Classic Hoyer Lift

Very little. Will lift a patient to full height if patient is willing to bang into mast

Terrible wheel lock which locks rolling only (only one.All 4 of our old ones had 2 on back wheels which locked rolling and spinning) Boom is so short patient hits mast upon raising. Handle on pump blocks pressure release unless in down position which makes it dangerous to walk from side to side when handling patient. Hydraulics placed where patient legs get tangled. Not well thought out from patients POV.

Not provided

The brake mechanism on the caster wheel does not clear the Hoyer frame and gets caught on the base frame when the wheel rotates This not only prevents you from pushing the lift but cause you to stop suddenly. This is dangerous to the person in the lift. In addition, the handle used to pump the lift up and down began squeaking after only 10 transfers.
