Battery-Powered Patient Lift | Electric Hoyer Lift with Sling Included

Safe Full-Body Transfers at Home — Sling Included

This battery-powered electric patient lift (Drive Medical #13240) is a full-body dependent transfer lift designed for home caregiving. It raises and lowers with a handheld push-button control — no manual pumping required — so one caregiver can safely transfer a loved one between bed, wheelchair, chair, or commode without physical strain.

Every lift includes a divided-leg sling (Drive Medical #13262L, available in Medium or Large), ready to use out of the box. No separate sling purchase needed.

Why Choose an Electric Patient Lift Over a Hydraulic Lift?

Traditional hydraulic Hoyer lifts require a caregiver to manually pump the lift up and hold a release valve to lower it — demanding significant physical effort, especially for heavier individuals. This electric lift eliminates that entirely: the Linak motor and actuator do all the lifting at the press of a button, reducing caregiver injury risk and making solo transfers realistic for most home-care situations.

For families managing stroke, ALS, advanced Parkinson's disease, late-stage dementia, or spinal cord injury, a battery-powered lift is often the key factor that allows a loved one to continue aging in place safely rather than transitioning to institutional care.

Who This Patient Lift Is For

This is a full-body dependent lift — the right choice when someone cannot stand or bear any weight during transfers. Common use cases include:

• Stroke survivors with hemiplegia or paralysis
• Late-stage Parkinson's disease or ALS
• Advanced multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Spinal cord injury (SCI) / quadriplegia or paraplegia
• Post-surgical recovery with weight-bearing restrictions
• Elderly individuals with severe mobility limitations

If the person can briefly stand but not walk, a stand-assist lift may be a lower-cost alternative. Contact us if you’re unsure which lift is right for your situation.
