The Kera sit2sit is a state-of-the-art, New Zealand-made transfer hoist designed to enable safe transfers from one seated position to another with only one carer.

Featuring a backstrap and chestpad to securely position the person during transfers. This unique device makes it easy for a single carer to quickly and safely transfer and perform hygiene activities for individuals who cannot stand or maintain balance. By doing away with cumbersome and uncomfortable hoists, as well as the practice of multiple transfers for clothing removal and hygiene, the Kera sit2sit is a practical solution for carers.

The Kera is lightweight, maneuverable, and has a small footprint, making it easy to store and transport in your home

Please be aware that the Kera is available in four configurations, depending on the needs of the user or the facility. Please contact us so that we can ascertain the configuration needed  to provide an accurate quote for a Kera, or scroll down to view the configurations to assist in determining what you will need.

What comes with the KeraSit2Sit?

Backstrap

The Backstrap is a key part of the system unique to the Kera sit2sit

The Backstrap is quickly and easily fitted behind the back of the user and then tightened against the Chestpad to lift and support the user (even if they are non weight bearing) throughout the transfer.

Chestpad

The Chestpad is the main part of the unique system on the Kera sit2sit that holds the user comfortably, safely, and securely throughout the transfer.

The Chestpad is made from layers of foam for comfort and the 4-way stretch medical grade vinyl is easily wiped clean

Kera Testimonials

We were at a loss before you came along. I can manage here at home by myself... and Jean doesn't have to go into a rest home.

Erik

...now. she no longer stands the Kera is the ideal progression... its a one person job.

Cornelia, Deborah's Caregiver

The Kera hoist is the most important thing we have and we absolutley cannot do without it. It is the only thing that makes it possible to care for my husband at home. We would be doomed without it.

Ava Watson

I fitted the shorter handle today and we are extremely happy to see that that aid can now go from the lounge through to the bedroom and even into the bathroom which is a very tight turn! Everyone is really really happy that we finally have a great solution that will enable Cliff to be transferred by one person and will be able to be transferred safely without multiple steps. It has been really difficult to find a solution for Cliff due to his complex disability and a somewhat challenging environment!
