The era of lifting patients manually is over. The Span America fixed ceiling lift was designed from the ground up for simplicity and purpose. It’s thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the patient and the caregiver. We looked at everything, and knew that we could make a better product by looking at the details and questioning ourselves on how to improve everything we could. Hearing that lifts are not reliable and ready to use is most often due to the old technology of lead acid batteries.
- More lift cycles: delivers 50% more lift cycles/charge than industry average
- Less charging time: recharges from full depletion in only 2 hours
- Fewer replacements: battery replacement estimated at every 5 years
- More reliable: fewer service calls for dead batteries
- Greener: no lead acid disposal issues and longer life of battery
- No memory effect: battery does not deteriorate from constant charging
- Power: fast lift speed even at maximum capacity lifting weight
