The handle has at least one articulated coupling, via which at least parts of the handle are pivotable or displaceable, and indexed in one or more positions or are infinitely lockable, so that a rapid and easy conversion of Personenhubgerätes in a rollator and vice versa is possible.

It is particularly advantageous if the handle has two arms, which are each connected via a pivot joint with the lifting column and thus each arm is pivotable about a horizontal axis in particular by 360 ° down and / or above the horizontal position.

Furthermore, each articulated arm can be bent one or more times and / or be telescoped and in any desired angling or telescoping, a further horizontally and / or vertically pivotable pivot joint can be present.

At its free ends, the U-shaped bracket has an inwardly directed towards the lifting column angling, which reliably prevents the user from falling down from the platform. These bends can in turn be adjusted adjustable and lockable by a pivot joint on the U-shaped bracket.

For the further additional function of the user's sitting, the standing platform itself can serve, if this is driven by the lifting column a piece vertically upwards.

For the additional functions of sitting and / or supporting the user when walking, standing or in the lifting phase, other optionally adjustable in height and lockable optionally. Padded seats and / or armrests on the lifting column of the person lifting device on the side of the platform and / or the opposite side be provided. This allows a user to sit there while driving up and down.

In particular, padded armrests, especially for the lower arms of a disabled user, are provided on the lifting column of the personal lifting device on the opposite side to the standing platform, which then serve to support and hold the user in the rollator function.

For the other additional functions of parking and hanging objects can be optionally optionally provided in height adjustable and lockable if necessary. Cushioned shelves and / or Einhängevorrichtungen on the lifting column of Personenhubgerätes on the side of the standing platform and / or the opposite side.
