PowerLift and Levigait have come together to create a safe lifting program for Fire and EMS.

Levigait has created a bariatric gait belt built and designed for lifting patients safely from the ground. The founder and creator is Mike Philips, a firefighter for nearly 20 years. Paired with the PowerLift safe lifting techniques the Levigait People Mover can save departments from career ending injuries.

Testimonials

“

“This is our go to device for people who need help up off the floor and it truly is a back saver for us. I’ve used this on patients who are in the bathtub, on the floor or stuck on the toilet, all with great results.”
Joey S.Senior Firefighter/ Paramedic

“

We have been using the “People Mover” strap by Levigait; It’s part of our first out medical gear kit. I like it because it causes less strain to the patient, less wear and tear on my back, and it’s easy to clean. We won’t start a shift without one.

“As a firefighter and Peer Fitness Trainer for my fire department, I’ve found that the People Mover allows me and other firefighters the ability to lift with better technique and more comfortable for the person being lifted.”
