Med-Mizer Med-Riser 450 Folding Electric Lift, 450 lb
Med-Mizer Med-Riser 450 Folding Electric Patient Lift — Powered Base, 450 lb
Overview
The Med-Mizer Med-Riser 450 is a full-electric full-body lift that powers both the lift and the base — the boom raises and lowers under electric control, and the base legs open and close with a button rather than a foot pedal, so a caregiver's hands stay on the person and the transfer stays steady. With a 450 lb capacity and dual control access — a handheld pendant plus an onboard control box — it's quick and convenient to operate, and stays usable in an emergency or a power interruption.
What sets the Med-Riser 450 apart is that it folds. A tool-less folding design lets it collapse for easy transport between rooms and compact storage in a closet when it's not in use — without giving up the durability of a heavy-duty electric lift. That combination makes it a genuinely practical choice for home caregivers and for facilities working with limited space. A sling is selected separately.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Two features make this one worth a closer look. The powered base is the first — most floor lifts open and close the legs with a foot pedal, which means bending down mid-transfer; here it's a button, so the caregiver can keep both hands on the person and their eyes on the move. The second is the fold: a full-electric lift that collapses tool-free and tucks into a closet is unusual, and it's the deciding factor if the lift shares space with the rest of a room or has to travel between rooms and homes. The dual controls — pendant and onboard box — are a nice touch for redundancy, so operation continues even if one is out of reach. Slings are chosen separately, so match both the style (full-body, divided-leg, commode, or bathing) and the size to the person, and confirm the sling's own weight rating. It ships as a freight item; plan for setup.

What does "powered base" mean?
The base legs open and close by motor rather than a foot pedal, so the caregiver can keep both hands on the person during a transfer instead of bending down to adjust the legs.
Does it really fold for storage?
Yes — it uses a tool-less folding design, so it collapses to move between rooms or tuck into a closet when it's not in use, without giving up heavy-duty construction.
Is a sling included?
No — a sling is selected separately so you can match the style (full-body, divided-leg, commode, or bathing) and the size to the need. Confirm the sling's weight rating as well.
A sling is sold separately. Retail packaging and specifications may be updated by the manufacturer without notice. This is a heavy item; ensure proper sling selection, fit, and weight rating, train caregivers on safe operation, and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
