How to Choose the Right Hoyer Lift Accessories
Genuine accessories keep your Hoyer patient lift operating safely and efficiently. Selecting the correct part depends on your specific lift model and the function you need to restore or enhance.
Key Categories of Hoyer Lift Accessories
Control Systems
Control boxes and handset pendants are critical for powered operation. We offer genuine control boxes and matching user handsets for the Hoyer Advance and Journey lifts, ensuring reliable up/down control and emergency stop functionality.
Actuators
The electric actuator is the heart of any powered patient lift. Replacement actuators with the correct stroke length (such as 350mm for the Advance or 210mm for the Journey) restore smooth lifting performance when the original unit wears out.
Spreader Bars & Positioning Cradles
- 6-point spreader bars are designed for loop-style (webbing) slings and provide secure, adjustable positioning.
- 4-point cradles and Adaptive Power Positioning Cradles work with clip-style (Securi3) slings and allow greater patient positioning control, including powered options for Presence and Stature lifts.
Digital Scales
Integrated or add-on digital scales for the Advance and Stature models allow accurate patient weighing during transfers — a valuable feature for clinical monitoring and documentation.
Wheels, Casters & Power Cords
Replacement rear casters with brakes and genuine Linak AC power cords help maintain mobility and charging reliability across multiple Hoyer professional lift models.

Common Questions About Hoyer Lift Accessories
Are these accessories compatible with all Hoyer lifts?
No. Most accessories are model-specific. Always confirm your lift model (Advance, Journey, Presence, Stature, etc.) before ordering control boxes, actuators, spreader bars, or scales.
What’s the difference between 4-point and 6-point spreader bars?
6-point spreader bars are typically used with loop-style (webbing) slings. 4-point cradles are designed for clip-style (Securi3) slings and often offer more precise positioning options, including powered versions.
Do I need a digital scale on my patient lift?
A digital scale is optional but highly useful in clinical or home-care settings where tracking patient weight is important. Scales are available as integrated options or add-on accessories for select models.
Are Hoyer lift accessories HSA/FSA eligible?
Many genuine accessories that are necessary for the safe operation or medical use of a patient lift may qualify. Check with your HSA/FSA administrator for confirmation on specific items.
