More Information

The Elk Inflatable Emergency Lifting Cushion is a battery-powered lifting cushion. The fallen person can scoot to the cushion or be assisted, then the Elk is inflating easily and raises the fallen person to a seated position where they can rest and stand when ready.

This lift helps promote security and safety by minimizing the amount of movement and handling a person comes into contact with after falling.

All that's needed to use the lifting cushions are included, the cushions and the air compressor. No small accessories to keep track of and possibly lose. The Elk can lift up to 980 lbs, making it perfect for most people. Simply connect the four hoses from the hand control to the connectors on the Elk. The four buttons on the hand control correlate to the cushions. First, inflate '1' and continue through, allowing the fallen person to rise slowly until fully inflated.

The material is durable and ensures protection for your loved one. The material is also easy to be cleaned. The Elk is easy to store, as it compacts when deflated and is easy to transport.

A fall can be distressing to not only the person who falls but all those around. The Elk lifting cushion helps to make the occurrences after the fall as simple as possible and reduce post-fall injuries and trauma.

The Airflo 24 Air Compressor is more efficient and powerful than the Airflo Plus, providing a more durable unit than before. With its LED indicator, easily find the power button and view the power levels with a quick glance.

At 30% lighter then the current Airflo, this air compressor has been vastly improved with its renewed grab handle style and balanced carry. Additionally, when the battery life gets low or dies, easily charge the air compressor with the included AC/DC charger. This lightweight 9-pound air compressor requires a charge recovery for just one lift takes two hours.

What Customers Are Saying:

"Excellent product. We placed this product in our ambulance. With the ELK there is no need to pull on the patient's arms or under the shoulders to lift them off the floor. It is better for the patient and the providers. It has kept us from needing to call our volunteer fire department as often for lift assists. Longevity: it has lasted 10 years maybe? We are just now replacing the compressor. The pillow is still in great shape. It is compact and easy to move and use. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a lifting device. I only know of one other company in our county that has one and that is a personal care home. - Tom J."

"I'm a nurse who is also the full-time caregiver for my mom with MS. She's 73 and wheelchair-bound. She falls fairly often when her legs give out during self-transfers. We had been calling for help from 911 when she fell because she is too heavy for me to lift by myself. We finally purchased this cushion and it is fantastic! I'm able to get her up by myself and without much difficulty. I know it isn't cheap but we were looking at having to get an electric house lift for each level of the house whereas this is easily carried from upstairs to downstairs. I can't recommend this enough! - Eric G."

"I am writing to express my appreciation for this marvelous invention. The Elk emergency lifting cushion has made our daily living more serene and rids us of the constant fear of recovery from falls. The fact too that this equipment can be taken with me on holiday away from home is a special advantage. - Irene J."

FAQ For Mangar Elk Inflatable Emergency Lifting Cushion

? Have a question about this product? Click here to ask us!

What happens if I get a puncture?

Answer: The incidences of puncture are rare. If a puncture does occur, then only the section of cushion with the damage would be affected – the remaining three will still operate. The lifting cushion will not burst like a balloon and there is no risk of injury to the patient from a rapid descent. If the puncture is small, then the cushion would still work though there would be an audible leak. Punctures cannot be repaired due to the pressure and load and damaged units have to be replaced.

What is the height of the inflated cushions with a 200 lb person sitting on it?

Answer: Without anyone on it, the inflated height is 22 inches. A person sitting on it will take it about 3 inches down, so I would expect it to be about 18-19 inches in that scenario.

How many pounds can this device sustain?

Answer: According to the manufacturer, this device can support up to 980-lbs.

Only way it could be improved is for the charge to last longer on each lift. It seems the battery is depleted very quickly when using.

Mom fell when hurricane was going over us at 8:00 pm. 911 was not able to come until 9:30 am next morning. I could not physically get her up. Product was packed very well. I havent had to use it yet. I am sleeping much better because I know if she falls again it will get her off of the floor. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing. Thanks so much.

Wonderful idea, but it is a bit wobbly as it inflates so you MUST guard the patient and give them something to hold on to. Perhaps a chair on either side of them to hold. I tried it on myself and found it tilted to the side a small bit, but enough that I had a hard time keeping my balance without a hand support. Once it is inflated, however, it is very sturdy. So just keep that in mind.

Works perfect. Quality product. I love that there are 4 pillows to inflate to make it easier for my husband to transfer to his walker. I have the Manager Bath Pillow also. Both products work as advertised. Thank you!

Weve practiced only. Not an actual emergency. A little shaky, wobbly, but, it works very well. Easy to understand instructions.

My husband is handicapped and I am 80 years old. His falls have been very difficult for both of us. The lifting cushion worked exactly as I had anticipated!

This product is a God send! My husband no longer has to lift me onto the bed when my legs are tired at the end of the day. Love it.

Used this once for practice and it was easy to operate. Looks like this will work well when needed. 4 star rating only because we havent used this in an emergency.
