Safe Emergency Lifting Without Manual Handling
The Mangar ELK uses low-pressure air to lift a fallen person from the floor without strain or physical lifting. Designed to reduce musculoskeletal injury risk, it enables one carer to carry out a controlled, safe lift with minimal effort.
Compact and Portable Design for Indoor or Outdoor Use
Lightweight and battery-powered, the ELK fits easily into confined areas like bathrooms, hallways or small rooms and can also be used outdoors. Its compact design allows it to be transported in standard vehicles and stored with ease.
Supports High Weight Capacity
With a maximum user weight of up to 450 kg, the ELK accommodates a wide range of body sizes, including bariatric individuals. It is a reliable lift assist device for emergency responders, care homes and home users.
Four-Stage Inflation for Gentle, Seated Lifting
The cushion inflates in four controlled stages using a hand-held remote. Each section inflates sequentially to create a steady, seated lift. The final stage can be omitted for individuals who require a lower seat height.
Includes Airflo 24 Portable Compressor
Powered by the compact, battery-operated Airflo 24 compressor unit, the ELK delivers a reliable lift anytime, anywhere. No electrical outlet is required, making it suitable for mobile and emergency response teams.
Proven in Emergency and Aged Care Settings
Widely adopted by ambulance services including Ambulance Victoria, St John and other national providers, the ELK is endorsed for professional use. It’s also common in hospitals, aged care, rehab facilities and private homes.
Minimises Wait Times for Assistance
By allowing a single person to lift a fallen individual safely, the ELK reduces dependence on emergency services and can drastically shorten the time a person remains on the floor improving comfort, safety and dignity.
Easy to Operate with Minimal Training
Each inflation button is clearly labelled, allowing carers or family members with minimal training to perform a lift. It’s well-suited for family carers supporting individuals with dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, or frailty.
Durable and Low Maintenance
The ELK is built with high quality materials tested for frequent use in clinical and outdoor conditions. It requires minimal cleaning and no special maintenance procedures. All wear parts are replaceable as needed.
