Freeway SA180C Compact Stand Aid

Freeway SA180C Compact Standing Aid

The Freeway SA180C Compact Standing Aid is a robust and practical mobility solution designed to support safe, controlled sit-to-stand transfers for individuals with reduced mobility. Built for reliability and ease of use, this compact standing aid is well suited to both professional healthcare environments and private home settings where safe manual handling is essential.

With a generous safe working load of 180 kg, the SA180C offers dependable support for a wide range of users. Its durable powder-coated steel frame provides exceptional strength and long-term structural integrity, ensuring consistent performance in demanding care routines. The solid construction inspires confidence for both the user and caregiver, helping to minimise risk during everyday transfers.

At the core of the SA180C is the trusted Linak® powered control system, delivering smooth and controlled lifting action. The intuitive handset operation enables caregivers to gently guide the user from a seated to a standing position in a natural, forward-and-upward motion. This controlled movement reduces strain on both the user and the caregiver, promoting safer manual handling practices and improving overall comfort during transfers.

The stand aid is designed to support the lower back, legs, and feet throughout the entire lifting process. By encouraging a natural standing pattern, it helps maintain user stability and promotes confidence during assisted transfers. The adjustable lifting arm further enhances comfort by reducing pressure beneath the arms, allowing the equipment to be tailored to individual requirements.

With an overall height of under 980 mm, the SA180C is particularly well suited for environments where space is limited. Its compact design enables easy manoeuvrability around furniture and through doorways, making it an excellent choice for care homes, hospital wards, and domestic properties alike. Smooth-running castors support effortless positioning, while secure braking systems ensure stability during operation.

Safety remains a central focus of the SA180C’s design. The unit incorporates an emergency stop function along with both manual and automatic lowering capabilities, providing reassurance in the event of power interruption or unexpected situations. These integrated safeguards contribute to a secure and dependable transfer solution that aligns with professional care standards.

The Freeway SA180C Compact Standing Aid offers an effective combination of strength, comfort, and manoeuvrability. Its compact footprint, powerful lifting system, and user-centred design make it an excellent investment for facilities and families seeking a reliable sit-to-stand solution that prioritises safety, durability, and ease of use.
