The Oxford Presence Heavy Duty Hoist

Summary. Discover the Oxford Presence, a top-tier heavy-duty hoist, designed for diverse patient-handling needs. With a robust lift range and customisable features, it ensures comfort, flexibility, and safety.

Hoists are one of the most common pieces of patient handling equipment in the care sector. Whether it’s in a hospital, a care home, or in someone’s own home, hoists can help mobilise patients in a comfortable and safe manner. Hoists can provide vital assistance, for instance, when getting in and out of the bath, bed, or even standing up from a chair. They are invaluable devices for improving the quality of care. They also help ensure those caring for the patient are not at unnecessary risk of physical strain or injury themselves. With this in mind, let’s explore the Oxford Presence heavy duty lift offer.

Oxford Presence Heavy Duty Hoist

The Oxford Presence is a heavy-duty mobile patient lift that is able to handle many demanding patient-handling situations. With an impressive safe working load of 227kg/35st, it can support patients of many different weights. It also has a lift range between 440mm – 1910mm ensuring it comfortably supports both off the floor transfers as well as higher-level surface transfers.

The Oxford Presence has several options to ensure a wider array of patient needs are met. The hoist comes with a 6-point spreader bar as standard for use with loop style slings, however, this can be interchanged with a choice of manual or powered 4-point positioning cradles to accommodate clip-style slings. Both the standard spreader bar and cradle options can also be combined with an inline precision digital weigh-scale with no reduction in lift height or range.

The Smart Monitor on-board diagnostic control system with integrated lift cycle counter, overload detection and a service reminder helps to ensure your lift is kept in optimum condition for a maximised service life. In addition, safety systems including manual emergency lower, emergency stop and on-board controls ensure the Presence is one of the safest lifts in its class.

Ease of use and versatility were key focal points in the design phase of the Presence. It is equipped as standard with powered leg positioning to ensure easier access around furniture and other obstacles in a room, as well as reducing the effort required on behalf of the care giver. There is even a low leg variant, offering improved access under low bed frames.

 

Product Interaction Points

As with all Oxford Professional series lifts ergonomic principles figure highly. Product interaction points have been carefully and intuitively placed, such as the push handle and onboard controls. Additionally, there are useful features like the foot push pad which helps the care giver initiate forward momentum. The sculpted base casting also helps the caregiver get closer to the load during use, helping improve posture and reduce unnecessary physical exertion which can lead to avoidable injury.
