LANDING JULY 2026 – PREORDER NOW – ONLY 11 UNITS LEFT
The Hydraulic Patient Lift Chair – Sling Type is designed to support caregivers when transferring individuals with reduced mobility from one seated or lying position to another. With a 120 kg weight capacity, powder-coated Q235 steel frame, and hydraulic lifting function, this unit provides a practical transfer solution for home care, frail care, and assisted living environments.
Unlike fixed-seat transfer chairs, this sling-type model allows the user to be lifted and positioned over or into the destination area before the sling is detached using safety belt clips. This makes it especially useful for transfers where space is limited, such as moving a person into a wheelchair, armchair, toilet, or suitable vehicle seat.
The hydraulic lifting mechanism allows controlled raising and lowering, helping the caregiver position the user more comfortably and safely. The portable design also makes it suitable for use in different rooms or care areas where regular transfers are required.
Why Choose the Sling-Type Patient Lift?
Some patient transfer chairs use a fixed seat that opens and closes around the user. These can work well in certain transfer situations, but they may be less practical when the destination chair, wheelchair, or vehicle seat does not allow enough space for the seat section to open or close properly.
The sling-type design solves this problem by lifting the user in a sling. The lift can then be positioned over the wheelchair, armchair, toilet, or vehicle seat, lowered into place, and the sling can be detached once the user is safely seated. The lift can then be moved away without needing to fold a seat open around the user.
This makes the sling-type model a more suitable option for transfers where:
- Wheelchair armrests or handles obstruct a fixed transfer seat.
- A car seat does not allow enough side clearance.
- The user needs to be lowered directly into a chair or toilet position.
- The caregiver needs more flexibility when positioning the user.
- The destination seat is not compatible with a fixed-seat transfer design.
Suitable Transfer Applications
The Hydraulic Patient Lift Chair – Sling Type is ideal for assisting with transfers from:
- Bed to wheelchair
- Wheelchair to bed
- Bed to armchair
- Armchair to wheelchair
- Wheelchair to toilet
- Toilet to wheelchair
- Bed or wheelchair to a suitable vehicle seat
- General seated transfers in home care or frail care environments

Sling-Type Transfer Design
The sling design allows the user to be lifted and lowered into position without relying on a fixed seat section. This makes it more adaptable for different transfer environments, especially where there are obstacles such as armrests, handles, or vehicle door frames.
Hydraulic Lifting Function
The hydraulic lifting mechanism provides controlled lifting and lowering during transfers. This assists the caregiver with positioning the user without needing to manually lift the full body weight of the patient.
Portable Frame
The portable design makes the unit suitable for movement between rooms and transfer points, allowing it to be used where it is needed most.
Powder-Coated Steel Frame
The frame is made from Q235 steel with a powder-coated finish for durability and easier cleaning.
Waterproof Design
The unit is waterproof, making it suitable for care environments where cleaning and moisture resistance are important. Care should still be taken to follow proper cleaning and maintenance instructions.

Benefits for Caregivers
The Hydraulic Patient Lift Chair – Sling Type helps reduce the physical strain placed on caregivers during transfers. Instead of manually lifting or supporting the full weight of the user, the caregiver can use the hydraulic lifting function to assist with raising, positioning, and lowering the patient.
This can help make daily care routines more manageable, particularly where transfers need to be done repeatedly throughout the day.
Benefits for the User
For the user, the sling-type design offers a more flexible transfer method, especially where a fixed seat may not fit properly. The patient can be lifted, positioned, and lowered into the receiving chair, toilet, wheelchair, or vehicle seat with less need for awkward repositioning.
The design is particularly useful for users who have limited standing ability or who require assisted seated transfers.
Sling Type vs Fixed Seat Type
Summit Surgical also offers a fixed-seat patient transfer lift chair, which is suitable for certain seated transfers. However, a fixed-seat model may not be ideal in every transfer situation.
The sling-type model is often better suited when transferring a person into a car, wheelchair, armchair, or toilet because the sling can be detached after the user has been lowered into place. This avoids the problem of needing space for a fixed seat to fold open or close around the user.
| Feature | Sling Type Lift Chair | Fixed Seat Transfer Chair |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer into wheelchair | More flexible where armrests are in the way | May be restricted by wheelchair frame |
| Transfer into armchair | More adaptable | May require side clearance |
| Transfer into car | More suitable, depending on vehicle access | Often difficult due to limited space |
| Transfer to toilet | Suitable when positioned correctly | May be suitable depending on toilet layout |
| Seat removal after transfer | Sling can be detached | Fixed seat must open/close |
| Best for | Flexible transfer positioning | Direct seated transfers where space allows |
