Distinct design for manoeuvrability and impressive lifting range

This lifting hoist offers an impressive ergonomic lift that allows the patient to be easily rotated through 360° and offers an impressive lifting range of 415-1660mm. This makes positioning and manoeuvring much easier for the carer using the hoist and reducing any anxiety for the client.

The high curved lifting arm ensures maximised space for the client even when in its highest position plus the space in front of the actuator reduces risk of injuries to legs and knees. This distinct design allows carers and patient to maintain eye contact throughout the transfer.

Securely attach slings with ease one handed thanks to its intuitive hook design, its special ergonomic shape allows you to attach the sling from above or from below and the flexible outward pointing lip enables the sling to easily be detached again.

The push bar has also been designed with ergonomics in mind to make handling and manoeuvring trouble free. Its increased depth of the handles allows for comfortable arm extension during transportation all designed with carers in mind. Purchase yours today!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist a good choice for home care?

Yes. The Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist is an excellent choice for home care thanks to its compact footprint, tool-free folding design and smooth manoeuvrability. It is designed to make everyday transfers between beds, chairs and wheelchairs safer and more comfortable while remaining easy to store when not in use. These features make it particularly well suited to homes where space is limited without compromising on lifting performance.

What makes the Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist different from other mobile patient hoists?

The Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist stands out because it combines a compact design with features normally found on more premium patient hoists. These include a 360° rotating spreader bar, a lifting range of 415mm to 1660mm, ergonomic one-handed sling attachment, a curved lifting arm for increased user space and tool-free folding for convenient storage. Together, these features improve comfort for the patient while making transfers easier for carers.

Is the 180kg safe working load suitable for most users?

For many users, yes. The Invacare Birdie Evo has a maximum safe working load of 180kg (28 stone), making it suitable for a wide range of adults who require assistance with transfers. Before purchasing, it is important to ensure the user's weight falls within the hoist's safe working limit and that a compatible sling is selected for their needs.

Can the Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist safely lift someone from the floor?

Yes. Thanks to its lifting range of 415mm to 1660mm, the Invacare Birdie Evo is designed to safely lift a person from the floor as well as assist with transfers between beds, wheelchairs, recliner chairs and other seating. This versatility means you do not need separate equipment for different transfer situations.

Why do carers find the Invacare Birdie Evo easier to use?

The Invacare Birdie Evo has been designed with carer comfort and efficiency in mind. Its ergonomic push handles improve manoeuvrability, while the innovative sling hooks allow one-handed attachment from above or below. The 360° rotating spreader bar also makes positioning the patient easier, helping to reduce physical effort during transfers and improve the overall experience for both carer and patient.

Is the Invacare Birdie Evo easy to store when it's not being used?

Yes. The Invacare Birdie Evo folds and unfolds without the need for tools, making it quick to store between uses or transport to another location. This makes it particularly suitable for home environments where equipment may need to be put away when not in use.

Does the curved lifting arm improve patient comfort during transfers?

Yes. The curved lifting arm creates additional space around the patient during lifting, helping them feel less restricted throughout the transfer. It also reduces the risk of the actuator coming into contact with the user's legs or knees and allows carers to maintain eye contact with the patient, which can help create a more reassuring and comfortable transfer experience.

Who should consider buying the Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist?

The Invacare Birdie Evo 180kg Hoist is ideal for individuals with reduced mobility who require regular assisted transfers at home or in a care setting. It is particularly well suited to family carers, professional carers and care providers looking for a compact, ergonomic patient hoist that offers a generous lifting range, straightforward operation and a maximum safe working load of 180kg.
