Mangar Elk Lifting Cushion System

The Mangar Elk Lifting Cushion is an inflatable floor lift designed to support individuals who have fallen and cannot get up on their own. Medical personnel, from EMS teams to long-term care staff, rely on this emergency lifting device to assist those with limited strength or mobility. With a weight capacity of up to 980 pounds, it helps prevent caregiver injury by performing the physical lift safely and efficiently.

This battery-powered patient lift is compact and easy to deploy in any environment, whether at home, in a facility, or in the field. The multi-chamber cushion inflates gradually, allowing for a controlled and stable lift that restores the user to a seated position. The Airflo Plus Compressor operates via remote control, giving caregivers full control without physical strain or the need for a power outlet.

Unlike manual lifting methods or waiting for emergency services, the Elk Lifting Cushion enables fast, dignified recovery after a fall. It empowers caregivers to respond quickly and safely, reducing injury risk and supporting continuity of care in both professional and home care settings.

To begin, the Elk Lifting Cushion is rolled out flat beneath the individual. For heavier patients, a Slide Sheet may assist with repositioning. Once in place, the caregiver activates the Airflo Plus Compressor using the handheld remote. Each chamber inflates in sequence, gently lifting the individual from the floor. Inflation halts automatically once upright, reducing user risk and ensuring safe operation even during solo lifts.

Manual lifting poses a significant risk of back injuries, muscle tears, and long-term strain. Using the Elk shifts the effort from the caregiver to the device, helping prevent work-related injuries, lowering workers’ compensation claims, and improving staff retention. This inflatable lifting cushion reduces the pressure on caregivers while offering a safe, controlled lift for the individual—minimizing trauma and maximizing care.
