The Mackworth SA350 Stand Aid is compact, easy to manoeuvre and was uniquely designed to perform 3 key functions: Transfer / Sit to stand / Aid rehabilitation through assisted standing.

The Mackworth SA350 Stand Aid provides exceptional lifting abilities with two attachment points on the spreader bar. When using the lift as a standing aid, the carer can choose either attachment point, depending on the height and the abilities of the person being raised. This gives the ability to lift a wide range of people from 4’ to 6’ 5". It can also give two lifting angles, one leaning back, the other “head over heels”, a more natural standing procedure for those with lower body strength. 

The Mackworth SA350 is the ideal solution for rehabilitation programs. When physiotherapists are working in the early stages of rehabilitation, the standing support straps help support the client once in an upright standing position.
