Drive Medical Sit to Stand Lift, Manual Base (STSM450): Help to Stand, Safely
The Drive Medical Sit to Stand Lift (STSM450) helps a person rise from a chair, bed or wheelchair to a standing position. The person holds the handles, rests their knees against the pad and stands with the lift's help. A battery powered motor does the lifting.
It carries up to 450 lb. The battery and charger are included. The sling is not included; it is sold separately.
What Is a Sit to Stand Lift and Who Is It For?
A sit to stand lift, also called a standing lift, is for a person who can bear most of their own weight but needs help to stand. A sling goes around the lower back. The motor draws the person up and forward into a standing position.
- People who can stand with help but not on their own
- Transfers between a chair, wheelchair, bed and toilet
- Toileting and dressing with less strain on the caregiver
- Home, hospital and long term care settings
It is not for someone who cannot support most of their own weight.
Fits Through Doors
With the legs closed, the base is 24.5 in wide outside, so it rolls through a standard interior door. At the chair or toilet, the shifter handle opens the legs to 41.8 in for more stability. The base sits just 2.7 in off the floor.
Electric Lifting, Manual Legs
A 24 V motor raises and lowers the person with the hand control. If the hand control stops working, backup buttons on the control box still run the lift. An emergency stop button cuts the power, and a manual lowering knob lets you bring the person down if the power fails.
Comfort and support
- Adjustable padded knee pad
- Extra wide non slip footplate, removable
- Upright and level handles to hold
- An alarm sounds if the load goes over 450 lb
Battery and Charging
The removable battery charges in about 4 hours, on the lift or off it. A light on the hand control and a beep warn you when the battery is low. Charge it for 24 hours before the first use.

How to Choose a Patient Lift in Canada
Start with one question: can the person bear weight on their legs? If yes, a sit to stand lift like the STSM450 helps them stand and keeps them moving. If not, choose a full body floor lift. Then check the narrowest doorway on the route.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It is for a person who can bear most of their own weight and hold the handles, but needs help to stand up. Drive says it should not be used for someone who cannot support most of their own weight; a full body floor lift is the right choice then.
-
The battery and charger are included. The sling is not; it is sold separately. The lift has 4 hooks and works with Drive sit to stand slings and most other makers' slings with loop straps.
-
With the legs closed, the base is 24.5 in wide outside, so it rolls through a standard interior door. The shifter handle opens the legs to 41.8 in at the chair, wheelchair or toilet for more stability.
-
The lifting is electric: a 24 V motor raises and lowers the person at the touch of a button. Only the base legs are opened and closed by hand, with a shifter handle. The power base model, STSP450, opens its legs with the motor instead.
-
The removable battery charges in about 4 hours, on the lift or off it. Charge it for 24 hours before first use. A light on the hand control and a beep tell you when it is low; Drive recommends charging it whenever the lift is not in use.
