Product Details
Hoyer® Calibre® Bariatric Electric Patient Lift (850 lb Safe Working Load)
The Hoyer® Calibre® is a uniquely designed, electronically operated patient lift built for the safe lifting of heavier patients. With a robust, clinical-grade construction and a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 850 lbs (386 kg), Calibre is engineered to support demanding care environments where reliability, maneuverability, and caregiver control are essential.
Calibre includes Smart Monitor technology that displays actual lift counts and provides recommended service reminders, helping drive user compliance and support lift longevity. It also comes with a built-in weigh scale to streamline routine care tasks. A distinctive extra-wide, wrap-around handle accommodates multiple caregivers and helps address push-pull force concerns seen with other lifts. Additionally, the articulated front castors help move heavier loads more easily across uneven flooring and thresholds.
Important: This product is intended to support safe transfers when used with appropriate slings and caregiver procedures. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, training guidance, and facility protocols.
Maneuverability / Portability
Calibre is designed to help caregivers manage heavy transfers with more control and less strain. The wrap-around handle provides access from multiple angles, supporting team-based maneuvering when needed. An intuitive push pad assists with initiating movement, helping reduce high push-pull forces.
