Separate three measurements
| Measurement | What it helps establish |
|---|---|
| Floor to platform | The lifting mechanism’s range. Check whether the quoted figure includes a mattress. |
| Floor to mattress surface | The actual surface in use; it changes when the mattress or overlay changes. |
| Surface relative to rails | Effective rail height and gaps must be checked with the complete system in its different positions. |
Sitting, transferring and care have different requirements
For sitting at the edge, consider foot support, balance and the assistance used to stand. A height chosen for care work may remove that foot support. Choose the adjustment around the person and task.
A seated transfer also involves compression of the mattress and chair cushion. Similar unloaded heights alone do not establish a safe technique. If the person cannot participate or the transfer is unsafe, equipment and assistance need assessment. HSE’s person-centred handling guidance.
Read a catalogue range in context
Ask where it is measured and which bed size it describes. Geriafy’s page shows conflicting ranges, so we do not calculate a guaranteed finished height from an unclarified figure.
Gerialift publishes 37–77 cm for its 90 × 190 model; Quirumed lists 45–89 cm for trolley with platform. These are equipment specifications, not recommended heights for every user. Compare the documented references.
Under-bed clearance is a separate check
A raised sleeping surface does not establish that a mobile lift fits underneath. Check crossbars, base height, leg opening and approach space in the intended positions.
Record before ordering
- Exact bed size, platform range and mattress reference.
- The intended sitting, care and transfer settings assessed for the person.
- Side access and clearance for existing equipment.
- Brake operation, handset functions and power-failure procedure.
Review the fit when mobility, mattress or overlays change. Do not use a rail as a grab handle unless it is designed and approved for that use.
