Powered by a durable electric actuator, the SA228 delivers smooth and consistent lifting with minimal caregiver effort. Its 500 lb capacity supports a wider range of users while maintaining stability and control during transfers.
The T-bar lifting system provides a stable lifting arc and is designed for use with compatible standing slings.
