Hoyer HPL700 Bariatric Patient Lift

The Hoyer HPL700 has a safe working load of 700 lbs (318 kg). It is a heavy-duty electric floor lift designed for the safe transfer of larger and bariatric patients, while remaining versatile enough to also serve standard-weight patients.

The higher capacity, robust frame, and wide cradle options make the HPL700 suitable for facilities and home care situations where patient weight regularly approaches or exceeds the limits of standard 450–500 lb lifts. It is built to handle demanding transfers while still incorporating modern features such as a powered base and Smart Monitor technology.

Yes. The HPL700 comes standard with a power-operated base. The caregiver can open and close the legs using the hand control without bending, twisting, or using a foot pedal.

This is especially important when transferring heavier patients, as manually adjusting a wide base under load can create significant strain. The powered base improves both caregiver safety and positioning precision around larger wheelchairs, recliners, and beds.

Yes. The HPL700 is equipped with Hoyer Smart Monitor technology. The system records the number of lift cycles performed, detects and logs overload events, displays service reminders, and provides emergency indicators.

This data helps maintenance staff and caregivers track actual usage, schedule service at the correct intervals, and support long-term reliability of a high-capacity lift that is often used in demanding environments.

Yes. As a full-body electric floor lift with a 700 lb capacity, the HPL700 is capable of recovering patients from the floor when used with an appropriate sling and proper technique.

The combination of high safe working load, stable powered base, and suitable lifting range allows it to handle floor recoveries involving larger patients that would exceed the capacity of lighter portable lifts.

When fully open, the legs provide an internal width of approximately 42.25 inches and an external width of about 46.25 inches. When closed, the external width is approximately 27.5 inches and the internal width is about 23.5 inches.

Overall height of the legs is 4.5 inches. These dimensions give the HPL700 a wide, stable platform needed for heavier patients while still allowing the closed base to pass through many standard doorways.

The HPL700 is supplied with two 24V rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery packs and an off-board charger. The dual-battery system allows one pack to charge while the other remains in use, which is particularly valuable in high-volume care settings.

Total weight of the lift is approximately 150 lbs. This weight reflects its heavy-duty construction and higher capacity components compared with mid-range models such as the HPL450 or Presence.

The HPL700 is designed with interchangeable cradle / spreader bar options. This allows caregivers to select the most appropriate attachment system for the patient’s size and the type of sling being used.

It supports both standard and wider bariatric-style cradles, making it possible to use the same lift for a broader range of patients. An optional integrated digital scale is also available and does not reduce the lifting range. The scale allows patient weight to be recorded during the transfer process.
