HeatTrack manufactures a line of heated walkway and stair mats used to melt snow to reduce slips and falls in the workplace. The mats are made of natural rubber, melt 2 inches of snow per hour and use 40 watts of energy per square foot. The mats can be left outside for the entire winter season and provide an alternative to calcium chloride, which is also used to melt outside snow.

Liko Inc., a supplier of patient lifts, has introduced a new family of general-purpose mobile lifts. Designated the “Viking Series,” the new lifts accommodate the needs of a range of lifting situations, patient sizes and medical conditions. The lifts are offered in four separate models, S, M, L, and XL, to enable matching of lift size and capacity to patient size and condition.
The company uses lightweight materials in the construction of the lifts. The lifts are manufactured of aircraft-grade extruded aluminum for strength, corrosion resistance and attractive appearance.

The chair features a seat lifting mechanism that lifts the user in a more vertical posture from the chair, which helps reduce the feeling of being pushed out of the chair. The chair’s smaller profile makes it suited for small spaces such as apartments and physicians’ offices.
The lift chair is available in fabric or vinyl upholstery and features small wheels mounted on the rear legs that allow it to be moved within a room, between rooms or within a common area.

The chair’s combination of design and function is made possible by Uplift’s patented LeveLift — a flexible seat designed to move up and down on a level lifting plane. The user remains safely seated on a level surface through all stages of the lift.
The chair is also a solution for those with small living spaces, and can be placed close to the wall without hampering function.
