Safe and Confident Transfers with the Arjo Sara Stedy Sit-to-Stand Lift
Patient transfers are one of the leading causes of injury in healthcare environments. A single slip can result in serious falls, while caregivers frequently experience back and muscle strain from repeated manual lifting. The Arjo Sara Stedy Sit-to-Stand Manual Lift was designed to change that dynamic — offering a safe, stable, and dignified transfer solution that supports patient independence while protecting caregivers from physical stress.
Built for individuals who can bear some weight and use their upper-body strength, the Sara Stedy promotes active participation in standing and sitting transitions. Whether moving from a bed to a wheelchair, chair, or commode, this innovative non-powered aid enhances mobility and comfort with every use.

Features and Highlights
Designed for safety, comfort, and independence, the Sara Stedy enhances patient mobility and empowers caregivers with intuitive support for everyday transfers.
Pivoting Seat Opening
The pivoting split seat provides angled support during transfers, allowing patients to comfortably move into a standing position. Once upright, the seat sections swing closed behind the user for security during movement.
Available in Two Sizes
The Sara Stedy comes in Standard and Compact models to accommodate various patient needs and clinical environments.
Standard Model: For patients 4’11”–6’6” (149–193 cm), up to 400 lbs (182 kg).
Compact Model: Ideal for smaller patients or limited-space settings.
Soft Knee Support
Cushioned knee pads provide both comfort and stability, giving patients a firm base to press against while standing and reducing strain on joints.
Pedal-Operated Chassis Legs
The foot-pedal adjustment system allows caregivers to widen the base effortlessly for access to chairs and wheelchairs, reducing bending and strain.
Ergonomic Crossbar Handle
A horizontal pull bar encourages patients to take an active role by pulling themselves upward—helping maintain muscle tone and promoting dignity during transfers.
Durable, Low-Profile Design
Built from high-strength steel and composite materials, the Sara Stedy is designed for long-term reliability in hospitals, rehab centers, and home care. Its low-profile base and small casters enhance maneuverability around furniture and beds.
Supporting Independence and Early Mobility
The intuitive design allows a single caregiver to safely assist a patient without lifting. By encouraging active participation, it promotes balance retraining, muscle engagement, and confidence during recovery or rehabilitation.
Its compact frame glides smoothly through doorways and narrow corridors, allowing seamless movement from room to room. The integrated seat and handle system ensures stable, upright transfers that preserve patient dignity.
Safe, Stable, and Ergonomic
For caregivers, the Sara Stedy provides complete control and stability during every transfer.
- Total-lock castors secure the lift in place during use.
- Integrated hand grips simplify steering and repositioning.
- Pedal-activated legs adjust easily for wider chairs or commodes.
These design elements help reduce back injuries and fatigue, improving long-term caregiver safety and job satisfaction.
