Description
The Invacare Get-U-Up (model GHS350) is a hydraulic sit-to-stand lift. Instead of carrying a person’s whole body in a sling, it helps them rise from a seated position to standing while they bear some of their own weight. The person places their feet on the footplate, rests their shins against the padded leg support and holds the handles while a standing sling wraps around their back. The caregiver then pumps the handle to bring them up to a standing position.
Sit-to-stand lifts are ideal for toileting, changing clothes and short transfers between a bed, wheelchair, commode or chair. Standing also helps keep leg muscles active, which a full-body lift does not. The Get-U-Up supports up to 350 lbs. and needs no batteries.

- 350 lb. weight capacity.
- Manual hydraulic pump; no batteries to charge.
- Pump handle rotates side to side for either-side operation.
- Adjustable leg support with a contoured pad.
- Retractable non-slip footplate.

- Works with Invacare standing and transfer slings (sold separately).
Is a Sit-to-Stand Lift Right for You?
A sit-to-stand lift is meant for someone who can bear some weight on their legs, sit up on their own and hold on with at least one hand, but who cannot stand up safely without help. If the person cannot bear weight at all, a full-body lift such as the Invacare 9805P is the safer choice. A nurse or therapist can help you decide.
Casters Designed to Move With the User
The Invacare Get-U-Up uses non-locking casters by design. As the person rises, the lift can shift slightly so they stand up in a natural arc instead of being pulled against a fixed frame. If your care plan calls for locking casters, Invacare offers a locking caster kit (part 1110421). Ask us about adding it.

Using the Invacare Get-U-Up Safely
Make sure the person’s feet are flat on the footplate and their shins are against the leg pad before lifting. Fasten the sling snugly around the back and under the arms. Raise slowly and stop if the person cannot hold their weight. The Get-U-Up is for transfers, not for moving someone from room to room.

Invacare standing and transfer slings such as the Invacare Reliant Standing Sling (R130).
Why don’t the casters lock?

Is it a stand-aid or a sit-to-stand lift?
