Specifically designed for travel and use away from home, the Travel Lifter Model TVL-601 folds flat for easy storage or transport. Setup takes only minutes and no tools are needed. Once set up for pivot lifting, the machine is remarkably maneuverable. Most of the user's weight is directly over the two center-mounted wheels – so the Travel Lifter easily turns in its own length. Rear stabilizer casters are specially positioned and telescope to enable it to easily fit under even the lowest of hotel beds. The Travel Lifter features a lifting technique and geometry similar to all EasyPivots. Present EasyPivot users will find usage much like their present lifts. However, the Travel Lifter weighs only 48 pounds – about 40% less than the lightest previous EasyPivot. Commenting on the new Travel Lifter, Rand-Scot's president, Joel Lerich, states, "As our EasyPivot Patient Lifts have gained popularity, more of our customers are requesting a lift specifically designed for travel. The TVL series of machines should fill that need. With this lifter, the need to select lodging with Hollywood beds (the so-called "Hoyer Hotel") won't be necessary."
