Other features of the Presence patient lift are the ergonomic foot pad that assists the caregiver with initiating movement. The hand control clip holds the pendant in place when it is not being used, preventing it from falling and possible damage. The Presence cradle can be ordered with an optional scale to simplify resident weighing. Also the Powered base allows caregivers to open and close the legs with the simple touch of a button - no bending or twisting. The tapered leg design allows the Stature to be positioned closer to bulky objects such as commodes, wheelchairs and large chairs during resident transfers. Sculptured base design allows caregivers to get closer to residents during transfers, while concealing all working components. Versatility in sling options: 6-point spreader bar and 4-point positioning cradle, along with specialized slings, have been developed to provide the caregiver with options when considering support, comfort and flexibility for the resident. The Presence is made of all aluminum construction.
