Hoyer Presence Pro 500 Patient Power Lift

The Hoyer Presence has a safe working load of 500 lbs (227 kg). The height to the spreader bar / attachment point ranges from a minimum of 16.9 inches to a maximum of 75.2 inches. This extensive vertical range allows the lift to recover patients from the floor and also reach higher surfaces such as elevated hospital beds or stretchers. The combination of high capacity and long lifting range makes the Presence suitable for a wide variety of patient sizes and transfer scenarios.

Yes. The Presence is equipped with a powered base as standard. The caregiver can open and close the legs using the hand control without bending, twisting, or using a foot pedal. This reduces physical strain during transfers and allows finer control when positioning the base around chairs, wheelchairs, or beds. Powered leg adjustment is especially useful in tight spaces or when working with heavier patients.

Yes, the Presence includes Hoyer Smart Monitor technology. The system 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 staff track usage, schedule timely service, and support long-term reliability of the lift. Smart Monitor is one of the features that distinguishes professional-grade Hoyer models from basic consumer lifts.

Yes. The Presence is designed for floor recoveries. With a minimum spreader bar height of 16.9 inches and a stable powered base, it can safely lift a patient from the floor to a bed or chair. Proper sling application and base positioning are essential for safe floor recovery. The lift’s reach and capacity also support transfers of larger or taller patients from low surfaces.

When fully open, the legs provide an internal width of 40.1 inches. When closed, the external width is 26.4 inches. Standard overall height of the legs is 4.7 inches. An optional low-leg kit reduces the leg height to 2.4 inches, allowing the base to fit under lower-clearance beds, stretchers, and certain furniture. Ground clearance is approximately 1.4 inches.

The Presence has a total weight of approximately 88 lbs, which is relatively light for a 500 lb capacity professional floor lift due to its aluminum construction. It comes standard with two 24V rechargeable sealed lead-acid battery packs (3.2 Ah) and an off-board charger. This dual-battery setup allows one pack to remain on charge while the other is in use, minimizing downtime during multi-transfer shifts.

The Hoyer Presence comes standard with a 6-point spreader bar. This is designed for use with Hoyer loop-style slings (such as Quickfit, Full Back, Long Seat, and Access models).

A 4-point positioning cradle is available as a separate accessory and can be interchanged with the standard 6-point bar. There is also an optional Adaptive Power Cradle (powered 4-point version) that allows powered patient repositioning and works with Hoyer Comfort clip-style slings that use the Securi3 safety clip system.

The digital scale is not included as standard. It is an optional add-on (NAWI Class III rated) that can be ordered as a factory-configured model or added later. The scale does not reduce the lifting range and allows patient weight to be recorded during the transfer.
