Liko Introduces Free Standing, Entry Level Overhead Patient Lifting System

New System by Liko (liko.com) Offers Cost-Effectiveness and Simplicity of Installation

Franklin, MA (PRWEB) May 22, 2006 -- Liko, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of patient lifts, has introduced an entry level overhead patient lifting system designed specifically to provide users with a quick, convenient, cost-effective overhead lifting alternative.

Designated “FreeStand,” the system is designed in particular to meet the need for entry level, short-term, or temporary lifting requirements. These requirements are often encountered in home care as well as certain institutional overhead patient lifting applications.

FreeStand systems require virtually no structural support from walls or ceilings and can be quickly and easily disassembled for transfer to another location. The upright columns rest directly on the floor, simplifying installation and reducing expenses. Overhead rail lengths can range from 6’6” to 10’6” to accommodate various room sizes and patient needs, and built-in extension arms can be locked against nearby walls for extra lateral stability. The unit’s battery-powered lifting mechanism has a maximum capacity of 440 lbs.

FreeStand further extends Liko’s broad range of overhead lifting capabilities by offering users time-proven components at a lower price point. For more information on Liko’s FreeStand overhead patient lifting systems or accessories, call 1-888-545-6671 or visit www.liko.com
