    How often should the lifting cushion be serviced?

    We recommend servicing your lifting cushion every 12 months.

    Are there different sizes of lifting cushions?

    We have an ELK, an Eagle and a Camel lifting cushion. The ELK will lift 450 KG or 980lbs, the Eagle will lift 190 KG or 420lbs, and the Camel will lift 350 KG or 700lbs. For each cushion, one size fits all and no additional accessories are required. In some circumstances a slide sheet, transfer board or transfer belt may be required to assist a transfer.

    Can I over inflate my lifting cushion?

    No. The Airflo 24 will stop once full pressure is realized.

    What sort of ground can lifting cushions be used on outside?

    The lifting cushions can be used on any type of surface but do look out for broken glass or sharp stones which could puncture the cushions. We advise putting a small tarpaulin or mat underneath the lifting cushion in these circumstances.

    Can I lift someone supine (lying down) on the lifting cushion?

    Yes. This lift with the Mangar Elk is performed in conjunction with a scoop or transfer board. Our Camel and Eagle lifting cushions can lift someone from a lying or sitting position.

    How quickly does the lifting cushion inflate and deflate?

    The speed the lifting cushions inflate will depend on the weight of the person being lifted, but generally it will take less than three minutes. The lifting cushions can deflate in less than a minute.

    What is the highest and lowest outside temperature I can use my lifting cushion in?

    The optimal temperature to reach the maximum number of lifts is between 95F (35C) and 41F (5C).

    Can I leave the battery on charge all the time?

    Yes, and we recommend you do. The Airflo 12 and the Airflo 24 may remain continuously on charge when not in use as the batteries cannot be overcharged.

    Who is eligible for VAT relief?

    To be eligible for VAT relief the government says you have to fit the following criteria:

    1. Charities – with a registered charity number.
    2. A person is ‘chronically sick or disabled‘ if he/she is a person:

    ✔ With a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon his/her ability to carry out everyday activities;

    ✔ Have a condition that doctors treat as a chronic sickness (e.g. diabetes).

    ✔ Who is terminally ill.

    Guidance on eligibility is available from the National Advice Service on 0300 200 3700.

    • You won’t qualify if you are only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as suffering from a broken leg or another temporary injury.
    • Neither will you qualify if you are elderly but are otherwise able-bodied and don’t suffer from any chronic condition.

    I have secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis and quite often fall out of my wheelchair due to my chemotherapy treatment. I now use a very simple device called the ‘Camel’ to get me up from the floor to my wheelchair very easily. The ‘Camel’ (Complete Air Moving Elevating Lift) uses low air pressure to inflate it first to sit me up and then to raise me to a height where I can transfer. In my situation 2 people are needed to assist me, but the ‘Camel’ is very simple and easy to use and requires minimal instruction to operate it. The ‘Camel’ chair lift is a fantastic piece of equipment.
