Alerta Powerlifter Maxi 175 Hoist

The Alerta Powerlifter Maxi 175 is the largest-capacity hoist in Alerta's Powerlifter family, built to handle heavier residents up to 175kg across hospital, nursing and homecare settings while remaining a cost-effective option. Like its smaller siblings it uses a thermoplastic rubber-coated spreader bar that rotates 360° with anti-swing technology, keeping the client steady and relaxed during transfers. The control system offers operation from an ergonomic handset or directly from top-mounted controls on the unit, with an emergency stop and alarms warning of low battery; a full charge takes around six hours and delivers up to 40 lift cycles. Braked rear castors ensure secure positioning, and the hoist disassembles into two parts for transport or storage. Available with either manual or electric leg opening, it adapts to different access needs around chairs and beds. Backed by Alerta's 2-year warranty, the Maxi 175 is a strong-value choice for care providers who need higher everyday capacity and calm, controlled handling.
