Vive Hydraulic Patient Lift for Home Use with Sling - Portable, Medical

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.

This product works great for our needs. We easily moved my stepdad from the floor to a chair.

Have had this almost 2 years and it's been life changing! Super durable, easy to use and well made. Great buy!

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.

Waste of money as the lift doesn’t go down close enough to floor to be able to attached sling . Might be able to salvage if I can find sling with longer straps. Thinking about donating it to a nursing home. It is sturdy though. The hydraulics required several pumps to raise the arm. Not much travel with each pump This would be ok if transferring a person from bed to chair or vice versa but not for getting someone off the floor.

GREAT LIFT

Ease to use

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.

Thanks it is heavy duty and I do recommend it
