Hoyer Up® Stand Aid — 440 lb Sit-to-Stand Lift, Modular No-Tools Design, Ergonomic Pull Bar & Knee Pads

Active transfers. Patient participation. Independence and dignity in every movement. The Hoyer Up Stand Aid is a sit-to-stand patient lift designed for a fundamentally different patient population than full passive floor lifts — patients who retain some strength and can actively participate in their own transfers. Rather than lifting a passive patient in a sling, the Hoyer Up encourages the patient to pull themselves upright using an ergonomic middle bar, with the lift providing the mechanical assistance and stability needed to complete the movement safely. A padded split seat swings out and locks into position for a secure seated surface during transfers, and comfortable knee pads stabilize the patient's lower body throughout. The rugged aluminum frame handles 440 lbs, breaks into three pieces without any tools for compact storage or transport, and has a 24.8" footprint that navigates even the tightest home spaces. Lifetime warranty on the aluminum frame and welds. Authorized Hoyer dealer.

Key Features

Active Transfer Design — Patient Participates

The Hoyer Up is built around a fundamentally different transfer philosophy from full floor lifts. Rather than passively lifting a patient in a sling, it is designed for patients who retain some functional strength — inviting them to use the ergonomic middle bar to pull themselves upright with the lift providing the structure, stability, and mechanical assistance to make that movement safe. This active participation approach preserves mobility, builds confidence, and supports patient dignity — making transfers feel less like being moved and more like moving with support.

Ergonomic Middle Bar

The lift's centrally positioned ergonomic bar is positioned at the correct height and angle for the patient to grip and use their upper body strength to assist their own sit-to-stand movement. The bar's design encourages proper body mechanics during the transfer, reducing the risk of awkward reaching or compensation movements that could cause injury.

Padded Split Seat

The padded split seat swings out from the lift frame and locks into a fixed position, providing a stable, comfortable seated surface during the transfer. The split design allows the seat to be positioned around the patient's anatomy for a secure fit, and the padding reduces pressure and discomfort during seated portions of the transfer movement.

Knee Pads

Comfortable knee pads stabilize the patient's lower body throughout the transfer, preventing the knees from sliding or shifting during the sit-to-stand motion. Proper knee stabilization is essential for safe stand-assist transfers and helps the patient feel secure and in control during the movement.

No-Tools Modular Design — 3 Pieces

The Hoyer Up breaks down into three pieces without any tools — a significant practical advantage for home care environments where storage space is limited or the lift needs to be transported between locations. Despite the modular design, assembly and disassembly are straightforward and quick, and the lift stands ready for use in a compact footprint of just 24.8" maximum width.

Rugged Build for Home & Facility Use

The aluminum frame is built for durability across both home and institutional settings, with smooth-rolling caster wheels with brakes for controlled positioning. At 72 lbs and 440 lb capacity, it provides a robust, stable transfer platform. The lifetime warranty on the aluminum frame and welds reflects the structural confidence built into the design.

• Elderly individuals who need mechanical support for stand-assist transfers but can actively participate
• Patients with arthritis, Parkinson's disease, or muscle weakness who benefit from structured mechanical support for standing
