Patient Lifts

Professional Electric Patient Lifts for Complete Transfer Solutions

When patients require full-body transfer assistance, an electric patient lift becomes an essential piece of medical equipment. Our comprehensive Protekt patient lift collection by Proactive Medical Products delivers the safety, reliability, and performance that healthcare professionals and home caregivers depend on. Whether you need a standard electric hoyer patient lift for facility use or a portable folding model for travel, we provide the complete solution for safe patient handling.

Understanding Electric Hoyer Patient Lifts

An electric patient lift is designed for patients who cannot bear weight or provide assistance during transfers. Unlike sit-to-stand lifts, these full-body patient lift systems support the entire patient from bed to wheelchair, commode, or bath using electric actuators for smooth, controlled movement. The Protekt electric patient lift line represents the gold standard in patient transfer equipment, combining advanced safety features with user-friendly operation.
