This product contains moving parts where hands or feet could be injured if they are in an

platform and the floor or between the seat platform and any obstruction located above the seat platform level, that when
contacted, could cause Minor or Serious Injury.
HFL-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 6’4.
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), which allows a height difference of 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) for lift-free transfers from most
seated positions or whatever height will allow a gravity-assisted transfer.
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 or
some tall cabinets or the shelf in the closet at home or the office.
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 home
or office.
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 including most small bathrooms and hallways.
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. A
user on the floor either scoots onto the lift using the front ramp or they can tilt up onto the seat. 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 5
’ (
1.5m) retractable cord, allowing the user or a helper to operate the lift. 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
s with the hanger clip.
