Excellent Product - does it all including lifting off floor
While not its intended purpose, we primarily purchased this to help when my 82 year old 225lb father slips to floor, and too weak to get up.  It is perfect for this.  I can't recommend highly enough reading the review by Daniel M. Hart that has many good pointers on this subject.<br /><br />Very solid construction, easy to assemble and use, although you will benefit from watching some YouTube videos on how to use this type of lift - a Hoyer lift.<br /><br />Finally, I read all the reviews, and the few negative ones - I felt were without merit.  About being too heavy to assemble, I do understand this, but the weight is clearly marked.  It is indeed heavy.  About the hydraulic lift slowly gong down - there is a switch that prevents this, and I suspect that user did not realize it has to be flipped to prevent this.<br /><br />Finally, seller service was excellent, as a small screw as missing, the thumb screw for lock a bar into place.  Not essential, and I could have easily bought, but they promptly send.<br /><br />Great product, and highly recommend.
