IndeeLift Residential Use Human Floor Lift

IndeeLift Residential Use Human Floor Lift

The Human Floor Lift (HFL) is designed to help people in their homes or care facilities get up from the floor with or without assistance from others. The patented HFL can be self-operated or assist-operated with the help of a companion or care giver. IndeeLift safely lifts individuals from the floor without further injury to the fallen or any helper/caregiver.

The Human Floor Lift is a purpose-built appliance that comes in two capacities and two configurations. The HFL-300 will support a person up to 300 pounds (136 kg). The HFL-400 will support a person up to 400 pounds (180 kg). The HFL is a self-contained lift intended for use by ambulatory individuals that can sit on and get up from a normal chair; those who might lose their balance and fall or stumble once and a while and need help getting up from the floor.

The HFL-300/400-D option includes a pair of assistive safety belts and mounting hardware. The 300/400-D option is provided to assist those with greater mobility issues. The pair of safety belts can be configured to assist those with muscular disorders and other lower extremity issues that require assistance in normal sitting and transferring situations; those who would benefit from being supported by assistive belts while on and operating the IndeeLift.

A person living alone, places the HFL in a central location in the home and instead of scooting or crawling to the phone to call for assistance they move to the Human floor lift, slide or tilt themselves onto the seat, push the up button and less than a minute later they are up from the floor without any outside assistance. The fallen person gets right back up and gets to move on with their day without having to call for help from family, neighbors or emergency services personnel. When assistance is available, a companion or caregiver can roll the HFL right to the location of the fall and assist with mounting or raising if that is helpful.

The HFL is similar to a household vacuum to move around, even the smallest individual can assist anyone up from the floor because the IndeeLift does all of the work. These lifts are designed to allow mobility challenged individuals greater independence by turning a very difficult and dangerous situation into a non-event and allowing one to continue on with their day after a fall without calling on family, friends, neighbors or emergency services personnel just to get up from the floor while suffering the indignity and pain associated with recovering from falls without the IndeeLift!

The Human Floor Lift truly helps mobility challenged individuals regain and maintain their independence, privacy and dignity by allowing them to safely get up from the floor without outside assistance.

Personal Human Floor Lifts (HFL’s)

Personal Human floor lifts are designed to lift people from the floor to a to a normal chair height, allowing them to stand or transfer with the least amount of effort.

The IndeeLift family of HFL’s are designed to meet the recommendations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The raised-seat height is based on the need to stand with minimal effort for the mobility challenged, whether elderly, disabled, injured or in rehabilitation. Direct transfer is accomplished by setting the seat 1-2 inches above the wheelchair allowing lift-free sliding on to most wheelchairs.

HFL Features/Functionality

The HFL will lift a person to it’s rated capacity from the floor to a position seated at the height of a standard chair. With the maximum height of 21 inches (54 cm) with rise-assist handle grips, the HFL allows just about anyone using it to stand with the absolute least expended energy and load on the extremities. The HFL is designed to be mobile and is easily rolled to any place in the home. It’s compact nature allows it to be stored in typical closet like you would a vacuum. Whether a fall occurs in the hallway, a bedroom, bathroom or a living room, this appliance can be easily rolled over to the person who has fallen for immediate assistance getting up from the floor.

Small Footprint and Easy Portability

The HFL is a portable lift that is rolled around similar to your average vacuum. The small footprint allows it to be positioned in many places other lifts simply cannot go. With a small radius, the HFL can go just about anywhere including most residential and all ADA accessible bathrooms.

Mounting Ramp Seat

The HFL patented design includes a mounting ramp seat that eliminates the need to ever “lift” manually. With no complex cradles or harnesses to configure, the HFL allows fall recovery to be simple and quick. A person who has fallen can be up from the floor to a normal seating position within moments.

Wired Remote

The wired remote has a 6’ (2m) retractile cord allowing the fallen individual to “self-operate” the lift or a caregiver to operate the lift while assisting the care recipient onto the lift as necessary. The wired remote has graphics indicating the up and down functionality. The wired remote is stored on the handle with the hanger clip.

Power Supply

The HFL-300 comes standard with a lithium ion battery pack and an AC charger with cord that can be plugged into any standard 110V US and 240V EU outlet.

The Problem

Mom and Dad live together and one of them starts to fall and is unable to get up on their own. As they age together Mom and Dad are not able to pick each other up. When one of them falls they have to get help from outside of the home. Family, neighbors, friends and emergency services aka the fire department have to be called for assistance. Sometime later, help arrives to pick the fallen person up from the floor. Many times the fallen are injured more by lifting them than from the actual fall. More often than not, more than one strong person is required to get the fallen up. This process can take a long time leaving the fallen uncomfortably stuck.

Individuals living at home alone or “aging in place” have few good options when they have fallen and need help getting up. Friends, relatives, and neighbors can become overburdened with requests and a call to emergency services can result in a loss of privacy and personal dignity. It is also common for helpers to become injured while assisting the fallen individual.

The Solution

“The Human Floor Lift” or HFL was designed to lift a person safely from the floor without causing injury to a caregiver or the person needing help.

With the HFL, after a fall, mom, dad or a helper rolls the IndeeLift directly over to whoever has fallen, who then scoots onto the seat. Either party activates the lift and a minute later whoever was on the floor is now sitting comfortably, able to take their time recovering from the fall before attempting to stand or transfer to a wheel chair.

Independence, privacy and dignity are maintained along without having to bother anyone else with such a personal issue! The IndeeLift HFL turns what is often a harrowing, drawn-out and horribly uncomfortable experience into a private easily-recoverable non-event!
