Was looking online for alternatives to the Hoyer lift, I ran across this EasyPivot and watched some videos, it looks like a dream machine! Has anyone tried this for transferring a PALS? My stepfather is a big guy and very impatient when he wants to move or go to the bathroom, taking 20 minutes to position and hook up a crazy sling to a Hoyer just doesn't appear to be a reasonable alternative not to mention how large and hard to maneuver I have found them to be. Also not very reasonable for trying to get pants up and down for toileting which is one of the biggest problems we have. I am eager to see if we can get an EasyPivot but just wondering if it is really as easy to use as they show in the videos or if anyone has had any difficulties with using one?
