The Oxford Advance – Compact Folding Hoist

Summary: Oxford Healthcare is a leading compact hoist supplier and the home of the Oxford Advance Portable Hoist. Perfect for tight spaces, this foldable device supports various transfers, ensuring mobility assistance beyond the confines of home.

Mobile hoists offer a wide range of benefits and can be a valuable backup for when an overhead hoist isn’t available, or when structural demands cannot be met. The Advance folding hoist opens up more opportunities for the user, such as going away on vacation or travelling to friends and family.

Oxford Advance Compact Hoist

The Oxford Advance passive style mobile compact hoist is a compact fold-away device, perfect for areas that have limited space. Despite its compact footprint, the hoist has a safe working capacity of 155kg (24st)m making it more than capable of performing a wide range of transfers and tasks, safely. Some of these include:

– Bed to Chair
– Chair to Chair
– Floor to Chair
– Chair to Bath

Cleverly designed adjustable angled legs which can also be opened via the convenient foot pedal, allow this compact hoist to get closer to wide furniture. It is ideal when deploying the lift around large chairs, wheelchairs, and bulky commodes.

An optional 4-point positioning cradle ensures full compatibility with all Oxford passive slings. The Advance is compatible with loop style slings as standard but can be retrofitted with a shallow 4-point manual cradle to expand this compatibility with clip style slings. The Advance is highly adaptable in a range of environments, whether it’s being used to transfer from the floor, a low bed, wheelchair, or toilet, this compact folding hoist copes with ease.

One of the Oxford Advance’s key features is its ability to fold, allowing relative ease of storage and transportation. Requiring no tools to achieve its folded position, the compact hoist will then stand on end for more convenient storage. Additionally, it will also fit into the boot of most family saloon cars, perfect for going on holiday or for day trips away.

The integrated Smart Monitor diagnostic control pack has a lift cycle counter, overload detection, and a service alert to help ensure your lift is kept in optimum condition for longer and safety is maintained. Further safety systems including manual emergency lower, emergency stop and on-board controls ensure the Advance is one of the safest compact lifts available.
