Tested up to 1700 pounds lifting strength by Underwriters Laboratories, the Doty Belt Patient Lift Assist Harness helps you and your team reduce back injuries, save lost workdays, and lessen financial risks associated with lift injuries.
Developed by retired California Fire Captain Glen Doty after 30 years of emergency response experience, the Doty Belt emerged from a challenging real-world scenario where his crew struggled to safely lift a patient from the ground to her wheelchair.
The resulting product combines practical field experience with rigorous safety engineering, creating a tool that has been tested to UL standards and can handle up to 1,700 pounds of tensile force.
Captain Doty is also an accomplished entrepreneur, having founded the company
Heroes Mushroom Coffee, providing a specialized coffee brew for individuals who desire more than just the typical coffee benefits.
Doty Belt Patient Lift Assist Harness is used by organizations that handle patient lifting and transfers and want to improve caregiver safety and control.
Common users include Fire & EMS teams, hospitals, eldercare and residential care facilities, home health providers, and physical and occupational therapy clinics — anywhere safer assisted lifting and transfer support is needed.
Safer lift assists, fewer crew injuries, and better control in tight spaces.

The Doty Belt is an ergonomic patient lift assist that significantly reduces back injuries for caregivers and first responders. It provides secure grip points and a broad contact area on the patient, enabling lifters to maintain proper posture and distribute weight effectively.
This design minimizes awkward bending and twisting, protecting the spine from strain during transfers. The belt enhances both professional safety and patient dignity.
Accommodates waist sizes from 17" to 88" with five size configurations, including extra-large bariatric models.
Doty Belt’s multiple secure grip points reinforce ergonomic lifting positions while lifting patients.
Patients experience less discomfort during lifting because Doty Belt spreads the lifting forces across both the waist and thigh areas.
Doty Belt’s innovative leg straps prevent the sliding problem commonly experienced with gait belts.
