Wow, Chris is amazing. I could never do as much as he does ...but I *can* do a lift by myself.
I have a power-lift from HandiMove that has a wireless (IR) remote that lets me move one way, or the other, on the ceiling track, as well as up and down. Even cooler, though, the body support does not use a sling, but has big hooks for each leg and "grabs" me by my torso. Works great and in 10+ years have not had any problems doing it by myself. I love it!
