Hoyer Elevate Sit-to-Stand Lift

The Hoyer Elevate has a safe working load of 440 lbs (200 kg). This capacity rating applies to the combined weight of the patient and sling. Height to the attachment point ranges from a minimum of 39.2 inches to a maximum of 64.7 inches.

Unlike full-body floor lifts, the Elevate is specifically engineered as an active sit-to-stand lift. Its lifting range is optimized for bringing a patient from a seated position into a standing or near-standing position rather than recovering someone from the floor. This makes it well suited for patients who retain partial weight-bearing ability.

The Elevate is a dedicated active sit-to-stand lift (also called a stand-aid). It is designed for patients who can bear at least partial weight through their legs and can participate in the transfer process.

Full-body (passive) Hoyer lifts support the entire patient weight with a full sling and are used when the patient has little or no weight-bearing ability. The Elevate, by contrast, uses a standing sling, a supportive knee pad, and a foot tray to help the patient move from sitting to standing. Choosing the correct lift type depends primarily on the patient’s residual strength and rehabilitation goals.

Yes. The Elevate comes standard with a powered base. The caregiver can open and close the legs using the hand control, eliminating the need to bend, twist, or operate a foot pedal.

It also includes Hoyer Smart Monitor technology. The Smart Monitor records the number of lift cycles, detects overload events, displays service reminders, and provides emergency indicators on an LCD screen. This data helps caregivers and maintenance teams track usage and schedule service at the appropriate intervals, supporting both safety and long-term equipment reliability.

Yes. The Elevate features an angled, removable foot tray with a polymer cover that can be taken off for cleaning. When the entire foot tray is removed, the lift can function as a supervised walking aid.

This allows caregivers to support the patient in a standing position and assist with short-distance gait training or ambulation practice under close supervision. The combination of the removable foot tray and adjustable knee pad makes the Elevate particularly useful in restorative care and rehabilitation settings.

When fully open, the legs provide an external width of 39.1 inches and an internal width of 34.3 inches. When closed, the external width is 24.8 inches and the internal width is 20.0 inches.

Overall height of the legs is 4.7 inches, with approximately 1.4 inches of ground clearance. These dimensions allow the Elevate to fit around most wheelchairs and chairs while still being narrow enough when closed to maneuver through typical doorways and tighter spaces commonly found in home care and facility environments.

The Elevate is powered by two 24V rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery packs rated at 3.2 Ah, along with an off-board charger. The dual-battery design allows one pack to charge while the other remains in service, reducing downtime during busy transfer schedules.

Total assembled weight of the Elevate is approximately 136.4 lbs. While heavier than compact folding stand-aids, this weight reflects its more robust construction, powered base, and higher feature set intended for regular professional or high-use home care environments.

The Elevate uses a one-hand adjustable knee pad that offers infinite height settings within its operating range. The caregiver can fine-tune the knee pad position even after the patient is already in the sling, improving comfort and proper positioning.

Combined with the removable foot tray for gait training, standard powered base, Smart Monitor system, and optional digital scale, the Elevate is positioned as a higher-feature sit-to-stand lift. It is designed not only for safe transfers but also to support restorative care goals and ongoing patient mobility training.
