please see our other lift options for transfers outside the bedroom.
