Three versions of the Invacare Birdie Evo Hoist are available:
Birdie Evo Compact - with a smaller footprint for the most restricted spaces, this has a lifting range of 53-159cm, and a capacity of 150kg.
Birdie Evo Standard - with a 180kg weight capacity, and either manual or powered leg opening versions.
Birdie Evo X Plus - featuring a heavier lifting capacity of 210kg.
The Evo features a long boom to enhance user comfort, allowing for easy rotation and positioning with reduced risk of injury to the knees.
When not in use, the Birdie Evo can be folded or dismantled with no tools required, allowing for easy transport and storage.
Our Verdict
The Birdie Evo range is a popular set of hoists, simple and safe to operate, and easy to store when not in use. We would recommend considering Oxford's equivalent Advance hoist as well.
