Hydrolift Whirlpool Systems for Extremity and Podiatry Therapy

A Hydrolift is a height adjustable stand that carries an extremity or podiatry whirlpool tank, so the tank can be raised or lowered to the patient and the clinician rather than sitting at a fixed bench height. MSEC stocks the Hydrolift on its own for 10, 15 and 22 gallon tanks, and as mobile units supplied with a tank, inside the Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs line.

Which Hydrolift Configurations Are Stocked in This Category?

Four configurations are listed, one lift on its own and three mobile combinations supplied with a tank. The split matters, because it is the difference between adding a lift to tanks you already own and buying a complete treatment station.

Hydrolift for Whirlpool Tub Tanks 10/15/22 Gallon. The lift supplied on its own, listed for 10, 15 and 22 gallon tanks.
Mobile Hydrolift w/ 22 Gallon Extremity Whirlpool. The largest of the combinations, with a 22 gallon extremity tank on a mobile lift.
Mobile Hydrolift w/ 15 Gallon Extremity Whirlpool. A 15 gallon extremity tank on a mobile lift, the middle capacity in the group.
Mobile Hydrolift w/ 10 Gallon Podiatry Whirlpool. A 10 gallon podiatry tank on a mobile lift, the smallest capacity listed here.

Capacity and tank type track together across the three combinations: the two extremity tanks are the 15 and 22 gallon units, and the podiatry tank is the 10 gallon unit. Confirm the tank, the lift and the turbine arrangement on the current manufacturer specification before ordering any of them.

Should You Order the Hydrolift Alone or a Mobile Unit With the Tank?

Order the lift on its own when you already own tanks in 10, 15 or 22 gallon capacities and want to change how they are used. Order a mobile combination when you are adding a treatment station rather than upgrading one.

The lift only route is the cheaper one and it suits a clinic whose tanks are sound but sitting on a fixed bench or stand. Before taking it, confirm with the manufacturer that your specific tanks are compatible with the Hydrolift for Whirlpool Tub Tanks 10/15/22 Gallon, since a capacity match on paper is not the same as a confirmed fit. Send us the tank model you own and we will check it rather than letting you discover the answer on delivery day.

The combination route removes that question entirely, because the tank and the lift are supplied as one item with one specification sheet and one set of parts. It is the straightforward choice for a new treatment room, for a replacement of an old tank and stand together, or for any facility that does not want to manage compatibility between two purchases. Ask us to price both routes if you are genuinely undecided, since the comparison often turns on the age and condition of the tanks you already own.

Which Tank Capacity Belongs on the Hydrolift: 10, 15 or 22 Gallon?

Capacity follows the body region the tank is intended for, which is why the 10 gallon unit in this category is a podiatry whirlpool and the 15 and 22 gallon units are extremity whirlpools. Choose on the treatment the room actually runs rather than on the assumption that a larger tank covers more ground.

10 gallon podiatry. The smallest capacity listed here, supplied as the Mobile Hydrolift w/ 10 Gallon Podiatry Whirlpool for foot focused work.
15 gallon extremity. The middle capacity, supplied as the Mobile Hydrolift w/ 15 Gallon Extremity Whirlpool.
22 gallon extremity. The largest listed here, supplied as the Mobile Hydrolift w/ 22 Gallon Extremity Whirlpool.

Capacity carries three practical consequences beyond the treatment itself: fill time, drain time and the weight the lift and the floor carry when the tank is full. A larger tank takes longer to turn around between patients, which affects how many appointments the room can hold in a day. Work out the turnaround before assuming the largest tank is the flexible choice.

What Does Height Adjustment Change About the Treatment Room?

Height adjustment lets the tank meet the patient where the patient already is, instead of the patient being positioned to suit a fixed bench. That is a workflow and safe handling change, and it is the reason a lift is specified at all.

A tank on a fixed stand sets one working height for every patient and every clinician. A tank on a Hydrolift can be lowered for a patient seated in a chair or a wheelchair and raised for a clinician working at the tank, which takes a good deal of the lifting, bending and repositioning out of the staff routine across a day of appointments. Facilities with a safe patient handling program usually count equipment that removes manual repositioning as part of that program.

Confirm the adjustment range on the manufacturer specification, and confirm whether the adjustment is manual or powered, because that decides whether it can be changed between back to back appointments by one member of staff. If the unit is powered, confirm the electrical supply and where the receptacle sits relative to where the unit will be used. Ask us for the current specification sheet and we will confirm both points before you order.

How Does a Mobile Hydrolift Change Filling and Draining?

Mobility changes where the unit is filled and drained, which is the question most facilities underestimate. A mobile unit can be positioned for treatment anywhere in the room, but water still has to get in and out of the tank, and a full tank is heavy to move.

