Handicare MiniLift160EE low-leg sit-to-stand lift 60300013

Item 60300013 is the low-leg MiniLift160EE. Savaria rates it at 350 lb (160 kg). The person has to support their own weight while standing and follow instructions. It is for short indoor transfers on a level floor, not for the shower and not for moving someone down a hall.

Who is this code for?

• A person up to 350 lb who can stand and take part in the move.
• Low front casters, for a lower bed. The standard-leg 160 codes are 60300010 and 60300012.
• Not the MiniLift200. That code is 401100334 and it stops at 440 lb.

How does a transfer work?

The footplate and the lower-leg support take the feet and shins. A ThoraxSling, bought separately, supports the back. The four-button hand control raises the arm and opens the base. Do not leave the person alone during the move.

If the hand control fails, lowering can be manual or electrical. The emergency stop is on the control box. The lift arm has to stay loaded while it comes down.

Will the base fit the room?

• Outside width is 26.3 in (669 mm) with the legs closed. Check the narrowest door.
• Inside width with the legs open is 30.4 in (773 mm).
• The brochure prints one size block for every 160, then a separate caster line for the low-leg codes.

Which sling fits?

Savaria lists ThoraxSling for the MiniLift. It is not in the box. The calf strap, item 70200033, is also separate. See sit-to-stand slings. The lower of the lift limit and the sling limit is the one that applies. We match the sling before you order.

What is specific to 60300013?

• Electrical base widening. The pedal version of this low-leg lift is item 60300011.
• Front casters are 2.8 in (70 mm). Rear casters are 3.9 in (100 mm) and lock.
• The six-button hand control, item 70200089, is an accessory, not the control that comes on the lift.

Battery and charging

The current brochure says the MiniLift has built-in charging. It does not print a battery chemistry or an amp-hour figure, so this page does not either. An external charger, item 70200029, is listed as its own part. Charge it off a wet floor.
