We founded HelpR LLC to address a critical need in patient care, particularly for individuals with mobility challenges and their caregivers. Our company's flagship product, the HelpR portable patient lift, was born out of personal experience and necessity.
The original HelpR was designed to assist a patient weighing over 350 lbs who suffered from Alzheimer's and experienced frequent falls. In a rural setting where professional help could be delayed by up to an hour and a half, we recognized the urgent need for a solution to safely lift and transfer patients without relying on external assistance.

- Compact design: It can access tight spaces with a small foot print.
- High weight capacity: Capable of lifting patients weighing up to 450 lbs.

The HelpR is designed for use in various settings, including homes, healthcare facilities, and emergency services.
