The Oxford Advance Hoist is a versatile hoist with an impressive lifting range - it can be used to hoist between a wheelchair, chair, bed, bath, and the floor. The swan-neck leg design helps the Advance get even closer to wider obstacles, particularly helpful when hoisting from large chairs, wide wheelchairs, and bulky commodes. It has a safe working load of 24 stone, and is easy to manoeuvre, with an oversized push handle to assist with handling and manoeuvring the hoist.
The controls are simple to operate, and helpfully advise you on the maintenance schedule recommended for the hoist. A handy clip allows the controller to be stored conveniently out of the way when not in use.
Unlike many other hoists, the Oxford Advance features a compact folding design that doesn't require any tools or special attachments to fold up. It can be stored in a stable standing position when not in use, and is also designed to fit neatly into the back of an average sized family saloon car - perfect for transport.
