Vive Hydraulic Patient Lift for Home Use with Sling - Portable, Medical Patient Transfer Lift System - Sit to Stand Lift Assist for Elderly - Floor & Fall Elderly Lift - for Car, Wheelchair & Bed

Thanks it is heavy duty and I do recommend it

It’s very sturdy. Moved and turned about as easy as it could. It’s best if you have two people available to assemble it. Works well. The instructions are fair. There is NO instructions for the net sling. Positioning the patient on the sling is a chore, cut and try. The hydrolic pump control lever must be all the way clockwise with the lever toward the pump handle to lift the patient. You only slowly turn it away from the pump handle to lower the patient. I lifted my wife off the floor and placed her on her bed with ease. The was one bolt in the main column that was too big for the holes. I couldn’t get the bolt through the hole. Had to purchase an hex M8 x 75 bolt, washers and lock nut that worked fine. Overall it functions nice. It is very heavy. To be portable you would have to partially disassemble it and reassemble which is a chore. So it is not portable in the true sense. Price was right for the item. Thanks to the manufacturer for a fine product.

ASSEMBLY GOOD: 20 minutes Only 4 bolts to deal with - good. 2 open-end wrenches provided - good. 1 Allen wrench provided - good again. 2 persons is best- one person to hold a piece while the other person wiggles piece until bolt slips thru. (2 pieces need the 2 people). (2 women can assemble). . Arms are only 4" high- meaning easy to fit under furniture and meaning easy to position person exactly.

Product worked well. Came without sling but when company contacted they immediately responded sling being sent separately with delivery time. Also came without some nuts and bolts, but company responded timely again.

very well constructed, heavy duty.

I purchased this for in home use to help my friend. At first, I almost donated it to a local charity because it was so heavy and awkward. Then I had an incident where my friend fell. By some miracle, another friend who is a medical person happened by and knew how to use it. No one got hurt, thankfully, and it got my handicap friend up and in a chair in minutes with the help of my knowledgeable friend.. I am not donating it now. I suggest that if you do not know how to use it, have someone who does run you through it, preferably with a willing live healthy body.
