Description
The Neptune Bathlift is a quality bathlift manufactured in the UK to the highest standards It has the smallest footprint of any bathlift of its kinds ensuring the optimum bathing experience. The Neptune has been chosen as contract Bathlift for social services for many years thanks to its sturdy construction and market leading compact design. It has been designed in close consultation with both professional carers and a variety of users, to ensure that it offers an excellent bathing experience. The Neptune offers impressive legroom, sits low in the bath and is one of the lightest battery-powered bath lifts available. Neptune’s unique design also allows fitment in almost any style of bath, making it a highly versatile and great all-round bath lift.
Suits virtually all baths for an enhanced bathing experience as the seat locates at very back of bath making the Neptune suitable for short baths and taller users and creating fewer obstructions for transfer on and off lift . The short footprint ensures the suckers avoid most rippled bath surfaces for stability. The flexible suckers coupled with the neat frame and seat ensure an unconstrained fit in narrow and kidney-shaped baths. The contoured side flaps avoid most bath handles for unobstructed use. A low seat height at bottom of bath maximises water immersion in shallow baths which is also good for homes with water meters.
Optional extra-wide side flaps provide safe transfer platform and maximise legroom in corner baths. A High seat travel provides level transfer in deep baths
Easy to move and handle.
Total weight of only 9.5kg reduces risk of moving and handling injuries. A compact design means that the seat curves around the body when being lifted and allows unobstructed view when carrying. The design also ensures space-saving storage at home and in car. The Neptune separates into 2 lightweight sections which reduces back strain when fitting and removing and limits stooping or stretching when lifting in and out of bath.
Hygienic and simple to clean.
The Neptune bathlift features smooth, accessible and crevice-free surfaces ensuring dirt and used water are not trapped. This makes cleaning quick and easy. It also has a silver-based antimicrobial solution which protects against harmful bacteria and bathroom mould. The streamlined framework provides access to bath for cleaning with lift in situ
Safe and easy to use.
The waterproof, slim-line hand control can be held and operated in one hand and can be easily stuck to most bathroom surfaces. The large, textured rocker switches are easy to operate for people with limited dexterity or visual impairment and can be pressed by heel of hand or elbow. The battery level indicator monitors when recharging is required. A Stop Descent feature will not lower user without enough battery power to rise.
As with all our portable bathlift models, we strongly recommend you consider our enhanced Delivery by Engineer and 12 months enhanced warranty support. This means your bath lift will be assembled for you, the packaging will be removed and you will receive a demonstration. The extended warranty includes free labour within the first 12 months to carry out any works required that are under warranty.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Neptune Bathlift?
The Neptune Bathlift is an electric bath lift designed to help people lower themselves into and raise themselves out of the bath. It provides a supportive bathing seat with waterproof controls for comfortable and more independent bathing.
Who is the Neptune Bathlift suitable for?
The Neptune Bathlift may be suitable for people who can transfer safely onto a bath lift seat but have difficulty lowering themselves into the bath or getting back up afterwards. Individual mobility, balance and transfer requirements should always be considered.
How does the Neptune Bathlift work?
The user transfers onto the bath lift seat and operates the electric lifting mechanism using the controls. The seat lowers the user into the bath and raises them again when bathing is finished.
Is the Neptune Bathlift electric?
Yes. The Neptune is an electric bath lift, providing powered raising and lowering rather than requiring the user or carer to manually lift the seat.
Does the Neptune Bathlift have waterproof controls?
Yes. The Neptune Bathlift features waterproof controls designed for use in the bathing environment. Always follow the manufacturer's operating and charging instructions.
Can the Neptune Bathlift help me get in and out of the bath?
Yes. The Neptune is designed to make lowering into and raising out of the bath easier. Users still need to be able to safely transfer onto and off the bath lift, either independently or with appropriate assistance.
Can I use the Neptune Bathlift independently?
For a suitable user, the electric lifting system and waterproof controls can support more independent bathing. Whether independent use is appropriate depends on the person's ability to transfer, sit safely and operate the controls.
Is the Neptune Bathlift comfortable?
The Neptune is designed to provide a comfortable seated position while bathing. Individual comfort will also depend on posture, positioning and whether additional accessories or support are required.
Will the Neptune Bathlift fit my bath?
Bath dimensions and shapes vary, so compatibility should be checked before ordering. Compare the current Neptune Bathlift dimensions and fitting requirements with the internal dimensions and shape of your bath.
Does the Neptune Bathlift require permanent installation?
Check the current manufacturer's fitting instructions for the precise installation requirements. The bath lift must always be correctly positioned and secured before use.
How low does the Neptune Bathlift go?
The Neptune is designed to lower the user into the bath to provide a comfortable bathing position. Refer to the current technical specification for the exact minimum seat height if bathing depth is particularly important.
How high does the Neptune Bathlift raise?
The seat raises towards the top of the bath to make transferring out easier. Check the current manufacturer's specification for the precise maximum seat height and compare this with your bath if necessary.
What is the maximum user weight for the Neptune Bathlift?
Always refer to the current manufacturer's specification for the Neptune Bathlift's maximum user weight or safe working load. Never exceed the stated limit.
Can a carer assist someone using the Neptune Bathlift?
Yes, where appropriate. The amount of assistance required will depend on the individual's mobility, balance and transfer requirements. Carers should follow the manufacturer's instructions and any relevant moving and handling plan.
What is the difference between the Neptune Bathlift and an inflatable bath lift?
The Neptune uses an electric lifting mechanism and supportive seat to raise and lower the user. An inflatable bathing cushion changes height through inflation and deflation. The most suitable design depends on the user's transfers, posture, support requirements and preferred bathing position.
How do I know whether the Neptune Bathlift is suitable for me?
Consider your ability to transfer safely onto and off the seat, maintain an appropriate sitting position and operate the controls. You should also check that the lift is compatible with your bath. Professional assessment can be useful for people with more complex mobility or postural requirements.
How should I clean and maintain the Neptune Bathlift?
Clean and maintain the Neptune Bathlift according to the manufacturer's instructions. Regular inspection and correct care of the electrical components, controls and battery system will help keep the lift ready for use.
