Repairing Hoyer Patient Lifts
Before ordering anything for a Hoyer patient lift, we look up the exact model number. Parts that look alike often differ between production runs, and matching the model avoids repeat visits.
How we repair your Hoyer 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.

- What our technician checks
- The battery is load-tested and charger output is measured.
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.
Casters drag or will not lock
- Likely causes
- Hair wound around caster wheels, worn brakes or damaged caster stems.
- What our technician checks

Quick checks you can do safely

- Inspect the sling for frayed straps or torn loops.
