Description
The Mangar Camel Lifting Cushion is a portable, inflatable lifting aid we recommend for situations where a safe, dignified recovery after a fall is essential — both for the individual and for the person providing care.
Designed to lift a person from floor level to a seated position, the Camel removes the need for manual lifting, significantly reducing the risk of injury to carers while helping the individual feel supported and secure throughout the process.
Why We Recommend It
We recommend the Mangar Camel Lifting Cushion because it delivers a controlled, gradual lift that prioritises safety, comfort, and dignity. Rather than rushing or physically handling a fallen person, the Camel allows the lift to happen in stages, helping to reduce anxiety and distress — particularly for individuals with cognitive impairment or neurological conditions.
The stable base and supportive backrest provide reassurance during the lift and make the Camel especially suitable for frail users and bariatric care, with a maximum user weight of 320 kg. Each section inflates independently, giving carers control over the lifting process and making it suitable for single-handed care when required.
From a practical point of view, the Camel is easy to set up, intuitive to use, and requires very little training. It is powered by an Airflo Compressor with a simple hand control, allowing it to be deployed quickly in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Designed to Support Carers
Manual handling after a fall is one of the highest-risk tasks for carers. The Camel Lifting Cushion helps reduce musculoskeletal strain and injury, supporting safer working practices and greater confidence when responding to falls. By offering a reliable lifting solution, it also reduces the stress and uncertainty that can arise in these situations.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Design
The Camel is manufactured from strong, polyurethane-coated nylon, making it durable enough for demanding care environments. It is easy to clean using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and folds away neatly into the supplied carry bag when not in use. Importantly, it does not require LOLER certification, simplifying ongoing maintenance and compliance.
