Mobile Hoists & Patient Mobile Lifting Equipment | Medaco

Browse mobile hoists & patient lifting equipment at Medaco. Folding, portable & bariatric hoists for safe transfers in homes, care homes & schools.

Mobile hoists are essential patient lifting equipment in care homes, hospitals and schools, helping service users move safely from a bed, chair or the floor while giving carers a secure way to work. Because a mobile patient hoist needs no fixed installation, it can be wheeled wherever a transfer is needed.

Medaco offers a wide range of mobile hoists, from folding mobile hoists and portable hoists that are easy to transport and store, to heavy-duty and bariatric mobile lifting equipment built for regular use in busy care settings. Our team can provide expert advice to help you choose the right hoist for the user’s needs and the environment where they will be lifted and transferred.

Mobile Hoists & Patient Mobile Lifting Equipment | FAQs

Choosing the Right Mobile Hoist

The right hoist depends on the service user’s weight and mobility, the types of transfer needed, and the space available. A compact folding mobile hoist suits smaller rooms and travel, while a larger portable lifting hoist or bariatric model is better suited to higher weight capacities and regular use. For help comparing options, read our guide to choosing a mobile hoist or our roundup of the best mobile hoists for care homes.

Mobile Hoists and Standing Aids

A mobile hoist performs a full lift for users who can offer little or no support themselves. A standing aid, or sit-to-stand device, is designed for users who can bear some of their own weight and need assistance moving from sitting to standing. Explore our standing and transfer aids range, or read how to choose the right standing aid.

Slings and Accessories

Every safe transfer relies on the correct sling. We supply a full range of patient slings, including clip-fixing slings and loop-fixing slings compatible with our mobile hoists, plus spare parts and mobile hoist accessories. If you are unsure which to choose, see the different types of slings for hoists.

Servicing, Maintenance and LOLER Inspections

To stay safe and compliant, mobile hoists should be serviced every year and undergo a LOLER examination every six months, alongside daily pre-use checks by carers. Medaco offers hoist servicing and maintenance agreements covering annual servicing, LOLER inspections for patient lifting equipment and emergency repair call-outs. Learn the difference between a LOLER inspection and an annual service, and follow our guide to mobile hoist safety checks before each use.

What is a mobile hoist?

A mobile hoist is a wheeled, battery-powered lifting device that safely transfers a service user with limited mobility between a bed, chair, wheelchair or the floor. Unlike a fixed system, it can be moved freely between rooms.

What type of sling should I use with a mobile hoist?

This depends on the user’s needs and the hoist’s attachment type. We supply both clip-fixing slings and loop-fixing slings; read more on the different types of slings for hoists.

What safety checks should be carried out before using a mobile hoist?

Carers should inspect the sling and attachments, check the battery and handset cable, and ensure the wheels move freely before every transfer. Follow our guide to mobile hoist safety checks before each use.

Can mobile hoists be used at home?

Yes. Lightweight folding and portable models are well suited to home care, and Medaco can deliver, set up and demonstrate the right hoist for the home environment.

What is the weight capacity of a mobile hoist?

Capacities vary by model, typically from around 150 kg up to 300 kg or more for bariatric hoists. Always choose a hoist rated comfortably above the user’s weight.

Do mobile hoists require servicing and maintenance?

Yes. Mobile hoists must be serviced annually and have a LOLER examination every six months. Medaco’s hoist servicing and maintenance agreements keep your equipment safe and compliant.
