The AKKULIFT was developed by German engineers who set out to develop an automatic bath lift that was easy to operate, easy to install, and easy to transport. By any measure they succeeded. To use the AKKULIFT, press a button on the floating hand control and you will be automatically raised or lowered. To install the AKKULIFT, attach the suction cup feet to your bath tub. There is no need to worry about drilling or using any tools. Finally, to transport the AKKULIFT, separate it into two pieces and it is ready to go. The two piece construction makes it an incredibly easy move.
