Birdie Compact Folding Hoist

Detailed product description

The Invacare Birdie Compact Folding Hoist combines a sturdy boom arm with intuitive controls to help make lifts smoother and easier for the operator. The hoist supports users up to 150 kg and offers 360° rotation for precise positioning, which helps ensure comfortable transfers between bed and chair and when lifting from the floor. Controls are sensitive and straightforward, helping to reduce strain during repeated use while maintaining stable movement for the person being lifted.

When you need to move or store the hoist, the unit folds to a compact footprint without major dismantling so it is practical for transport and storage. Folding reduces the space needed in a vehicle or cupboard and makes it easier to bring the hoist between locations. At the same time the robust frame and components are built for daily, high-frequency use, offering dependable performance in both home and professional care settings.

Power comes from an onboard battery that delivers around 40 full lifts per charge, helping to reduce interruptions during a busy day. The spreader bar and boom geometry give good clearance so knees are not close to the actuator, and rotation is effortless thanks to the high boom arm and ergonomic design. Routine checks of the battery and moving parts help keep the unit functioning as intended.

Practical measurements make it suitable for confined areas: the hoist has a compact base and a short turning circle to help when manoeuvring in tight rooms. It comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty, offering reassurance for purchasers, and the build quality focuses on safe, controlled lifting rather than unnecessary complexity.
