QUESTION: I am considering buying this unit but one of my questions is the ability to use the sling from the floor. I am disabled (power chair) and in transferring to my chair, I have fallen. My husband and I are in our 70s and he can't pick me up off the floor. This product spec shows a minimum height of 26", which, I assume, means the sling would not reach the floor. ANSWER: Minimum height is for the hook of the patient lift. It would not reach the floor by itself as all other lifters. But with sling used together, the sling may be able to reach the floor. You can select a 2 point sling that needs to work with chains and can reach floor.
