In-home healthcare solution

“ I am blown away with the results of the Rifton TRAM. I have seen patients with severe strokes, spinal cord injuries, Guillian-Barre syndrome and CIDP come to our facility paralyzed and leave walking. This piece of technology has been key to discharging patients not to long-term care but home and into the community. ”

The Rifton TRAM is a transfer and mobility device designed to deliver three powerful functions in one compact unit: gait training, sit-to-stand transfers and seated transfers. In this way the TRAM offers far more utility than a standard patient lift at a remarkably low price.

Capable of lifting and transferring patients of varying abilities and body types – up to 159 kilograms, the TRAM features an innovative, patented support system that secures the patient with a simple buckle. This enables the caregiver to quickly prepare the client for a safe transfer.

At just over 32 kg, the TRAM’s compact, ultralight frame is maneuverable in small or confined areas, as well as simple to transport or store. Quickly adoptable by multiple caregivers, the TRAM’s intelligent engineering significantly reduces back strain and stress – providing a smarter and safer environment for workers.

The single most frequently cited reason for entering assisted living is toileting difficulties. The TRAM makes toilet transfers safe and quick for the caregiver or spouse. Furthermore, its versatility makes the TRAM the perfect sit-to-stand solution for the patient who needs help getting up or support while walking. Compact and agile, the TRAM is ideal for in-home healthcare.

2. Sit-to-stand transfersThree powerful functions in one device

1. Gait training

Equipped with a comfortable walking saddle, the TRAM provides safe, supported ambulation without using additional floor space or staff. The saddle eliminates a patient’s fear of falling, allowing for increased focus on essential tasks, while maintaining or regaining the ability to walk. Whether for daily exercise or more demanding rehab, the TRAM’s combined sit-to-stand and supported walking functions make it essential for the home or institution.

The ability to transition between sitting and standing is critical for a patient’s independence and health. The TRAM’s walking saddle makes it easy for a caregiver to assist a patient with movement – regardless of the caregiver’s or patient’s size. With the TRAM, the transition from sitting to standing, and back down again, is both safe and simple.

3. Seated transfersA carefully engineered telescoping lift column gives the TRAM its low profile, providing patients with the security and dignity of unobstructed eye contact with their caregivers and surroundings.

Optional scale

“ We love using the Rifton TRAM in our rehab department. We find it to be the best over-ground body-weight support system for the money. Although we have other gait trainers, we find the TRAM gives patients much more room for ambulation. We looked at another body-weight supported system but were turned off by the high price tag. We have an anti-gravity treadmill which we also love, but have found it is not for everyone. We believe the Rifton TRAM to be a great product at a reasonable price. ”Matthew Palmer, PT, DPT, GCS Director of Rehabilitation, NHC Lexington, KY

“ We have purchased five TRAMs for use at our three program sites. We have 65 employees serving over 200 clients with a wide variety of disabilities but we have not had a single injury since we started using the TRAM and we have saved our company almost $100,000 this year in workers’ comp premiums. ”Sarah Ming, CST Elk Grove Adult Community Training

“ The TRAM has been an answer to prayer for us. Now I never have to call 911 for help; I can provide all my husband’s care on my own. Toileting is far less complicated and stressful. My husband feels secure and comfortable as I move him, and there’s no more back strain for me! It is an amazing piece of equipment and meets our needs to safely transfer him from one chair to another and into and out of bed. We could not be happier. ”Darlene R. Roanoke, Virginia

The TRAM’s optional scale allows the caregiver to weigh a patient as part of the transfer (without extra steps), as well as determine their weight-bearing capabilities.
