Patient transfer lifts designed to hoist and transfer patients and that are freestanding and can be moved between locations. They typically consist of a movable C-shaped or U-shaped support base usually including casters, a vertical mast, a pivoting boom, a swivel bar, a seat (sling or rigid), and the lifting mechanism. These lifts are manually, electrically, or battery operated using hydraulic or screw jack lifting mechanisms. Most models are also equipped with caster brakes to prevent the base from moving during the lifting process.
