Arjo Sara Plus Powered Patient Lift - Ergonomic Transfer Aid with Curved Mast
Arjo Sara Plus Powered Sit-to-Stand Patient Lift — 420 lb Capacity
Motorized Sit-to-Stand Elevation Architecture with 420 lb Capacity, Patented Curved Mast Design, Ergonomic Forearm Support Platforms, Width-Adjustable Low-Clearance Chassis, and Optional Integrated Digital Scale
The Arjo Sara Plus Powered Patient Lift (Models: HEP0001-US & HEP1001-US) is an advanced motorized standing and transfer aid engineered to elevate sit-to-stand transitions and mobility retraining. Designed for individuals who possess partial weight-bearing capabilities, the Sara Plus lifts patients smoothly in one natural arc motion, eliminating manual lifting for caregivers while encouraging active patient physical engagement. Its innovative curved mast architecture mimics natural body biomechanics during standing, reducing shear forces and maximizing user comfort during transfers between beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and commodes.
Built to support a 420 lb safe working load, the Sara Plus combines superior patient stability with ergonomic caregiver controls. Patients rest their feet on a high-traction, ribbed foot platform while their shins align against an ergonomically shaped resistance panel. Curved support handles equipped with finger depressions and integrated forearm platforms provide users with a reassuring sense of control. Featuring a remote-controlled width-adjustable chassis with a low 4.6-inch under-bed clearance, the lift navigates effortlessly around furniture. The optional scale model (HEP1001-US) incorporates a built-in digital weighing scale up to 308 lbs, displaying instant readings directly on the hand pendant control.
Key Features & Benefits
- Biomechanical Curved Mast Elevation: Patented arc lifting trajectory replicates natural body standing movement, improving comfort and reducing strain on hips and lower back.
- Full Electric Remote Operation: Dual hand pendant and mast controls enable one-handed motorized elevation and chassis adjustments without caregiver manual lifting.
- Ergonomic Forearm Platforms & Handles: Padded arm platforms and contoured hand grips give patients superior upper-body support and stability throughout the transfer.
- Low-Clearance Width-Adjustable Chassis: Power-adjustable base legs expand from 25.37″ closed to 39.5″ open, while a low 4.6″ profile slides easily beneath low beds and seating.
- Anatomical Shin Panel & Slip-Resistant Footrest: Ergonomic knee/shin support panel allows active leg pushing, complemented by a ribbed, high-grip footplate for traction.
- Optional Integrated Weighing Scale (HEP1001-US): Built-in digital scale weighs patients up to 308 lbs during routine transfers, displaying metrics directly on the remote control.
- Mobility Retraining & Rehabilitation Tool: Ideal for gait exercise, weight-bearing practice, and active sit-to-stand rehabilitation protocols.
Patient Handling & Rehabilitation Specialist Insight: The defining feature of the Arjo Sara Plus is its patented curved mast. Traditional straight-column sit-to-stand lifts pull patients upward vertically, which can feel unnatural and cause shoulder strain. The Sara Plus's arc motion moves the patient forward and upward simultaneously—matching natural hip rotation. Combined with the padded forearm rests, it allows patients who are anxious during transfers to feel secure and balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between the HEP0001-US and HEP1001-US models?
The HEP0001-US is the standard powered sit-to-stand lift. The HEP1001-US includes a built-in digital weighing scale with a capacity of 308 lbs, allowing clinical staff to weigh patients effortlessly during routine standing transfers with readout display on the hand control.
Which patients are suitable candidates for the Arjo Sara Plus?
The Sara Plus is designed for patients who possess partial weight-bearing capacity and can support themselves partially using their legs and upper body. It is an exceptional tool for standing exercises and rehabilitation. Fully non-weight-bearing patients require a total-body passive sling lift.
Are slings included with the Sara Plus lift?
No, patient slings are sold separately to ensure the correct size, material, and support type (such as standing or transfer slings) are selected for the individual user's specific clinical requirements.
