ABSTRACT:
A disabled person transfer unit includes a base supporting a motor actuated rotatable platform, and a frame is mounted on the platform for pivotally supporting a pair of motor actuated lift arms which carry forearm support pads and hand grips and/or a removable seat sling. The arms pivot to pick up a person either seated or lying down, and the person may stand on the platform. The platform is rotated to transfer the person after which the arms lower the person to a new position. The base of the unit has retractable caster wheels for moving the unit and removable legs with outboard caster wheels for moving a person across the floor. A motor control box is movable to a position adjacent either of the hand grips.
