Hoyer Manual Hydraulic Lift

This listing is Joerns' Hoyer HML400, a manual hydraulic floor lift described for home care. Safe working load is 400 pounds. A caregiver raises the boom with a hydraulic pump. A compatible sling, sized for the person, and a trained caregiver are required. We also carry a more fully specified HML400 Classic listing if you want the complete dimension set.

The pump handle pivots, which lets a caregiver operate it from the left or the right rather than standing on only one side. That is the main operating feature called out for this HML400. Closing and opening the pump is how the boom is raised and lowered; there is no battery or handset on this manual model.

The base is a U-shape whose width can be changed to wrap around a wheelchair or similar furniture, which is how the lift approaches a seated transfer. The unit also comes apart for storage. Exact open and closed widths are not listed on this particular page; the HML400 Classic listing on our site has those figures if you need them before you order.

Both listings identify the Joerns Hoyer HML400, a manual hydraulic floor lift with a 400-pound safe working load and a pump handle that rotates to either side. The Classic listing on our site adds boom range, base clearance and other dimensions that this shorter listing does not include. Compare both pages, or call 1-877-861-8000 on weekdays between 9 AM and 6 PM Pacific.

On this HML400, a caregiver works a hydraulic pump, and the handle can be turned to either side. Safe working load is 400 pounds, and the U-base adjusts around a wheelchair. A powered Hoyer floor lift uses a battery-powered actuator instead of that pump, and is a different product. The choice is about how the boom is raised, plus the capacity you need.
