How to Use the Hoyer Stature Safely – Vertical Lift Transfer Guide

How to Use the Hoyer Stature Safely – Vertical Lift Transfer Guide

 

The Stature’s vertical lifting path requires the same careful process as other full-body lifts, with extra attention to positioning because of its larger open base.

Preparation Checklist

  • Fully charge the batteries

  • Clear a wide path (the open base is larger than many home lifts)

  • Select the correct sling and cradle

  • Communicate each step to the patient

  • Lock the rear casters before lifting

Standard Transfer Steps

  1. Position the open base around the chair, bed, or wheelchair.

  2. Lock the brakes.

  3. Apply and secure the sling.

  4. Attach the sling to the chosen spreader bar.

  5. Raise the patient slowly using the hand control.

  6. Move carefully to the destination.

  7. Lower the patient and remove the sling once secure.

  8. Unlock the brakes and reposition the lift.

Floor Recovery & Higher Surfaces

The Stature can recover from the floor and reach higher surfaces thanks to its vertical range. For floor recoveries, a full-support sling such as the Hoyer Full Body Hammock Loop Style Sling is recommended.
