Protekt Transformer Hydraulic Lift, 400 lb
Protekt Transformer Hydraulic Transfer Lift — 400 lb, Convertible to Electric
Overview
The Protekt Transformer is a full-body floor lift that makes transfers between a bed, chair, wheelchair, or commode smooth, steady, and far easier on the caregiver. Its name says it all: it starts as a low-cost hydraulic hand-pump lift and can "transform" into a full powered electric lift whenever you're ready — add the upgrade kit later, or buy it already electric from the start. Either way, a durable powder-coated steel frame and a 400 lb capacity give a secure, stable lift.
A six-point spreader bar accepts 2-, 4-, or 6-point slings, so you can match the sling to the situation, and the base legs open and close to fit around chairs and wheelchairs. Four-inch rear casters with locking brakes and three-inch front casters keep it maneuverable, and the whole lift comes apart tool-free for quick transport in a car trunk. An optional digital scale is available for weight monitoring. Choose the configuration that fits your needs below — a sling is selected separately.
Configuration Options
- Manual (Hydraulic) — the hand-pump lift; the lowest-cost option, and upgradeable to electric later.
- Electric — pre-fitted with the electric actuator, so a hand control raises and lowers the boom.
- Electric Upgrade Kit Only — converts a hydraulic Transformer (33400H) you already own into a powered electric lift.

Equipment Specialist Insight: The "Transformer" idea is genuinely practical — start with the lower-cost hydraulic hand-pump lift, and if the manual pumping ever becomes a strain, add the electric kit later to make it a powered lift, without buying a whole new machine. If you already know you want powered operation, the electric version saves doing it in two steps. The six-point spreader bar is the flexible part: it takes 2-, 4-, or 6-point slings, so you can match a full-body, divided-leg, or mesh bathing sling to the need — and slings are chosen separately. It comes apart tool-free for a car trunk, though at around 82 lbs the pieces still have some heft, so plan for that. If regular weight checks matter, the optional digital scale is worth adding. And remember the kit-only option is specifically for upgrading a hydraulic 33400H you already own.

What does "convertible" mean here?
The lift starts as a hydraulic hand-pump model and can be upgraded to full electric later using the upgrade kit — or you can buy it already electric. The kit-only option is for upgrading a hydraulic 33400H you already own.
Is a sling included?
Slings are selected separately so you can match the style to the need — full-body, divided-leg, or mesh bathing. The six-point spreader bar fits 2-, 4-, or 6-point slings.
Can it be transported?
Yes. It comes apart tool-free for a car trunk or storage; the unit weighs about 82 lbs.
A sling is sold separately. Retail packaging and specifications may be updated by the manufacturer without notice. This is a heavy item; confirm proper sling selection and fit before lifting, ensure caregivers are trained on safe operation, and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
