Patient Lifts Available for Rent
Hydraulic Patient Lift Rentals
Hydraulic patient lifts use a manually operated hydraulic pump to raise and lower the lift. Because they do not require electrical power for lifting, they provide a straightforward option for many temporary homecare situations.
- Manual Hydraulic Operation: A pump mechanism raises the lift while a controlled release lowers it.
- Adjustable Base: Many patient lifts allow the base width to be adjusted to help position the lift around compatible beds, wheelchairs, and furniture.
- No Lift Battery Required: Hydraulic operation does not depend on a powered lifting motor.
- Sling Use: Patient lifts require an appropriate compatible sling for the user and transfer being performed. Sling availability and compatibility should be confirmed before rental.
Available models, weight capacities, sling compatibility, and other features may vary by location.

Electric Patient Lift Rentals
Electric patient lifts use a powered lifting mechanism operated by a hand control. They can reduce the amount of manual pumping required when raising or lowering the lift during a transfer.
- Powered Lifting & Lowering: The lifting mechanism is operated using an electric actuator and hand control.
- Hand Control Operation: Controls allow the caregiver to operate the powered lift functions.
- Adjustable Base: Available models may include adjustable legs or base width to accommodate different transfer environments.
- Emergency Features: Features such as emergency lowering or stop functions may be included, depending on the rental model.
- Sling Compatibility: The correct compatible sling is required and should be selected based on the lift, user, and intended transfer.
Available electric lift models, capacities, controls, and sling options vary by location.

Choosing the Right Patient Lift Rental
Choosing a patient lift requires more than deciding between hydraulic and electric operation. Important considerations include user weight, lift capacity, transfer environment, available floor space, sling type, and compatibility with the bed or wheelchair being used.
MedServ can help you compare available lift models and identify compatible equipment. The person performing transfers should also follow the lift and sling manufacturer's instructions and any transfer guidance provided by the user's healthcare or rehabilitation team.
Patient Lift Slings
A compatible sling is an essential part of a patient lift system. Sling styles, sizes, attachment types, and weight capacities vary, and not every sling is compatible with every lift or transfer.
Contact MedServ before renting to confirm which sling or accessories are required for the available patient lift. Slings may be sold separately depending on the equipment and rental arrangement.
Patient Lift Delivery, Setup & Availability
Patient lift inventory, delivery availability, setup services, and rental periods vary by location. Contact our Urbana or Palatine team before renting to confirm current equipment availability, delivery options, compatible slings, and pricing.
