A transfer device that transforms your life
Independent living starts here
What can the autonomous transfer device Struzzo do to make your life easier ?
the innovation transformation
from sitting to standing to driving
Daily transfers with the need for assistance from others is a thing of the past. Making transfers without the help of others, is the future and the future is now.
With the help of the Struzzo your life will get that much easier. It will take you around the house when and where you want. To the bathroom for a shower or visit to the toilet, to the kitchen to prepare a meal, to the sofa for a relaxing evening and in and out of bed.
You decide and you choose.
My mission is to make the Struzzo available for all those who are still dependent upon assistance but really don’t need to be.

Struzzo features
what makes the Struzzo special
No Slings required
The Struzzo is a hoist without slings. With 5 adjustable and stable points that keep your body in place, there is no need for slings. Struzzo is like a first DIY lifter, Do-It-Yourself, transfer yourself!
No ability to stand required
The most quick but wrong assumption that people make, is to think that you need to be able to stand for usage of Struzzo. This is nót a requirement.
Transfers to freedom
At the time you want to and at the moment you need to...Struzzo is there for you to make the transfers of your choosing.
Driving
Moving around is good for all of us and trains the senses. With a joystick at your hand, you can go places, in and around the house, provided that spaces, like a garden, are adapted for wheelchair usage.
Remote control
This latest Struzzo innovation was on many people's wish-list. By wearing a keycord with the remote control, Struzzo is ready when needed and out of the way when parked elsewhere.
Personalised
All users are different, we know this well! Hence a range of accessories and personalised adaptations to fit all needs is available to you.

Not taking 'no' for an answer
Lifting yourself in a sling, was not Hans his idea of a dignified transfer. As an 'early adopter' he has been key person in showing and telling others what place Struzzo has in his life.

Tim
No Struzzo-No job!
Early adaptor Tim realised at first seeing the Struzzo in 2010 that it would be the solution. He was depending on others for his daily routines which made it impossible to plan his day properly. Finding employment was difficult. The Struzzo changed all that and Tim found a job soon after. And is still, 14 years later, working and leads a full and active life.

Struzzo history..
In order to understand the significance of the Struzzo, it is good to look at the history of lifting people.
- Throughout history lifts were self made, with a hook, rope and a piece of cloth.
- Professional lifters were introduced on large scale around 1990 with professional care takers in mind.
- A third category of lifting is currently happening: from 1e passive lifting, to 2e active lifting to 3e autonomic lifting. It shows the emancipation in the world of lifting for a different kind of participation from and with the cliënt/patiënt.
Development
The lifting journey over many years has been from passive lifting, to active lifting, and now AUTONOMOUS lifting.
Creativity
To move forward.. literally. The unique design of Struzzo, inspired by a professional engineer with a muscular disease, who did not want to settle for less. The first wooden Struzzo was a fact.
Standing is emotional
Why many people shed a tear when standing since a long time. Why many people like to have their picture taken when standing in Struzzo and close to a partner, friend or spouse.
The option
The strain of manual lifting and manouvering manual hoists has been studied for years. The effect on family carers, and professional carers can be significant. Sometimes there are options.
We are looking for dealers. Dedicated dealers and therapists.
In France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Luxemburg, Finland.

If a trial period is needed, discuss this with the local dealer.

When your Struzzo is ready for delivery at your home, we make an appointment including the instruction. The Struzzo will be set to your body seize and condition. Some manoeuvres will be practised. Sometimes it is useful a therapist is on location as well.
