FTS Features/Functionality:
Seated Lifts
The IndeeLift FTS is primarily designed to raise a seated person from the floor, or any level above the
floor, to a height that allows the user to stand directly up or to be transferred as required.
For those who are able to walk away once they are on their feet, the FTS lifts the user to a seated level
and then, as the lifting continues, the seat tilts forward allowing the transfer of the
user’s
weight to their
legs at a comfortable level as dictated by the height of the specific user. The FTS has been designed and
tested to work with individuals of any height up to 6’
5.
For users with less mobility, the transfer directly to a wheelchair or power chair is accomplished by
raising the seat height to about
21” (53
cm), 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) above the destination seat for gravity-
assisted-lift-free transfers from most seated.
Use as a Standing Lift
A secondary function of the FTS is to provide lift assistance to a standing person needing a little lift to
access a bed, exam table or other place that the user is unable to negotiate that requires the patent to
be raised above the floor.
The FTS provides users a method to be lifted while standing, to a safe level 12-14 inches from the floor.
This application can assist the user onto a bed that may be the perfect height to get up from but too tall
for the user get up onto. This function can also assist where single or dual step level changes may need
to be overcome in the care environment.
When using the FTS for a standing lift, the seat locks MUST be engaged to keep the
platform from rotating forward during the lifting process. Never lift a standing patient with the seat locks
disengaged!!!
This product this lift will lift a person beyond the safe distance of 12 to 14 inches from
the floor! It is the responsibility of the provider to ensure that the patient is not lifted above a safe height of 14
inches from the floor!!!
Small Footprint and Easy Portability
The FTS is a portable lift that is rolled around on wheels like a traditional dolly. The small footprint allows
it to be positioned in many places other lifts simply cannot go. With a turning radius of 34
”
(86 cm), the
FTS can go just about anywhere a patient may be found in the care environment.
Mounting Ramp Seat-Tilt
The FTS patented design includes a mounting ramp seat that eliminates the need to ever "lift" a person
manually and a tracking function that allows the seat to shift forward as the user is lifted and shifting
their weight onto their legs. The FTS seat plate can either be locked in a stationary position or unlocked
to allow the seat plate to rotate forward to allow a user to get to a standing position. Two locking tabs
are located at the rear of the seat plate, one on each side of the main vertical column.
Wired Remote
The wired remote has a 10
’ (
3m) retractable cord, allowing the provider to operate the lift while
assisting the patient with balance or confidence. The wired remote has physical, easy-operate button
controls that indicate the up and down functionality. The wired remote is stored on the FTS
’s handle