Plan the route first. Identify where the unit will be filled, where it will be drained and how far it travels between them, then confirm that the floor surface, any thresholds and the doorway widths on that route suit the unit as supplied. Confirm the drain arrangement on the manufacturer specification, including whether draining is by gravity to a floor drain or by pump, since that single detail decides whether the room needs a drain in a specific location.

Casters are the other half of it. Confirm the caster arrangement and whether the unit locks in position for treatment, and check the floor covering will take rolling loads when the tank is full. Water on a hard floor is also a slip risk, so agree the filling and draining routine with the staff who will run it rather than leaving it to be improvised on the first day.

What Should You Confirm on the Specification Sheet Before Ordering a Hydrolift?

Confirm tank compatibility, adjustment range and method, electrical supply, filled weight, caster and floor requirements, drain arrangement, delivery access and serviceable parts before the purchase order is issued. These are heavy items that carry water, so the checks are mechanical, electrical and plumbing related rather than clinical.

Tank compatibility. If you are buying the lift alone, confirm your exact tank against the manufacturer specification, not just the gallon capacity.
Adjustment. The stated range, whether it is manual or powered, and the supply required if powered.
Weight. The unit weight and the weight with the tank filled, checked against floor loading if the room is above grade.
Casters and floor. The caster arrangement, locking, and whether the floor covering suits a rolling load.
Fill and drain. The drain arrangement the manufacturer states, and where the room’s water supply and drain actually are.
Freight access. Crate dimensions against every doorway, corner and elevator on the route, who receives the delivery and whether a liftgate is needed.
Parts. The serviceable part numbers for the turbine, casters and lift components, ordered with the unit.

When Does a Facility Need a Different Whirlpool Configuration Instead?

When the program needs a larger immersion or a fixed installation rather than a height adjustable extremity station, a different configuration in the same line is the right purchase. A Hydrolift is specific: it raises and lowers an extremity or podiatry tank.

Extremity Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs. The same tanks without a lift, where a fixed working height is acceptable and budget matters more than adjustment.
Podiatry Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs. Foot focused tanks specified on their own for a podiatry room.
Lo-Boy Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs. Larger immersion units for programs that go beyond an extremity tank.
Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tub Accessories. The turbines, covers, seating and handling items that finish a hydrotherapy room.

The Hydrotherapy Whirlpool Tubs page compares every tub type in the line, the hydrotherapy rehabilitation tubs clinical guide works the selection through in detail, and the wider rehabilitation equipment line covers the tables, modality units and gym equipment that share the same department.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Hydrolift include a whirlpool tank?

Only in the mobile combinations. The Hydrolift for Whirlpool Tub Tanks 10/15/22 Gallon is the lift supplied on its own for tanks of those capacities, while the Mobile Hydrolift units are supplied with a 10 gallon podiatry, 15 gallon extremity or 22 gallon extremity whirlpool tank. Tell us which route you are taking and we will confirm exactly what ships.

Will the Hydrolift fit a tank we already own?

The lift is listed for 10, 15 and 22 gallon tanks, but a capacity match is not a confirmed fit, so send us the make and model of the tank you own. We will check it against the current manufacturer specification before you order. If it does not fit, a Mobile Hydrolift supplied with its own tank removes the compatibility question entirely.

What is the difference between the 10 gallon podiatry and 15 gallon extremity units?

They are different tank types at different capacities. The Mobile Hydrolift w/ 10 Gallon Podiatry Whirlpool carries a podiatry tank for foot focused work, and the Mobile Hydrolift w/ 15 Gallon Extremity Whirlpool carries a larger extremity tank. Capacity also affects fill and drain time, which changes how many appointments a room can turn around in a day.

Is the height adjustment powered or manual?

Confirm this on the current manufacturer specification for the exact model, and confirm the adjustment range at the same time. The answer matters operationally, because it decides whether one member of staff can change the height between back to back appointments. If the unit is powered, confirm the electrical supply and that a receptacle is available where the unit will be used.

How do these ship, and what access is needed?

They ship as freight. Confirm the crate dimensions against every doorway, corner and elevator on the delivery route, decide who will receive and uncrate the unit, and ask whether a liftgate is needed. Also confirm the assembled dimensions against the room and the fill and drain route, since a unit that clears the door still has to reach a water supply.

What should we have ready when we call about a Hydrolift?

Have the tank capacity or tank model, the room dimensions, the location of the water supply and drain, the floor covering, whether the room is above grade and the delivery access. With that we can confirm which configuration fits, check compatibility if you are buying the lift alone, quote the serviceable parts and give you current availability on one call.
