Once you use it you will immediately realize how beneficial it is and understand why it is our go to lifting tool", Rick Jacobsen, Captain, Des Moines Fire Department.

“Our department recently purchased the JAK harness. I have to say, I am impressed with how much we use it. The elderly fall cases are increasing. The ability to safely get folks up from the floor without injuring responders or the patient has been the true benefits we are seeing. Yesterday the patient said, “I really like this” as we assisted them to a car for a doctor’s appointment. The ability to effectively clean the device on scene is also a benefit. I recommend this device over other devices we have tried.”
