Mackworth 180 Electric Leg Mobile Hoist – Heavy-Duty Patient Lifter with Electric Leg Adjustment
The Mackworth 180 Electric Leg Mobile Hoist is a premium, high-capacity electric hoist designed to meet the demands of hospitals, care homes, and community care settings. Engineered with strength, safety, and ease of use in mind, it provides a seamless solution for patient transfers while minimising physical strain on caregivers. Its combination of robust construction, ergonomic design, and advanced functionality ensures both patient comfort and carer efficiency.
With a safe working load of 180 kg, this hoist accommodates a wide variety of patients, from standard transfers to heavier or more challenging lifting scenarios. The integration of an electric lift system with fully motorised leg adjustment allows caregivers to position the hoist precisely and safely around beds, chairs, wheelchairs, or other furniture. This dual electric functionality not only streamlines transfer procedures but also reduces the risk of musculoskeletal strain for carers during daily use.
Designed for intensive professional environments, the Mackworth 180 features a solid, heavy-duty frame capable of withstanding frequent operation. Its durable materials provide long-lasting reliability, while smooth-rolling castors ensure easy manoeuvrability, even in tight or congested spaces. The hoist’s compact footprint allows it to fit through standard doorways and navigate around obstacles, making it equally suitable for private home care as it is for clinical settings.
Patient safety and comfort are central to the design of the Mackworth 180. The electric lift mechanism ensures smooth, controlled raising and lowering of patients, reducing the jarring motions that can cause discomfort or anxiety. The hoist’s ergonomic handset offers simple, intuitive controls for precise operation, allowing carers to focus on patient well-being rather than complex handling procedures. Optional features, such as a visual battery indicator, alert caregivers to recharge needs in advance, ensuring uninterrupted care throughout the day.
The electric leg adjustment is a standout feature of this model. At the push of a button, the base legs can be widened or narrowed to accommodate different seating configurations, including chairs, wheelchairs, and beds. This functionality greatly enhances access to the patient and optimises stability during transfers. By eliminating manual leg adjustment, the hoist reduces physical effort and allows carers to maintain correct lifting posture, helping to prevent workplace injuries.
Safety has been carefully considered in every aspect of the Mackworth 180’s design. Built-in emergency stop and manual lowering functions provide carers with full control in any situation, while the sturdy frame and high-quality components ensure the patient remains secure at all times. The hoist is fully compatible with standard loop slings, offering flexibility to cater to individual patient requirements and comfort preferences.
In addition to performance and safety, the Mackworth 180 is designed for ease of maintenance and longevity. Its durable coating resists daily wear and tear, while its intuitive design allows for straightforward cleaning and servicing. Caregivers can therefore spend less time on maintenance and more time providing high-quality patient care. The combination of electric functionality, robust construction, and user-focused design makes this hoist a reliable asset for any care environment.
Overall, the Mackworth 180 Electric Leg Mobile Hoist delivers an outstanding balance of power, control, and user-friendliness. Whether used for routine bed-to-chair transfers, floor recoveries, or complex patient handling, it provides confidence, safety, and comfort for both patient and carer. Its mid-size footprint, high load capacity, and dual electric adjustments make it a versatile solution for all professional care settings, supporting improved workflow, reduced carer strain, and enhanced patient experience.
