Dignity Lifts Helper Toilet Lift HL1

Description/Videos

The Dignity Lifts Helper Lift HL1 offers a more compact, modern alternative to a traditional Hoyer lift, especially suited for people who can sit upright and live with a caregiver. Designed for those who can maintain a stable seated posture, the HL1 enables a caregiver to lift and transfer a person from one seated position to another without needing the bulk and complexity of a Hoyer lift.

Unlike Hoyer lifts, which are necessary for patients who cannot sit up on their own, the HL1 is ideal for those who are able to sit independently but lack mobility. With the HL1, you can transfer a resident to different locations within the home, including:

• From bedside seating
• From a toilet
• From a couch or lift chair
• From a dining chair or at a table
• From a shower chair
• From a wheelchair

Because the HL1 is only 23″ wide, it easily passes through most doorways. Its design places the lifting seat between its side rails, making the unit easier to maneuver in tight spaces within homes or apartments. This lift is a single-caregiver assist device so one person (whether a professional or a family caregiver) can operate it safely, even if they have back concerns.

The HL1 uses a “helper-sling” that rests beneath the user. The sling is washable and intended for users who can sit upright on their own. It secures with seatbelt-style clips, followed by the installation of a seatback, and once the user is safely seated, the lift raises them electrically using a rechargeable battery. Because the lift handles all lifting motions, the caregiver does not need to shoulder the resident’s weight.

Here’s how the HL1 might be used in a typical day:

1. Transfer from bedside to a lower-positioned bathroom seat for toileting
2. Transport from bathroom to the dining area
3. Optionally remain in the HL1 during meals (the lift maintains an upright seated posture)
4. Transfer from dining chair down to a couch or recliner
5. Later, move back to the dining area for another meal
6. Transfer to a shower chair (if using a walk-in shower)
7. Transfer and lower the user to the toilet as needed
8. At day’s end, return and lift the user back to bed

All of these transitions are handled by the electric lift mechanism—no heavy lifting required of the caregiver. Large, lockable casters and ergonomic handles allow for smooth, safe movement of the user throughout the home.

White Glove Delivery Service

Would you like your Dignity Lift professionally delivered and installed? Our White Glove Delivery Service provides complete delivery, setup, and installation of your lift in 47 states (excluding Hawaii, Alaska, and North Dakota). With this service, Dignity Lifts coordinates with a local certified technician in your area—experienced in installing and servicing medical equipment such as wheelchairs, lifts, and ramps. Your lift is shipped directly to them, and they will contact you to schedule an appointment for in-home delivery and full installation in your bathroom.

Once the White Glove Delivery is complete, your Dignity Lift will be fully assembled, tested, and ready for long-term use. The entire process typically takes 1–2 weeks from the time you place your order, with most of the wait time spent coordinating schedules. The result is a seamless, professional installation that ensures your lift operates perfectly.

Many customers choose White Glove Delivery when they are unable to bend or move comfortably enough to install the lift themselves, or when they prefer a professional to handle bathroom installation. This service is ideal for individuals with limited mobility or for families who may not be available to assist. It provides peace of mind, convenience, and the independence you deserve.

Please note the following guidelines:

• White Glove Delivery is available in 47 U.S. states (HI, AK, and ND are not eligible).
• Nearly all addresses within those states can be serviced, but extremely rural areas may not have a registered technician available. If service cannot be arranged, Dignity Lifts will issue a full refund.
• Your bathroom and toilet must be clean and sanitary before installation. Technicians are professionals and cannot perform work in soiled environments; unclean conditions may cause delays or additional fees.
• To ensure smooth scheduling, please add “White Glove Delivery” to your shopping cart when purchasing your lift. Ordering both together helps us coordinate your service efficiently.

White Glove Delivery gives you a worry-free, first-class installation experience, ensuring your Dignity Lift is ready to use safely and comfortably from day one.
