Mobile Hoists

At Oxford Healthcare, we strive to provide equipment and solutions for a range of care environments. We understand that the level of care required can vary, as can the amount of space available. With this in mind, our leading range of mobile hoists are purpose designed to support the safe lifting and transfer of patients, as well as alleviating the strains and stresses on caregivers caused by manual lifting techniques and an absence of suitable assistive equipment.

Oxford Advance Hoist

A compact, folding mobile patient lift, the Oxford Advance is one of the most functional hoists on the market. Its versatility and feature set lend itself to both homecare and nursing institutions with its space-saving footprint being ideal where space comes at a premium.

Versatility

As mentioned above, the Oxford Advance is incredibly versatile and suitable for a variety of patient handling tasks including:

  • Bed to chair transfers
  • Floor to bed transfers
  • Chair to bath transfers
  • Toileting transfers

Space-Saving

The Oxford Advance Hoist is designed to suit environments where space may be a limiting factor. With its angular leg design, it can more easily navigate around furniture or other equipment, enabling closer more effective contact with the patient. When the lift is not in use, it is quickly and easily folded for storage purposes without the need for tools. It can also be wheeled whilst in the folded position to ease the manual effort of transportation and will fit into the boot of most family saloons, making it an ideal hoist for travelling outside the confines of the home.

Using The Hoist

The Oxford Advance hoist has a safe working load of 155kg (24st) and can be used with a wide range of passive style slings to meet the patient’s needs. The standard spreader bar can also be swapped out for an optional 4-point positioning cradle to allow the attachment of clip style slings if required. Once a patient is fitted in a suitable sling and attached to the hoist, lifting is effortless using the intuitive hand control.

The Advance is also equipped with the Oxford Smart Monitor control box offering a wealth of diagnostic and usage data. The intelligent system records lift cycles, attempted overloads as well as offering a handy service reminder, helping to ensure your lift is kept in optimum condition for longer.

The Smart Monitor is specifically calibrated to the Advance and has inbuilt safety mechanisms to ensure high levels of safety. These include: a quick-access emergency stop button and on-board emergency controls in the unlikely event of a handset failure. Additionally, to further mitigate risk, the intelligent software prevents excessive loads (above the lift’s maximum capacity) being lifted and recording any attempts to do so.

A free standing off-board charger allows charging away from the hoist and by investing in an additional battery pack, you can ensure your lift is always ready for use. The charger can also be wall mounted for added convenience.
