Oxford Presence 227 Hoist

Detailed description

Heavy-duty construction gives the Oxford Presence 227 its high load capability. The hoist supports a maximum user weight of 227 kg (35 st) and sits on a robust frame that helps keep transfers stable. Its overall footprint remains practical for care settings, and the design balances strength with controlled movement so carers can position users with confidence.

The hoist offers a very wide lifting range, with the spreader bar reaching up to 1910 mm and lowering close to the floor to allow off‑the‑floor transfers. The spreader bar is a six‑point type to give good sling support, and lifting is operated from a user-friendly handset that also powers the electrically operated leg positioning. This makes it straightforward to open or close the legs at the touch of a button to suit the transfer.

Manoeuvring and access are addressed with a swan‑neck leg design, slim front reach and well‑placed castors plus an oversized push handle. The legs open wide enough to fit around chairs and many commodes, while the smaller front profile helps to slip in under bulky furniture. Braked rear castors help keep the hoist steady once in position.
