“This mobile lifter makes it easier for both users and carers to
deal with daily situations involving lifting and moving. It may well help prevent work strains and back injuries for our care staff”
Manager, Long Term Care Facility
“Mobile lifters are particularly suitable in places and situations where there is no ceiling-mounted hoist system within reach.
Maybe there is no room for a stationary installation. Maybe the place does not normally involve lifting. Whatever the reason,
a mobile lifter is a practical and cost-effective lifting aid and a great means of extra safety”
Safe patient handling carer
GL5.2 Advantages
The GL5 mobile lifters are the floor based alternatives to the ceiling mounted lifting solutions offered
in the Guldmann range of products.
What makes the GL5 mobile floor lifters unique is the attention to detail that makes the lifter easy to use and
provides comfort and a safer lifting process.
The GL5 lifter has a lifting capacity of 205kg and features electric lifting and width adjustment
to allow easy access around chairs, baths and the ability to lift from the floor.
The configuration means lifting capacity is more than adequate, and GL5 lifters are very stable.
GL5.2 Mobile lifters can be charged using the lifter itself or externally via a battery. The low friction castors,
ergonomically designed push handle and the lifting design make the lifters easier to manoeuvre. User friendly features include easy
to use buttons and indicators and safety features with automatic on⁄off and easy to reach emergency stop ⁄ lowering functions.

GL5.2 handles all the lifting tasks
Lifting to and from the floor — GL5 can lift directly from the floor to a chair or bed.
This makes a GL5 the ideal solution if an unforeseen lifting need occurs where there is no ceiling mounted hoist available.
The lower section of the lifter is designed to give the user ample room and the considerable reach of the lifting arm means
the user doesn’t feel boxed in.
GL5 is ideal for use in physiotherapy, where users have to be lifted from, for example, a chair down onto an
exercise mattress. The lower section can be placed in the wide position to make sure there is enough room to make the lift directly above the mattress.
Lifting to and from the bed — GL5 ensures effective lifting to and from the bed.
The ability to lift high and the long reach result in the user can be placed correctly into the middle of the bed, or be positioned correctly into a wheelchair.
Heavy lifting — With the capacity to lift 205kg the GL5 is ideal for lifting bariatric patients.
It has ample room for the user, a high lifting capacity and exceptional stability that leaves the user without any discomfort or anxiety.
Horizontal lifting — With the advanced design of the lifting height and reach the GL5 is well
suited for horizontal lifting with the Guldmann stretcher style accessories.
