Variable Wheel Base Available on Home EasyPivots from Rand-Scot, Inc.

Rand-Scot Inc. is pleased to announce that field adjustable wheelbase width is now available for its two most popular home use EasyPivot patient lifts. 

The new machine base is a modular off shoot of the institutional model EP-260.  The new machines combine the base of the EP-260 with the column assembly of the standard home machine.    Therefore, patient lift users and dealers can upgrade from the standard wrench adjustable base to a crank adjustable unit that can be varied even with the patient aboard.

Upgrading to the new base simplifies and facilitates the use of the EasyPivot in many living situations.  With the new base, the machine can be widened to accommodate easy chairs and big wheelchairs, and narrowed to negotiate hallways and small doors.  An added benefit is that the upgrade EP-260 base can carry up to 330 pounds of weight.

Machines with the field variable base have outside width that can be varied from 25” to 37”.  Adjustments are made by rotating small cranks.  Designation for machines fitted with the variable base is EP-82/260 and EP-110/260.

Adding to the machine’s versatility, variable height foot bases are available on the special 260 upgrade

Both the EP-82/260 and EP-110/260 will join Rand-Scot’s other products including EasyPivot Patient Lifts, BBD (Bye-Bye Decubiti) Therapeutic Cushions and mattress overlays and the Saratoga Exercise Cycles.
