Electric Patient Lift Transfer Chair for SUV: Simplified Mobility Assistance and Physical Therapy

This lift has been a godsend. My mom got an infection and stopped walking so it became impossible to get into my full size SUV (previously she used a 2 step step stool).

Using a wheelchair van service to physical therapy/doctor office was quickly adding up and the only other option was a Milford Person Lift (sling hoyer type device) which she didn't like and cost thousands of dollars to install in SUV.
Found this product on Amazon (Achairgo) and couldn't be more pleased.
Easy to operate.


No problem lifting her using the battery. Easy to adjust the bottom width with a lever to accommodate the wheelchair yet still fits thru house doorways.
Quick to fold up and place into SUV. It is heavy but less cumbersome than the wheelchair.


She found the flat seat with wooden support too uncomfortable so we use the soft toilet seat with a slide sheet (https://www.amazon.com/stores/Achairgo/page/35CC4E56-6A8F-47BA-B335-9BF789C584A7) underneath to assist in positioning her.


Note, the lift didn't reach high enough for our SUV at a 35" seat height and ended up 2.5" too short.


This is due to fixed distance from the wheelchair seat with the lift at the lowest point.


Solved problem by transferring to wheelchair and then transferring to a bench several inches higher so can shorten the straps. Takes longer but getting into a wheelchair van wasn't quick either.


Only negative is the back rest which attaches horizontally instead of vertically. The wheelchair handles are in the way until I lift her up. She can stay upright so this isn't an issue.


Customer service has been excellent too. I had several questions before spending $1300 and response was quick and thorough. Overall, solved our problem of getting into the SUV safely and at a much more reasonable cost than the alternatives.

 

It sounds like the Achairgo lift has been a real game-changer for you and your mom. To highlight its benefits for marketing purposes, you might emphasize the following points:
