Invacare Birdie 180 Electric Legs Mobile Hoist

Invacare Birdie 180 – Advanced Mobile Lifting Solution

The Invacare Birdie 180 is a next-generation mobile hoist designed to deliver unparalleled safety, comfort, and ease of use during patient transfers. Building upon the well-established Birdie range, this model integrates customer feedback to retain the features most valued while introducing new innovations to further enhance the experience for both service users and carers. The Birdie 180 is ideal for clinical, care home, or domestic environments where reliable, versatile patient handling is required.

Engineered for versatility, the Birdie 180 allows safe lifting and transferring from beds, chairs, or even the floor. Its extensive lifting range, combined with a 360-degree rotating lift arm, enables carers to position patients efficiently and safely without the need for repeated adjustments. This functionality reduces physical strain on carers while ensuring users remain comfortable and secure throughout the transfer process.

High Boom and Electrically Operated Legs

The Birdie 180 features a high boom design that provides ample clearance for users, even at the maximum lifting height. This ensures that knees or limbs are not obstructed by the actuator, enhancing comfort and safety during lifts. Additionally, the model includes electrically operated legs, allowing carers to adjust the base width with ease. This feature makes positioning around furniture or tight spaces effortless, improving manoeuvrability and reducing manual effort.

The electrically adjustable legs, in combination with the hoist’s high boom, make the Birdie 180 exceptionally adaptable. Carers can quickly configure the hoist to accommodate different users and environments, which is particularly valuable in multi-room care settings or when transferring patients with varying mobility requirements.

User-Focused Design and Convenience

The Birdie 180 is designed with both carers and service users in mind. It can be folded and unfolded quickly without the need for tools, making storage and transport simple and efficient. The mast can also be easily detached from the base if required, providing additional portability and facilitating movement through doorways or confined spaces. This combination of intuitive folding and detachable components ensures that the hoist is always ready for use without compromising safety or reliability.

Every aspect of the Birdie 180 has been crafted to support carers during transfers. Smooth-operating wheels, a stable base, and ergonomically positioned handles ensure optimal control, while the 360-degree rotating lift arm allows for precise patient positioning. These design elements collectively reduce physical strain and enhance confidence during lifts, particularly in busy or high-demand environments.

Comfort and Safety for Users

The comfort and security of the service user are central to the Birdie 180’s design. Smooth, controlled lifting ensures a natural, stable transfer, while safety mechanisms integrated into the hoist reduce the risk of accidental movement. Users experience a quiet, gentle lift, which helps create a calm and reassuring environment, especially for those who may feel anxious or vulnerable during transfers.

The high boom, adjustable base, and electrically operated legs combine to offer superior stability, ensuring that users are always supported in a safe, comfortable position. This focus on dignity, comfort, and security makes the Birdie 180 suitable for a wide range of patients, from smaller adults to larger users up to 180 kg (28 stone).
