Product Description

Lifting very heavy patients requires special techniques and 

specially designed lift equipment. Liko has developed the 

Ultra product series to help lift such patients in a safe and 

comfortable manner.
The Liko Ultra LiftPants sling, when used in accordance with 

the information for use, gives very heavy patients the chance 

to practice standing and gait training without the risk of falling.
The Liko Ultra LiftPants sling aid in safe standing and gait training 

for patients with poor balance and poor leg function. It is 

essential that the patient is able to bear weight on their legs. 

The LiftPants allow the patient to move while relieving him/

her of a greater or lesser degree of body weight.
The Liko Ultra LiftPants sling are equipped with two hip straps 

on either side for more even weight distribution. There are 

two different sizes.

Selecting a suitable lift

It is recommended that at least two caregivers be present when 

transferring a patient.
The Liko Ultra LiftPants sling can be used along with Liko’s 

overhead or mobile lifts. An overhead lift can be used by the 

patient for unrestricted movement within the lift’s lifting area. 

You can choose between:
-  Liko’s UltraTwin system with two lift units. The maximum load 

is 500 kg (1100 lbs.), depending on which individual products 

are included in the assembled lift system. The UltraTwin 

system is available for both stationary installation and for 

freestanding installation in the UltraTwin FreeSpan™ system.

-  LikoGuard

  L  overhead  lift  for  lifting  up  to  272  kg  (600 

lbs.) or LikoGuard

 XL overhead lift for lifting up to 363 kg  

(800 lbs.).

-  Viking

 XL mobile lift for lifting up to 300 kg (660 lbs.).

standing- and gait training
