Zusammenfassung:A patient lift comprises a base (16) extending in a forward direction (19) and a mast (30) having a lower end, the lower end of the mast (30) mounted relative to the base (16). The mast (30) includes a hinge mechanism (32) configured to allow substantially linear movement of the mast (30) relative to the base (16) between an operative position and an initial pivot position. The hinge mechanism (32) is further configured to allow pivotal movement of the mast (30) relative to the base (16) between the initial pivotal position and a folded position. The hinge mechanism (32) is further configured to prevent linear movement of the mast (30) relative to the base (16) when the mast (30) has been pivotally moved from the initial pivotal position toward the folded position.
