Electric patient lifts
Electric lifts raise and lower a person at the press of a button, which takes the pumping effort off the caregiver. This collection includes Joerns Hoyer, ArjoHuntleigh, Etac Molift and Medline models.
Floor lifts
Models such as the Hoyer Presence, Hoyer Stature and Arjo Maxi Move lift a person in a full-body sling. The Hoyer Calibre is a bariatric model.
Portable lifts
The Molift Smart 150 and Hoyer Advance-E are lighter lifts that can be folded or taken apart for travel or storage.
Stand assists
The Hoyer Journey and Hoyer Elevate help users who can bear some weight. See sit-to-stand lifts.
Floor space and storage
Check the lift's base width when open and closed, the turning space it needs, and the height range of the boom against your bed, chair and toilet. Portable lifts fold for storage, while full-size lifts usually stay assembled. Larger facility lifts such as the Arjo Maxi Twin need more floor space.
Batteries
Most electric lifts use a rechargeable battery and a wall charger. Many caregivers keep a spare battery charged, and replacement batteries and chargers are listed for several Hoyer models.
Before you order
- User weight and the lift's safe working load
- Clearance under the bed and base width
- Sling type and size approved by the maker
- Battery and charger setup
Training
Caregivers should learn how to fit the sling and use the emergency lowering control before the first transfer.
Lifts cannot be returned, so please confirm measurements, capacity and fit with us before you order. Call 1-877-861-8000.
Electric Patient Lift: frequently asked questions
What is an electric patient lift?
An electric patient lift uses a battery-powered actuator to raise and lower a person in a sling, instead of a hand pump.
Which brands do you carry?
Joerns Hoyer, ArjoHuntleigh Maxi lifts, Etac Molift and Medline, among others.
What is the difference between a floor lift and a stand assist?
A floor lift raises a person fully in a sling. A stand assist, such as the Hoyer Journey or Elevate, helps someone who can bear some weight rise to standing.
Do lifts come with a sling?
It depends on the model. Check the listing, and use a sling the lift maker approves for that lift.
Can I return a patient lift?
Lifts cannot be returned, so please confirm measurements, capacity and fit with us before you order. Call us at 1-877-861-8000, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM PT.
