HOW DOES IT WORK?
Lift the passenger out of the wheelchair
Fast transfer through the cabin aisle
The PRM Transfer Lift wheelbases are adjustable to be able to transfer through any narrow aircraft aisle. The passenger is transferred to his or her designated seat row fast, safe and comfortable by 2 airport service staff. There is no need for the extra transfer into the aisle wheelchair anymore.
Seat the passenger in the aircraft seat
The PRM Transfer Lift can be adjusted to any seat pitch, and can reach almost all economy and business class seats. The passenger is easily lifted over any fixed arm rests to his or her aircraft seat, even if this is the window seat.
Turnaround times do not need to be affected. Boarding with the PRM Transfer Lift is just as fast as manual lifting, when performed by trained service staff.
Designed for use in the main commercial aircraft types, via jet bridge or platform ambulift.

USER REVIEWS
Reviews left by airport staff and supervisors, and PRM passengers and their company:
Scott Hopkins
Gatwick Airport Ramp Supervisor
“At Gatwick Airport we have been using PRM (person with reduced mobility) passenger hoists for many years and have highly trained staff to operate hoists. The Prevalis PRM Transfer Lift completely changed our way of using a hoist on a PRM passenger and we were amazed of just how simple the PRM Transfer Lift works. It made lifting a PRM in a hoist a lot more stress free for both the passenger and our staff.”

Having recently traveled with a disabled person I was shocked to see how airlines deal with someone who is unable to walk and get to their seat in the plane. But at Schiphol Airport, a team of people from Prevalis were at the plane docking bay with a PRM lift to get him off the plane. What an experience to see Shaun (who by the way not only cannot walk, but also has only one arm) being strapped into the harness, gently lifted out of his seat, maneuvered into a position on the cradle of the unit where he could safely be taken down the aisle (we were seated on row 26) without bumping and banging him into any other seats or obstacles. He was transferred into his own wheelchair with no hassles and any rough treatment.
The gentle and dignified manner in which this apparatus allows him to be handled is the way things should be done.
Once again thank you SOOOOOO much for the way in which you handled Shaun, allowing him to feel like a human being!
