Kim, you've probably seen the pics of My Little Mule? I bought it because I have a messed up back from lifting a patient years ago, something popped in my low back, no surgeries, but the pain is chronic, but this Modified Hoyer lift, or patient lift is a back saver, and a valuable second hand! You may could find a used patient lift in Craigslist for cheap, say less than 100, them modify the boom as you may see fit

. I have two, one is hydraulic and the other is manual. Something to consider, I lift nothing too heavy or awkward.
