F400 Foldable Electric Patient Lift by Span America

(5 reviews)

The Span America F400 Foldable Patient Lift is a battery-powered floor lift for a person who cannot bear weight and needs full assistance during a transfer. It lifts up to 400 lb (182 kg) on a 2-point spreader bar, from 18.5 in (470 mm) at the floor to 67.2 in (1,707 mm) at the top of its travel, and it folds flat for storage or the car boot. Locking rear casters and a foot pedal that widens the base make it easier to position around a wheelchair, recliner or bed. Two or more caregivers may be needed depending on the patient's assessment.

What is included?

The F400 lift with its 2-point spreader bar, a 2-button pendant with an LED indicator, a 24 V quick-release battery pack, a plug-in AC charger and the tools for assembly. A sling is not included: the bar takes a range of sling types, so tell us the person's weight and we will match a sling whose rating suits the lift. The charging cradle is optional rather than included, so ask us about it when you order.

Description

The Span America F400 is a foldable, battery-powered patient lift: an electric floor lift that folds flat for storage and for travel.

Who is the Span America F400 foldable patient lift for?

  • The F400 is for a person who needs the maximum level of assistance during a transfer and cannot bear weight, up to a 400 lb (182 kg) safe working load.

Will the F400 fit your home?

  • The F400 needs 27.6 in (701 mm) of doorway with its legs closed, and 4.7 in (119 mm) of clearance under the bed frame; upright it stands 48.3 in (1,227 mm) at the mast.
  • Measure both before you choose.
  • A free home assessment can check both.

Which slings fit the F400?

  • The F400 uses a 2-point spreader bar that accommodates a range of sling types.
  • No specific sling model is named; confirm the pairing with us first.
  • The sling rating must match or exceed the lift's 400 lb (182 kg), and Health Canada advises that the maker approve the lift-and-sling pairing.

How does a transfer work?

The 2-button pendant raises and lowers the boom, and the control unit works if the pendant is lost. The lift reaches floor level, and manual emergency lowering brings the person down if power fails.

Battery and charging

A 24 V quick-release battery pack runs the lift; a plug-in AC charger is included and a charging cradle is optional. No lifts-per-charge figure is published.

Delivery, setup and service

We deliver and set up across Toronto and the GTA, charge the battery, fit the sling and walk you through the controls and emergency lowering. Our technicians service what we sell, at home or in our shop. For a short need, ask about renting a patient lift first.

The warranty is 3 years on the frame and spreader bar, 2 years on the electronics and 1 year on the battery.

How does it compare?

The Hoyer Advance is rated 341 lb (155 kg) and folds for transport; the Invacare Reliant 450 is a 450 lb floor lift. See patient lifts and slings.

Frequently asked questions

Does a transfer need two people?

Two or more caregivers may be required, based on a full assessment of the patient's mobility, weight, size, medical conditions, mental status and ability to assist.

What happens if the power fails during a transfer?

Manual emergency lowering brings the person down under control without power.

Is a sling included with the lift?

No. The 2-point bar takes a range of sling types; tell us the person's weight and we will match one whose rating suits the lift.
