Not all patients need assistance, but for those who do have trouble getting on and off
a height adjusting exam table, various kinds of equipment can help. Here are a few types
of patient lifts to improve safety of the patient and staff.

• Portable floor lifts can be moved from room to room. A low height, adjustable width base can be positioned closer to the exam table and allow for easier transit and storage.
• Ceiling mounted lifts are permanently attached to the ceiling of the examination room and will move along tracks on the ceiling. While permanent, this is an option if the room has limited floor space.
• Free standing overhead lifts include an overhead track that is nonpermanent offering a good solution when overhead installation is not feasible.
