Introduction: IndeeLift’s patented line of Human Floor Lifts (HFLs) are a class of human lifts unlike any other. This family of products has been designed to lift individuals who are on the floor or ground and are unable to get up without assistance.
With a turning radius of 24” for the HFL-500-E, and 30” for the HFL-600-E, these HFLs can go operate in the tightest of spaces, including most small bathrooms.
Batteries and Charger: Kobalt 24-Volt 4 Amp-Hour Lithium Battery and Charger. NOTE: Batteries have a power indicator to show how much power remains in the battery. Page 5 of 24 IL-HFL-500/600-E UM Copyright 2022 IndeeLift Inc. All Rights Reserved 04/07/2022...
NOTE: HFL-500/600-E machines are shipped with two batteries and a charger. This enables the HFL’s battery to be swapped out at weekly intervals, or as described in the department’s standard operating procedure for portable tools that utilize rechargeable batteries.

Each belt assembly includes two straps; the longer strap has a seatbelt style buckle with a snap hook at the end, the shorter strap has a seatbelt style clasp with a snap hook at the end.
