How to choose a sit-to-stand lift

Start with the person, not the lift. A sit-to-stand lift is right when the user can bear weight on at least one leg, has some upper-body and trunk control and can follow simple instructions. If they cannot, they need a full-body patient lift. A physical therapist or nurse can confirm which one fits.

Five checks before you buy

  • Capacity: pick a lift rated comfortably above the user's weight. Bestcare offers the same design at 400, 500 and 600 lb.
  • Power: electric lifts save the caregiver effort on daily transfers. Hydraulic models cost less and never need charging.
  • Slings: use a standing sling for everyday transfers and a toileting sling for bathroom trips. Check the sling is made for your lift.
  • Base and space: measure doorways, the bathroom and the gap around the bed or chair. Adjustable-width bases open around wheelchairs and commodes.
  • Knee pad and scale: an adjustable knee pad fits a wider range of heights. A built-in scale, like on the Hoyer Elevate, lets you weigh the user during transfers.

Sit-to-Stand Lifts: frequently asked questions

What is a sit-to-stand lift?

A sit-to-stand lift, also called a stand assist or standing aid, helps a person rise from sitting to standing and move short distances with one caregiver. The user holds the handles, rests their shins against a knee pad and is supported by a sling around the back.

Who should not use a sit-to-stand lift?

Someone who cannot bear any weight on their legs, has poor trunk control or cannot follow simple instructions should use a full-body patient lift instead. Ask the user's therapist or nurse to assess them first.

Should I choose a hydraulic or electric sit-to-stand lift?

Hydraulic lifts, from about $1,184, are raised with a pump handle and never need charging. Battery-powered electric lifts, from about $1,797, lift at the push of a button, which is easier for caregivers doing several transfers a day. Some Bestcare hydraulic models can be upgraded to electric later.

What weight capacity do sit-to-stand lifts have?

The lifts in this collection are rated from 340 lb to 600 lb. For heavier users, the Bestcare SA600 and Lumex LF2090 are both rated to 600 lb.

What sling do I need for a sit-to-stand lift?

Most users need a standing sling for everyday transfers, and many families add a toileting sling for bathroom trips. Slings are sized by the user's body, so check the size chart and choose a sling made for your lift brand.
