6 Ways Maxi Move® 5 floor lift enhances versatile nursing practice
The Maxi Move 5 is more than a floor lift—it’s a versatile clinical partner designed to support a wide range of patient handling tasks across care environments. Whether you're repositioning in bed, supporting rehabilitation, or facilitating transfers, Maxi Move 5 adapts to your workflow with intuitive technology and ergonomic design.
In this article, we introduce six clinical application videos that demonstrate how Maxi Move 5 enhances care delivery, reduces caregiver strain, and promotes better outcomes.
1. Prone positioning in bed
Prone positioning is a critical intervention in respiratory care, especially in acute settings. Maxi Move 5 enables safe and controlled prone positioning with minimal manual handling. Its Powered Dynamic Positioning System (PDPS) allows for precise adjustments, reducing the need for multiple caregivers and minimizing patient discomfort.
2. Repositioning in bed
From bed boosting to limb support and linen changes, Maxi Move 5 simplifies complex repositioning tasks. The Motion Assist™ system responds to natural caregiver movements—push, pull, and pivot—making in-bed care more intuitive and less physically demanding. This section includes demonstrations of:
- Bed boosting
- Limb support
- Turning assist

Each task is executed with ergonomic precision, supporting both patient dignity and caregiver safety.
