The Alerta Powerlifter Maxi 175 is a robust, full-size electric mobile hoist engineered for professional care settings, offering exceptional lifting capability and patient safety. Designed to support patients weighing up to 175 kg, this hoist is ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and community care environments where reliable, high-capacity lifting is essential. It provides carers with a practical, efficient solution for everyday transfers while minimising physical strain and enhancing patient comfort.
Built for performance and safety, the Powerlifter Maxi 175 features a powerful electric lift system controlled via an intuitive handheld remote. This ensures smooth, precise lifting and lowering, reducing jerky movements that can compromise patient safety or comfort. The optional electric leg opening adds an additional layer of flexibility, allowing carers to adjust the base width easily and position the hoist around beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and toilets without manual effort. This functionality significantly improves operational efficiency and supports safe transfer techniques, reducing the risk of caregiver injury.
The hoist is designed with both carers and patients in mind. Its ergonomic push handles and precision-engineered castors allow effortless manoeuvrability, even in confined spaces or crowded rooms. The stable, heavy-duty frame ensures consistent support during transfers, providing reassurance for both patient and caregiver. The Powerlifter Maxi 175 strikes the perfect balance between a compact footprint and high load capacity, ensuring it fits through standard doorways while maintaining the strength needed for larger patients or demanding care scenarios.
Patient dignity and comfort are key priorities. The Powerlifter Maxi 175 is fully compatible with a wide range of loop-style slings, enabling caregivers to select the most suitable sling for each individual’s needs. Transfers from beds, chairs, wheelchairs, toilets, or even the floor can be performed safely and comfortably, ensuring a seamless care experience. Smooth lifting, controlled descent, and optional leg adjustment all contribute to reducing patient anxiety and maintaining a sense of security during handling.
Safety features are integrated throughout the design. The hoist includes an emergency stop mechanism and manual lowering function, providing carers with immediate control in unexpected situations. This ensures compliance with professional care standards and reduces the risk of accidents. Additionally, the durable frame and high-quality materials offer long-lasting reliability, able to withstand frequent use in intensive care environments without compromising performance.
Beyond performance and safety, the Alerta Powerlifter Maxi 175 prioritises caregiver efficiency. The electric lift system and optional electric leg adjustment minimise manual effort, allowing carers to focus on patient support and comfort rather than strenuous handling tasks. The hoist’s smooth, responsive operation reduces fatigue and supports safe working practices, which is particularly valuable in busy clinical or residential care settings where multiple transfers may be required throughout the day.
The versatility of the Powerlifter Maxi 175 makes it a trusted solution for a wide range of professional care environments. Whether used for routine bed-to-chair transfers, complex floor recoveries, or repositioning patients within limited spaces, it consistently delivers a safe, dignified, and efficient experience. Its combination of high-capacity lifting, optional electric adjustments, and robust construction makes it a durable investment for care providers, ensuring reliability and long-term value.
