Re: [QUAD-L] Hoyer lifts w/ butt clearance
I have a similar problem with clearance. I often put to bed down as far as it can go and I still scrape the bed going in. Then again, I am around 6'2", although some say around 6'3".

[QUAD-L] hoyer lifts
On the subject of Hoyer lifts... Got my first one about a week ago. I know the sling I got with it isn't going to work because I'd have to sit on it while in my chair. Before buying a sling that I think will work I decided to give it a try. When I'm in the sling, I can't turn facing the hydraulic cylinder (with my chair behind me) without my knees and feet hitting the cylinder. I have pretty long legs. I'm wondering if they come with a longer top arm? Does anybody else have this problem?
Re: [QUAD-L] Hoyer lifts
Not sure if hydraulic fluid comes in different weights like motor oil, but it's available at most hardware stores. Getting it in the cylinder is another thing. Hydraulic cylinders can be bought online, picking the right one might be tricky. Looking at daltonhydraulic.com, they all look like the kind that connect to an input and output line. My brother just replaced all the seals on 4 hydraulic cylinders on my father's tractor, luckily I found the seal kits on ebay. He had never done it before, turned out to be pretty easy with the right tools. On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 12:35 PM, Gmail wrote: > Yes, as a matter of fact just the other day.

I'm having a little trouble with getting it high enough for my butt to clear the mattress ... only by about 1 1/2" I'm assuming they make them so my butt could clear easily?

Re: [QUAD-L] Hoyer lifts and hot tubbin.... :-)
http://www.guldmann.com/index.php?module=K2Sections&type=user&func=display&sid=523 Hi Bobbie, I have a Guldmann Pontus 10'x10' freestanding lift. There's enough room for my twin bed, wheelchair and my Jacuzzi tub (30"x72" with 9 adjustable jets... ($1,000 of the best dollars I ever invested and was well worth saving up for) .add some bubbles and scents to the 106 degree temps and aa!! The jets on my feet neck and shoulders and hot water feel great every morning. The state funded all but the tub. I lift out of my chair and swing either into bed, my showerchair or my hot tub or visa-versa. The sling is taken off after im done transferring. I swear, this lift being so versatile and being able to set me in and out of the jetted tub every morning has helped me sooo much. No more lifting, scooting ect. I have had my lift for 4 years with zero troubles. I can even take the lift apart easily and move it to any room that's 10'x10'. I then run a hose from the shower head (with a quick disconnect) to fill the tub, then bilge it back into the shower drain when I get done with the jetted hot tub experience. Great if you move to a home without an accessible bathroom. You just need enough hose to reach the shower. These guys also have hoyer type lifts as well.
