How we repair your Patient Lift
A patient lift is a mobile or ceiling-mounted hoist that uses a sling and a lifting boom or strap to transfer a person between bed, chair and bath. A patient lift relies on motors, compressors or blowers, batteries, sensors and control boards, all of which must work reliably. A technician checks power and batteries, motors and actuators, filters and alarms, and confirms safe operation after repair.

Lowers slowly or drifts down
- Likely causes
- A worn actuator or hydraulic seal, or a release valve that does not close fully on a manual pump lift.
- What our technician checks

- What our technician checks
- The strap, spool and motor are inspected.
Lift will not raise
- Likely causes
- A discharged battery, an emergency stop pressed, a failed actuator, or a load over the rated limit.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks battery voltage, the emergency stop and actuator current under load.
Battery will not charge
- Likely causes
- An old battery, a failed charger, or corroded battery contacts.
- What our technician checks
- The battery is load-tested and charger output is measured.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Charge the battery fully and check it is seated properly.
- Reset the emergency stop button.
- Inspect the sling for frayed straps or torn loops.
- Check the casters for hair and debris.
- Confirm the person and sling are within the rated weight limit.
Safety first: A failed lift or sling can drop a person, so stop using it if it drifts, the sling is worn or a part looks damaged.

How much does patient lift repair cost in North Carolina?
Most patient lift repairs fall roughly between $100 and $450, depending on the part and labor involved. That is a national ballpark estimate; you get an exact quote after diagnosis and before any work starts.
Can you repair my patient lift the same day?
Often, yes. Call (844) 442-1999 early in the day and we will try to schedule a same-day visit. Same-day service depends on technician availability and whether the part is in stock.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. Completed repairs are covered by a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. If the same problem comes back in that time, we come back and fix it.
Which brands do you service?
We work on all major brands, including Drive DeVilbiss, Hoyer and Invacare.
Should I repair or replace my patient lift?
A typical patient lift lasts about 5 to 10 years. If yours is well within that range and the repair costs less than half the price of a new one, repair is usually the better value. Our technician will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
