Protekt Transformer Hydraulic Transfer Lift — 400 lb, Convertible to Electric
Convertible Full-Body Transfer Architecture with 400 lb Capacity, Modular Hydraulic-to-Electric Actuation, 6-Point Spreader Bar, Tool-Free Disassembly, and Adjustable Base Legs
The Protekt Transformer Hydraulic Transfer Lift by Proactive Medical provides a versatile, cost-effective full-body transfer solution designed to streamline patient movement between beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and commodes. Engineered around a 400 lb safe working load, this full-body floor lift features a smooth hydraulic hand-pump mechanism that simplifies raising and lowering. Built on a modular "Transformer" frame design, this manual hydraulic unit can easily upgrade to a fully battery-powered electric lift using an optional conversion actuator kit.
Constructed from durable powder-coated steel, the Protekt Transformer features a versatile 6-point spreader bar that accepts standard 2-point, 4-point, or 6-point loop-style slings. Manually adjustable base legs open wide to clear seating frames and narrow for doorway navigation. Designed for easy transport and storage, the 82 lb frame disassembles quickly without tools, fitting conveniently into vehicle trunks. Complete with locking 4-inch rear casters and 3-inch front casters, this lift offers long-term reliability for both home and clinical healthcare settings.

Patient Handling Specialist Insight: The Protekt Transformer is a practical choice for home caregivers and facilities seeking budget flexibility. Starting with the manual hydraulic model provides immediate assistance at a lower price point, while leaving the door open to add the battery actuator later if caregiver physical demands change. Its tool-free disassembly is also a significant advantage for families who need to transport a full-body lift between locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "convertible" mean for the Protekt Transformer Lift?
The Protekt Transformer features a modular frame structure. You can purchase the manual hydraulic model (33400H) and later attach the Electric Upgrade Kit to turn it into a battery-powered electric lift without buying an entirely new frame.
Is a patient sling included with the purchase of the Protekt Transformer?
No. Patient slings are selected separately to match specific transfer needs, such as full-body support, divided-leg positioning, or mesh material for bathing. The 6-point spreader bar accommodates standard 2-, 4-, or 6-point loop-style slings.
How easy is it to disassemble the Transformer lift for travel?
The frame features a tool-free quick-release mechanism that allows the mast and boom to separate from the base quickly. The total unit weighs roughly 82 lbs, making it manageable to load into a standard car trunk.
