Invacare Birdie EVO & Birdie EVO Compact Mobile Patient Hoists
The Invacare Birdie EVO and Birdie EVO Compact mobile patient hoists are specially designed to offer a comfortable, secure, and dignified lift and transfer experience. Whether assisting individuals to or from beds, chairs, or even the floor, these versatile hoists are ideal for both domestic home care and residential care environments. Engineered to combine ergonomic performance with ease of handling, the Birdie EVO range provides complete peace of mind for both clients and carers.
Ergonomic Design and Superior Client Comfort
Invacare patient lifting equipment is crafted to maximize spatial clearance for the client, even when the hoist reaches its highest lifting position. Featuring an innovative long boom design, the Birdie EVO provides generous space during transfers. This open, unrestrictive layout significantly reduces the risk of knee contact or injury, ensuring a reassuring and relaxed experience for the individual being moved.
The extended space allows carers to smoothly rotate the client 360°, making precise repositioning into a chair, wheelchair, or bed completely effort-free while maintaining ideal posture for the operator.
Tool-Free Assembly, Easy Folding, and Transportation
Handling and transporting a patient hoist should never be complicated or physical demanding. The Invacare Birdie EVO series is engineered to fold and unfold effortlessly without the need for any tools whatsoever.
Space-Saving Storage: Folds down into a sleek, compact unit that takes up minimal floor space when stored in tight rooms or storage cupboards.
Effortless Transport: Lightweight construction and smooth-rolling castors make the hoist exceptionally easy to push, steer, and manoeuvre across various indoor floor surfaces.
Detachable Boom & Mast: For vehicle transportation or compact storage, the mast and boom can be detached from the base quickly without tools required.
Safety Certified to Rigorous European Standards
Safety and structural reliability are at the very core of the Invacare Birdie EVO series. The hoist is fully CE-certified in line with the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC.
To guarantee maximum structural integrity, long-term durability, and user safety, the hoists have been extensively tested by both Invacare and the accredited external body German TÜV Institute. These rigorous evaluations ensure full compliance with EN ISO 10535, the governing European standard for mobile hoists.
