Traveling with Disabilities
During your last visit to a casino on
the Las Vegas strip did you happen to notice the number of
tourists using some kind of support device. Many are in wheelchairs or are using battery powered
scooters, many use walkers, and some are even carrying oxygen bottles to
help them breathe. Isn’t it
terrific that so many people with what most would consider daunting
hardships would make the effort to visit Las Vegas and join in the fun.
How do they cope?
At home they have equipment to support their needs but once on the
road what then? To be sure
there are ramps and “handicap accessible” facilities but consider
this; how does a person that cannot stand transfer from a wheelchair to
their bed? They may have a friend or relative to help them but that is
an accident just waiting to happen. The
best way to solve the problem is portable transfer equipment, equipment
that they use at home but is easily carried with them on a trip.
This is a battery powered, mobile floor lift. It is called a LikoLight.
It can be used to effortlessly lift an individual for transfer weighing up to 308
pounds. It will save the back
of a well meaning care provider. It
can lift a fallen person up off of the floor.
It is easy to maneuver. But,
of all the things that it can do its most outstanding feature is that it
is PORTABLE! It is easily carried in the back of the car.
It is constructed of light weight
aluminum and can be disassembled, without tools, so that the heaviest part
weighs only 22 pounds. For
the individual that has difficulty in transferring it will provide support
at home and at that fancy hotel right on the Strip.
