Thresholds, unlevel floor surfaces, various obstacles, and extra-thick carpets. These environments and conditions can cause the
wheels of the mobile lift not to roll as intended, possible imbalance in the mobile lift, and increased exertion by the caregiver. If
you are uncertain that your care environment fulfils the requirements for correct use of the mobile lift, please contact your Hill-
Rom representative for further advice and assistance.
