Portable Patient Lift - Compact Folding Full Body Patient Transfer Lifter

Don’t pay more for a hoyer lift! This one is very Easy to operate- 30 minutes to assemble. Battery was 7/8 charged when it arrived. Needed for mother who broke ankle and was non-weight bearing for 6 weeks. Moved from bed, to wheelchair, to recliner chair no problems. Step down pedal to widen base (to straddle chairs) easy to operate even with person in lift! Very sturdy and worked smoothly. Locking mechanism very easy to lock and unlock- just step down. Nurses aides were very impressed with operation. Most importantly, mom felt safe and secure! Great product.

Follow-up review: Once battery issue was resolved it has worked as design without any issues. If you live in an area with fluctuating electric issues you want to purchase a back-up battery.Original review: The hoist is great when it is working. Stopped working after a few weeks and it appeared to be a control board. Got the new control board now battery not working. The company does not return calls. Once you get them on the phone they are helpful. At this point they are impacting the quality of life of my loved one because I can not get it to work.

We needed a lift that would extend to floor level. This device does that. Assembly - fortunately I have a son who is an EMT and works in a hospital ER. He knew exactly how to assemble it and had it done in 30 minutes. If you're not handy, use Amazon's assembly service. You'll only need the cloth support swing in most cases. Construction is solid; we tested it out. It's rated for 500 lbs. Medium priced and probably is tax deductible depending on your tax situation (if you itemize and have sufficient amount of medical deductions which we do). Definitely buy a battery operated one.

Received the lift in two days from Amazon. Box weighs 109 lbs., I'm old and arthritic so I got help from my wife's aide to just slide it across the floor. It was well packaged, undamaged and although the assembly instructions and images aren't top notch, it was pretty intuitive as to how it went together. I was able to assemble it without any help in about 30 minutes. Battery was completely drained on arrival and took 15 hours to charge. The lift first responded to movement after 9 hours. Used the lift 4 times the first day and it took 4 1/2 hours to completely recharge. The lift is extremely stable (heavier than our old Hoyer) and very easy to maneuver. The chains from our old Hoyers would not fit on the spreader bar (hooks are too wide to fit into the chain links. Fortunately, I also bought some Drive belts recommended by Amazon and they work nicely. The sling, also recommended by Amazon (large mesh) was not suitable. The position of my wife in transferring her to the wheelchair was too much on her back, even with the top straps at shortest and leg straps at longest. Had to go back to our old sling which is not available from Hoyer any longer, but found a new one from Invacare. There were no instructions included about how to use the emergency lowering device, but I found a video on a different product where it was demonstrated. Now I'm concerned about what happens if the battery pack gives out and we need to lift. We use the lift 4 - 7 times each day. I want to order another pack as backup, and the manual lists the part number, but the company's web site gives no indication at all on ordering any of the replacement parts. I'll have to call them this week, and have stored the old Hoyer until I get this backup. I easily taught our main aide how to use the lift and she is ecstatic as to its ease of use over our old model. Overall I think it was a very good buy and I am pleased.

Outstanding product. Was able to lift 350 lbs from off of the floor to bed. Amazing 😉
