A floor lift, often referred to as a patient lift or hoist, is a device used to assist in the safe transfer of individuals with limited mobility from one location to another, such as from a bed to a wheelchair or from a chair to a toilet. These lifts typically consist of a wheeled base, a hydraulic or electric lifting mechanism, and a sling or harness that supports the individual during the transfer. Floor lifts are commonly used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes, as well as in private homes to aid caregivers in safely managing patient mobility.
