Which bath lift is right for me?
When choosing a bath lift, the dimensions of the bathtub, the desired seat height, the weight capacity, and the level of personal support needed are particularly important. The backrest, controls, and the lift’s weight can also be crucial in everyday use.
Why a bathtub lift?
Greater safety while bathing
The lift supports controlled lowering into the bathtub and subsequent raising.
Significantly more comfortable to use
Many models can be conveniently operated with a waterproof remote control.
Easy and quick to retrofit
Bath lifts can be used in many existing bathtubs.
For different needs
Different seat widths, backrests, and weight capacities allow you to choose the right option.
What should I look for when buying a bathtub lift?
Before purchasing, first check the bathtub’s internal dimensions. It is essential that the lift can be positioned securely and that there is sufficient space for lowering and raising it.
You should also consider the maximum load capacity, the seat height in its highest and lowest positions, and the shape of the backrest. Anyone who wants to remove or transport the lift regularly should also pay attention to its own weight and ensure that it can be dismantled as easily as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bath Lifts
How does a bathtub lift work?
The user sits on the lift’s seat. Using a hand control, the seat is electrically lowered into the bathtub and raised again after bathing.
Does a bath lift fit in every bathtub?
Not every lift fits every bathtub. The bathtub’s width, length, and depth should therefore be compared with the manufacturer’s specifications before purchase.
