Maneuverability / Portability
The PL182 is built for tight environments where larger lifts may be difficult to use. Its compact footprint and low base height allow it to fit under many beds and furniture, while smooth-rolling casters support easy positioning during transfers.
The manually adjustable base opens for stability and closes for navigating doorways and narrow spaces.
Support / Performance
Powered by a reliable electric actuator, the PL182 delivers smooth, controlled lifting with minimal caregiver effort. The 400 lb capacity supports a wide range of users while maintaining consistent and predictable performance.
Its lifting range supports transfers from beds, chairs, and floor-level recovery scenarios in everyday care routines.
Comfort / Usability
The multi-point spreader bar helps distribute weight evenly for improved comfort and stability during transfers. Simple hand controls allow caregivers to maintain close supervision while operating the lift.
Design & Convenience
Designed for practical daily use, the PL182 offers a balance of durability, compact sizing, and ease of operation. Optional accessories such as a spare battery or scale can expand functionality as needs grow.
