Compact Powered Sit-to-Stand Elevation Architecture with 400 lb Safe Working Load, 35.4″ to 61.0″ Lifting Range, Wide Knee Support with Safety Strap, Removable Footplate, and Tool-Free Assembly
The BestLift SA182 is a compact, electric sit-to-stand patient lift engineered to assist individuals with partial weight-bearing capability during standing transfers. Featuring a lightweight, maneuverable frame and smooth motorized elevation, this electric lift safely supports user capacities up to 400 lbs while navigating tight residential bedrooms, bathrooms, and assisted living quarters with ease.
Designed to reduce physical strain for caregivers, the SA182 raises and lowers smoothly via an intuitive hand control pendant, offering a broad lifting range from 35.4 inches to 61.0 inches. It features an 11.8-inch wide padded knee cushion with vertical height adjustment (18.1″ to 22.4″), a dedicated leg support strap, and a removable footplate for flexible positioning during standing transfers or active rehabilitation. With base legs that adjust from 26.4 inches to 38.9 inches to clear armchairs and wheelchairs, supported by 4-inch rear locking casters and tool-free maintenance assembly, the SA182 connects seamlessly with most standard standing slings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which patients are suitable candidates for the BestLift SA182?
The SA182 is designed for individuals who possess partial weight-bearing capability in their legs and upper-body strength to grasp the handles during standing. Completely non-weight-bearing patients require a passive full-body sling lift.
How does this model compare to the manual hydraulic SA182H?
The SA182 is a fully electric model powered by a rechargeable motor and hand control pendant, whereas the SA182H relies on a manual hydraulic pump handle to elevate the patient without electricity.
Are transfer slings included with the SA182 lift?
No, standing slings are sold separately so caregivers can choose the precise size, padding level, and support style tailored to the user's specific physical requirements.
