A lift platform (1) comprises a peripheral frame of orthogonal members (2,3,4,5) each supported on a pivoting wheel or castor (7). A pantograph mechanism (11,12), operates through a remotely controlled (26) electrically powered pneumatic rod & cylinder assembly (25) to raise/lower a stand (22) of sufficient dimensions for an individual to stand or sit thereon. Handles (23,24) are provided to enable an individual to guide the platform (1) into position. A removable cushioned mat (27) is positioned on the upper surface of the stand (22). The platform (1) is wheeled to its desired use position and the stand (22) is placed at its lowest position. The user either sits or stands on the stand (22) and then activates the pantograph (11,12) using the remote control (26) to raise the stand (22) to the required height. Once at the required height, the user can vacate the stand (22) and transfer to a bath, bed or commode, etc.
