COVER STORY A Safe Transition
More than a user lift system, the Rifton TRAM combines three powerful functions in one device: gait training, sit-to-stand transfers, and seated transfers.
The Rifton TRAM is a transfer and mobility device designed for the safety, convenience and dignity of both user and carer. Offering more utility for less cost, the TRAM seamlessly performs seated transfers and raises a user for standing and supported ambulation.
The Benefits: • An ultralight compact frame that’s easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces
• Intuitive controls and adjustments, making it simple for a single carer to operate
• A body support system that eliminates any lifting by the carer, reducing back strain and workplace injuries
• 160kg weight capacity and a powerful battery drive that can deliver over 70 lifts on a single charge
• An optional built-in scale, allowing you to weigh your user while performing a routine transfer
Capable of lifting and transferring users of varying abilities and body types, the TRAM features an innovative, patent-pending, support system that secures the patient with a simple buckle. This enables the carer to quickly prepare the user for a safe transfer.
At just over 32kg, the TRAM’s compact, ultralight frame is manoeuvrable 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.
Rifton products are distributed exclusively in the UK* by Jiraffe.
Gait Training:
Walking Safely with Support 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 TRAMS’ combined sit-to-stand and supported walking functions make it essential for the home or care environment.
Sit-to-Stand Transfers 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 carer to assist a user with movement – regardless of the carers or users size. With the TRAM, the transition from sitting to standing, and back down again, is both safe and simple.
Seated Transfers A carefully engineered telescoping lift column gives the TRAM its low profile, providing users with the security and dignity of unobstructed eye contact with their caregivers and surroundings. *Excluding Northern Ireland
