The manus® contribution submitted here is the new development of a patient lift for ambulances for transporting patients who are able to sit in the vehicle. In the past few years, the number of rescue and transfer transports involving obese patients has significantly increased, making the development of special loading equipment with a lifting capacity up to 400 kilogrammes necessary. The lifting platform is positioned under the vehicle, making corrosion-resistant components necessary. Various iglidur® and DryLin® bearings are fitted.
