Product Description

MiniLift160 Classic – The Ultimate Sit-to-Stand Lift for Comfort and Support

The MiniLift160 Classic is a premium mobile sit-to-stand lift designed to provide safe, comfortable, and ergonomic support during sit-to-stand transfers. Developed with both user and caregiver needs in mind, this lift encourages natural movement, engages key muscle groups, and enhances balance during transfers, making it an ideal solution for professional care environments, hospitals, and home use. Its thoughtful engineering combines functionality, safety, and comfort into a single, versatile mobility aid.


Exceptional Comfort and Ergonomics
A primary focus of the MiniLift160 Classic is user comfort. The lift is designed to support the feet, lower legs, and back, promoting a smooth, natural sit-to-stand transition. Soft, padded leg supports and a low, anti-slip footplate help stabilize the user while encouraging active engagement of core muscles. By maintaining proper alignment and support, the lift reduces the risk of discomfort, fatigue, or strain, allowing users to transfer with dignity and ease.

Compact and Easy to Maneuver
Despite its robust construction, the MiniLift160 Classic features a compact footprint, making it highly maneuverable in confined spaces such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and narrow corridors. Lockable rear castors provide precise control, ensuring safe operation during positioning and movement. Caregivers benefit from its lightweight, agile design, which allows for efficient, secure transfers with minimal physical strain.

User-Friendly Controls and Operation
The lift is equipped with an ergonomic four-button hand control, allowing users or caregivers to operate the lift intuitively. Its responsive electrical system ensures smooth lifting and lowering, while an advanced safety system—including an electrical emergency stop, diagnostic control box, and overload indicator—delivers peace of mind and dependable performance in demanding care environments.

Durable and Reliable Construction
Built with a strong steel frame, the MiniLift160 Classic is engineered to withstand daily use in both clinical and domestic care settings. It supports users up to 160 kg (352 lbs), providing a durable, long-lasting solution for patient handling. Its high-quality materials and precision engineering ensure that it remains a dependable, low-maintenance tool for years to come.

Compatibility with Accessories
The MiniLift160 Classic is compatible with SystemRoMedic accessories, offering additional versatility for enhanced patient support:

  • ThoraxSling: A specialised sit-to-stand vest providing extra upper body support.

  • CalfStrap: Offers additional calf support, enhancing stability during transfers.

These accessories extend the lift’s usability for a wide range of user needs, accommodating varying mobility levels and physical requirements.

Safety and Compliance
The MiniLift160 Classic meets the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC (Class 1), ensuring it adheres to stringent safety and regulatory standards. Its advanced safety features and robust design deliver a secure transfer experience, helping caregivers manage patients confidently while promoting independence and reducing the risk of injury.

Applications and Benefits
The MiniLift160 Classic is suitable for hospitals, care homes, assisted living, and home environments. It empowers users to perform sit-to-stand transfers safely and confidently, reducing reliance on caregiver lifting. For caregivers, the lift minimizes physical strain, supports correct handling techniques, and improves efficiency in patient transfers. This combination of safety, comfort, and functionality makes it an invaluable aid in modern patient care.

Conclusion
The MiniLift160 Classic stands out as a premier sit-to-stand lift, offering superior comfort, reliability, and safety. By promoting natural movement and supporting active participation, it enhances user independence while easing the workload for caregivers.

Product FAQs

What is the SWL of the DHG Minilift 160?
The MiniLift160 Classic is designed to safely lift users weighing up to 160 kg (352 lbs). Exceeding this limit can compromise the structural integrity of the lift and the safety of the user.
How does the DHG Minilift 160 work?
Unlike traditional lifts that pull a user straight up, the MiniLift160 moves the user forward and upward. This simulates the natural ergonomic path the body takes when standing up independently, which is more comfortable and encourages active participation from the user.
Which slings are compatible with the MiniLift160?
It is specifically designed for use with ThoraxSling models. These come in various sizes and materials, including:

ThoraxSling (with or without seat support)

ThoraxSling Silhouette (for delicate users or those requiring more flexibility)
Is the MiniLift160 suitable for gait training?
No, The MiniLift160 is strictly a sit-to-stand aid. It is not designed for walking practice or long-distance transport. For gait training, a dedicated ceiling hoist or a specialized walking mobile lift is recommended.
Can it be used for transfers to and from a toilet?
Yes, because the ThoraxSling leaves the lower body mostly unobstructed, the MiniLift160 is an excellent tool for bathroom transfers, allowing for easy clothing adjustment and hygiene care.
Does it require a lot of space to operate?
The MiniLift160 is valued for its compact footprint. However, it features electrically adjustable chassis legs that can be opened to fit around wide armchairs or wheelchairs, and closed for navigating through narrow doorways.
How do I charge the battery?
A rechargeable battery pack powers the lift. It should be plugged into a standard wall outlet via the hand control or the control box when not in use.

Pro Tip: For high-use environments, keep a spare battery on an external wall charger to ensure zero downtime.
What safety features are included?
The MiniLift160 is equipped with:

- Emergency Stop: A prominent red button on the control box.

- Emergency Lowering: Manual or electrical overrides to safely lower the user in the event of a power failure.

- Grip Bars: Ergonomic handles for the user to hold onto during the lift.
Who is the ideal candidate for this lift?
The user must be able to:

Follow instructions.

Provide some level of weight-bearing through their legs.

Maintain good upper body stability (with the help of the sling).
How often does it need servicing?
To remain compliant with safety regulations (like LOLER in the UK or similar ISO standards), the lift should undergo a thorough inspection and load test at least once every 6 months. Daily visual checks of the sling and lift arms are also highly recommended.
How much does a MiniLift 160 Classic Stand Aid cost?
United Kingdom: Typically ranges from £1,750 to £3,600 (excluding VAT). In the UK, individuals with chronic illnesses or disabilities may qualify for VAT relief, saving 20% on the total cost.
