Hoyer Patient Lifts

Get to Know Hoyer Mobility Patient Lifts

As a caregiver, you want to keep your patient as comfortable as possible while staying safe yourself. Moving someone from a bed to a chair or wheelchair can be difficult for one person, but Hoyer hydraulic patient lifts can make the job much easier for both yourself and your patient while giving you peace of mind.

Hoyer hydraulic patient lift and sling systems have a number of features that offer strength and reliability to you, the caregiver, and your patients such as:

• Weight capability of up to 450 pounds
• Unique configurations to fit various room dimensions
• Manual or electric hydraulics
• Adjustable sling positions to accommodate patients comfortably

These lifts are wheeled with casters, and the slings will distribute your patient's weight evenly to allow you to be able to move the lift without fear of overbalancing or tipping as long as its weight limit is not exceeded. Many Hoyer lift models offer oversized handles and footpads for increased maneuverability. When choosing a lift, you'll also need to consider the size of the patient as well as the room in which it will be used.

With a Hoyer lift and slings, you will be able to move your patient to and from a bed, wheelchair, or stationary chair. Depending on the model you choose, you may be able to move a patient from the floor if necessary. The Hoyer lift and slings can also be used to move your patient from a lying or sitting position to a fully standing position and vice-versa.

With Hoyer lifts and slings, you have your choice of either a manual or motorized pump. If you've owned lifts before and are familiar with their operation, a manual lift may suit your purposes. If you are smaller or haven't previously operated a lift, you might consider a motorized device, which has more mobility. Compare both types of lift and sling systems and decide what machine will fit your particular circumstances.
