Mobile patient hoists are an essential piece of moving and handling equipment in any care home, nursing home or residential setting. Unlike fixed ceiling track systems, mobile hoists offer the flexibility to move between rooms and adapt to changing resident needs — making them the most practical choice for most care environments.
At Trade2Care, we supply mobile patient hoists from the UK's leading manufacturers including Arjo, Oxford Healthcare and Invacare. Every hoist we stock is LOLER compliant and CE marked — meeting the mandatory requirements for lifting equipment used in care homes under UK health and safety law.
Safe working loads from 140kg to 300kg+, including bariatric options for residents requiring higher weight capacity. All models are compatible with a full range of patient slings — universal, toileting, bathing and amputee — available in our Patient Slings collection.
What to consider when choosing a mobile hoist
-
Safe Working Load (SWL) — always select a hoist rated above the resident's body weight
-
Base width — wider bases provide greater stability; check compatibility with room layouts
-
Battery life — essential for high-use environments; check charge time and cycle count
-
Sling compatibility — confirm the hoist works with your existing sling inventory before purchasing
All hoists are subject to LOLER thorough examination every 6 months. Our engineering team provides nationwide inspection and servicing — book a LOLER inspection here.
