Hoyer Presence® Professional Patient Lift — 500 lb, Smart Monitor, Powered Base, Interchangeable Cradle & Low Leg Option

Best-in-class feature set. Smart compliance technology. Built to handle anything. The Hoyer Presence® is a 500 lb professional patient lift engineered and designed to handle almost any resident-handling task in home care or institutional environments. What sets the Presence apart from other lifts in the Hoyer Pro family is its Smart Monitor technology — a built-in system that tracks lift cycles, provides overload protection, and sends service reminders that drive caregiver compliance and keep the lift performing reliably over its service life. A powered base eliminates bending or twisting to adjust the leg width, interchangeable manual or powered cradle options give the caregiver flexibility across sling systems, and an optional low leg kit allows the lift to fit under beds, stretchers, and furnishings with low floor clearance. An optional NAWI Class III rated digital scale integrates without compromising lifting height. Lightweight aluminum construction at just 88.2 lbs total with a spreader bar range of 16.9" to 75.2" — floor pick-up through high surface transfers in a single device. EN ISO 10535 compliant. Authorized Hoyer dealer.

Key Features

Smart Monitor Technology

The Hoyer Smart Monitor is the Presence's standout clinical feature — a built-in compliance and maintenance system that no other lift in this class includes as standard. It tracks the number of lift cycles performed, activates overload protection to prevent unsafe lifts, sends service reminders to keep the lift in optimal condition, and provides an emergency indicator. In institutional environments where a single lift may perform dozens of transfers per day across multiple caregivers, the Smart Monitor drives consistent caregiver compliance and significantly extends lift service life by ensuring recommended maintenance is performed on schedule.

Extensive Lifting Range — 16.9" to 75.2"

A spreader bar minimum height of 16.9" provides full floor pick-up capability, while the 75.2" maximum covers high bed frame and stretcher transfers. The 51.5" height at maximum reach enables effective reach across wide contemporary bed platforms. This extensive range means the Presence handles virtually every transfer scenario in a single device — floor to bed, bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to commode, and high-frame stretcher transfers.

Powered Base

The Presence comes standard with a powered base — the leg width is adjusted electronically without bending, twisting, or applying force. In high-frequency transfer environments where the lift is repositioned many times per shift, the powered base significantly reduces cumulative caregiver strain and lowers the risk of musculoskeletal injury from repeated manual leg adjustment.

Interchangeable Cradle Options

The Presence accepts both manual and powered interchangeable cradles, giving facilities flexibility to match the sling system to the patient population. The powered cradle enables effortless patient repositioning during the lift with controls located at the handle — keeping the caregiver in close proximity to the resident throughout the transfer. Both cradle types are compatible with standard Hoyer loop slings.

Low Leg Option Kit

The optional low leg kit is a practical accessory for care environments where the lift needs to fit under beds, stretchers, or other furnishings with low floor clearance. Standard lift legs have a fixed height that can prevent the lift from positioning correctly under low-profile equipment — the low leg kit solves this without requiring a separate specialty lift.

NAWI Class III Digital Scale Option

The optional integrated digital scale is rated to NAWI (Non-Automatic Weighing Instrument) Class III — the precision standard applicable to clinical patient monitoring applications. Critically, it does not reduce the lift's maximum attachment height, preserving the full lifting range even when the scale is in use.

Lightweight Aluminum Frame

At 88.2 lbs total, the Presence is notably lighter than many competitive 500 lb institutional lifts, making it easier to maneuver across care floors and between patient rooms. The lightweight aluminum construction is engineered for durability in high-use institutional environments without the weight penalty of steel-frame alternatives.

Who This Lift Is For

• Professional nursing facilities, assisted living, and rehabilitation centers needing a high-capacity all-round institutional lift
• Facilities that want built-in compliance monitoring — lift cycle tracking, overload protection, and service reminders drive consistent caregiver habits and lift longevity
• Environments with low-clearance beds or stretchers where the low leg kit enables the lift to position correctly
• Patients up to 500 lbs — including bariatric patients — requiring full-body passive sling transfers
• High-frequency transfer settings where the powered base reduces cumulative caregiver strain over multiple daily lifts
• Facilities requiring integrated patient weighing without a separate scale device or compromise to lifting height
• Care teams that need flexibility across multiple sling systems — interchangeable manual and powered cradle options accommodate different patient needs in the same device
