Reliable Manual Hydraulic Patient Lift for Home Care

The Hoyer HML400 is a proven manual hydraulic patient lift designed for dependable everyday transfers without the need for batteries or electricity. With a 400 lb safe working load, it provides a practical and cost-effective solution for home caregivers who want reliable performance and simple operation.
The ergonomically placed hydraulic pump features a rotating handle that can be operated from either side of the lift, giving caregivers more flexibility during transfers. The adjustable U-base opens and closes to improve access around wheelchairs, chairs, and toilets, while the non-sway 6-point cradle adds stability and comfort for the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the safe working load of the Hoyer HML400?

The Hoyer HML400 has a safe working load of 400 lbs (181 kg). It is Hoyer’s most popular hydraulic (manual) lift for home care.

The 400 lb capacity covers the majority of typical home-care patients while keeping the lift relatively lightweight and simple to operate. It is often chosen when caregivers want a reliable, no-battery solution that does not require charging.

Is the HML400 electric or hydraulic?

The HML400 is a fully hydraulic (manual) patient lift. There are no batteries or electric actuators.

The caregiver raises and lowers the patient by pumping the hydraulic handle. The handle is designed to rotate, allowing operation from either side of the lift. This flexibility is useful in tight spaces where the caregiver may not be able to stand in the usual position.

Can the Hoyer HML400 be disassembled for storage or transport?

Yes. One of the key advantages of the HML400 is that it disassembles easily. The mast separates from the base without complicated tools, making the lift much easier to store in a closet or transport in a vehicle.

Total weight is approximately 84 lbs. When separated, the individual sections are significantly lighter and more manageable for a single caregiver.

What are the base width and lifting range of the HML400?

The adjustable U-base closes to approximately 24 inches and opens to about 39.5–40.5 inches. Base clearance is roughly 5.25 inches, which allows the lift to slide under many beds and chairs.

The lifting range of the boom is approximately 28–28.5 inches at the lowest position to 75–77 inches at the highest. This range supports both floor recoveries and transfers to standard bed heights.

Can the HML400 lift a patient from the floor?

Yes. With a low boom height of around 28–28.5 inches and a stable U-base, the HML400 is capable of performing floor recoveries when used with a proper sling and correct technique.

As with any hydraulic lift, the caregiver must be able to pump the handle while maintaining control of the lift and patient. Two caregivers are often recommended for floor recoveries involving heavier patients.

What cradle does the HML400 use and are slings included?

The HML400 comes standard with a 6-point non-sway cradle designed for traditional loop-style Hoyer slings (such as Quickfit, Full Back, and Long Seat models).

Slings are not included with the lift and must be purchased separately. Customers should select a sling that matches both the 6-point cradle and the patient’s weight and clinical needs.
