“Mechanic Lift Seat” Great For Getting Around Shop
 ✖  |
“This new mechanic lift seat raises, lowers and rolls for less stress on the body. We designed it to help farmers with leg impairments work on projects close to the floor and then rise to sitting or standing without trouble,” says Ned Stoller with Disability Work Tools, Lowell, Mich.
The lift seat consists of a mechanic’s creeper equipped with a seat and a hydraulic floor jack. Pumping on the jack handle lifts the operator from kneeling level up to a sitting position, without using leg muscles. The seat can be lowered to within 8 1/2 in. of the ground and raised to a height of 24 in.
“The operator uses his arm strength to push and pull the unit into position, without having to crawl from one place to another,” says Stoller. “The floor jack brings him into a sitting position, and from there it’s easy to stand up by holding onto the armrests.”
A wide wheelbase and a 1-in. steel tubing frame make the lift seat stable and strong enough to support 280 lbs.
Stoller designs and manufactures the mechanic lift seat along with other adaptive tools. He also works with the AgrAbility Project, and his DisabilityWorkTools.com website lists a raft of tools to help people continue to work.
The mechanic lift seat sells for $649 plus S&H and is available on the website. An electric-operated model is also available for an additional $600.
