For many people with limited mobility, the fear of falling is more than a passing worry—it’s a daily reality. A single slip can lead to serious injury, and even more painfully, to a loss of independence. For Carlin Nerhus, that fear became all too real after back surgery left her reliant on a wheelchair. “If I go down on the floor—for whatever reason—I can’t get up,” she shared. “This lift raises me up so that I can transfer to my walker and get back in my chair. Nobody gets hurt.”

Carlin’s words reflect the unspoken struggle of countless individuals recovering from surgeries or living with chronic mobility challenges. Each day requires planning, patience, and courage—simple acts like reaching for something on the floor or moving between rooms can carry real danger. For a long time, Carlin depended on others to help her up after falls, but she hated knowing that she was putting her helpers—two active CrossFit enthusiasts—at risk of injury. “It worked for a while,” she said, “but I didn’t want to be responsible for anyone getting hurt.”

Her life took a turn for the better when she discovered the AX08 bath lift, an electric chair lift from floor that completely changed how she managed her condition. She had found it while searching online, hoping for a safe and practical solution. “It seemed like a great idea—and it is—it’s amazing!” she said.

Unlike a traditional bathtub lift for elderly users, Carlin primarily uses the AX08 electric bath lift chair to help her rise from the ground safely after a fall. “I don’t use it for the bathtub,” she explained. “I use it strictly as a lift for elderly from floor. It’s been a total game changer.”

Even healthcare professionals who visited her home were impressed. “I’ve had therapy people who had never seen anything like it—they were amazed,” she recalled. “Even 911 responders were impressed—it made their calls easy once they got me positioned on it.”

For Carlin, the AX08 transfer lift isn’t just about convenience—it’s about reclaiming independence. Its sturdy structure, smooth electric lifting system, and comfortable design allow her to rise safely, without strain or panic. She especially appreciates that the electric bath lift chair can be operated with minimal effort and provides a secure, balanced lift that gives her peace of mind.

Beyond its technology, the emotional impact is profound. “I’m just really thankful for the wonderful option this lift gives me,” Carlin shared. “It’s helped me feel safer, more confident, and less dependent on others. That means everything.”

The AX08 transfer lift represents more than just a piece of equipment—it’s a bridge between fear and freedom. For Carlin, it has transformed moments of helplessness into moments of control. She knows that even if a fall happens, she now has hope—and help—within reach.

Carlin’s story is a heartfelt reminder that innovation and compassion can coexist. Devices like the AX08 electric bath lift chair are not just products; they are promises—promises of safety, dignity, and independence. And for those living with mobility limitations, that promise is priceless.

Her message to others is simple yet powerful: “Don’t wait until you’re in crisis to find a solution. This lift isn’t just a device—it’s peace of mind.”
