Abstract: Means for lifting a handicapped or otherwise disabled person from a sitting position and moving such person to another area, as for a bath, use of a toilet or different seating, comprising an open torso support formed of a rigid transverse member, such member having an inner wall adapted to fit across the person's abdominal area, and a vertical outer wall supporting a pair of vertical elements spaced apart from each other and having rearwardly extending arcuate arm supports. The torso support is pivotally attached to lifting means such as a hydraulically constructed "cherry picker" lift, or an overhead lifting cable.
