What impressed me about the TRAM is that it serves a real need. It’s a clever and thoughtful use of existing technology that really empowers both the patient and caregiver. I haven’t seen anything this innovative in adaptive equipment in a long time.

Sit-to- Stand

Seated Transfers

I have been showing the Rifton TRAM for about six months now and I have had nothing but positive feedback and rave reviews from my customers.

One customer needed a lift device that she could use alone to care for her mother and to give her the opportunity to bear weight safely. Another customer needed several devices for transfer, standing, gait training and weighing. The TRAM has allowed him to resume gait training, transfer safely, and be weighed regularly, all while being safely supported in one device that can be operated with only one staff.

It’s almost too good to be true. Great job, Rifton!

Transfer. Sit-to-Stand. Ambulate. All with One Device.

No other device on the market offers as much versatility as the Rifton TRAM.

A smartly engineered telescoping column gives the TRAM its low profile, providing patients with the security and dignity of unobstructed eye contact with their caregivers and surroundings.

The TRAM’s walking saddle makes it easy for a caregiver to assist a patient up to a standing position – regardless of the caregiver or patient’s size. With the TRAM, the transition from sitting to standing and back down again is both safe and simple.

The TRAM provides safe, supported ambulation without using additional floor space or staff. The walking saddle eliminates a patient’s fear of falling, allowing for increased focus on essential tasks while maintaining or regaining the ability to walk.

We have purchased five Rifton TRAMs that are being used at our three program sites.Now,forthefirsttime,wecansaythatwearea“nolift”program.Wehaveabout 65 employees serving 150 clients with a wide variety of physical disabilities, but we have not had a single injury since we started using the TRAMs. We have lowered our mod rate from 235 to 150 which has saved our company almost $100,000 this year in workers’ comp premiums.

We were impressed with the amount of thought and detail you put into the device. The passion that went into the product really showed. As a designer of rehab equipment I realize the difficulty in designing for multiple users in low volume manufacturing.

Engineered to accommodate patients of varying sizes and body types, the TRAM fits seamlessly into any environment and is easily adopted by multiple caregivers.
