BestLift SA182H Manual Hydraulic Sit-to-Stand Patient Lift — 400 lb Capacity
Compact Manual Hydraulic Sit-to-Stand Elevation Architecture with 400 lb Safe Working Load, 35.4″ to 61.0″ Lifting Range, Adjustable Knee Cushion with Support Strap, Removable Footplate, and Tool-Free Assembly
The BestLift SA182H is a practical, non-electric manual hydraulic sit-to-stand patient lift engineered to assist individuals with partial weight-bearing capability during standing transfers. Featuring the same compact structural framing and 400 lb weight capacity as electric models, the SA182H provides a reliable, budget-conscious transfer solution for both home caregivers and care facilities operating in tight residential spaces.
Designed for smooth, controlled transfers without requiring battery charging or electrical outlets, the lift's high-performance manual hydraulic fluid cylinder enables caregivers to elevate users comfortably across a broad 35.4-inch to 61.0-inch elevation range. It incorporates an 11.8-inch wide cushioned knee pad with height adjustment (18.1″ to 22.4″) and an integrated leg support strap for added leg stability. With base legs that adjust from 26.4 inches closed to 38.9 inches open, a removable footplate, rear locking casters, and tool-free disassembly for easy transport, the SA182H connects seamlessly with most standard stand-assist slings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which patients are suitable candidates for the BestLift SA182H?
The SA182H is designed for individuals weighing up to 400 lbs who possess partial weight-bearing capability in their legs and upper-body strength to hold onto the handles during standing. Completely non-weight-bearing patients require a passive full-body sling lift.
How does this hydraulic model compare to the electric SA400 models?
The SA182H uses a manual hydraulic pump handle to raise the patient, offering a cost-effective, non-electric alternative to the motorized SA400 and SA400HE models without requiring battery power.
Are transfer slings included with the SA182H 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.
