Trusted by caregivers and healthcare professionals, the HPL402 combines dependable powered lifting performance with practical maneuverability for everyday patient handling.

Why Choose a Powered Patient Lift?

Powered patient lifts help reduce the physical demands associated with repetitive patient transfers while supporting safer positioning for both caregivers and patients. Compared to fully manual lifts, electric patient lifts can help create smoother lifting and lowering during transfers, reducing strain on the back, shoulders, and arms for caregivers assisting with daily mobility needs.

The Hoyer® HPL402 is designed for environments where dependable transfers are essential, including homecare, assisted living, rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care settings. Its powered boom operation and ergonomic controls support more controlled transfers between beds, wheelchairs, recliners, toilets, and other seated surfaces.

For many caregivers, a powered Hoyer lift can improve confidence and reduce transfer-related fatigue during daily routines while helping support safer patient handling practices.

Adjustable U-Base for Easier Positioning & Transfers

The Hoyer HPL402 features an adjustable U-base that widens and narrows using the integrated base adjustment handle. This allows the lift to improve positioning access around wheelchairs, recliners, commodes, and seating surfaces commonly used in homecare and facility environments.

When opened, the wider base improves stability and transfer positioning around larger seating surfaces. When narrowed, the compact base profile helps maneuver through tighter areas and around furniture more easily.

The low base clearance of only 5.5 inches allows the lift to slide under many beds and chairs, helping caregivers position the lift closer to the patient during transfers. This practical low-clearance design supports smoother transfer setups while improving accessibility in homecare environments.

Designed for Safer Caregiver Transfers

The HPL402 was engineered to support safer caregiver ergonomics during lifting and transport. Ergonomic push handles promote more natural hand positioning while maneuvering the lift, helping reduce awkward caregiver posture during transfers.

The reverse-mounted actuator increases knee and leg clearance for the patient while improving positioning access during lifting. Combined with smooth powered boom operation and responsive hand controls, the lift helps caregivers perform transfers with less physical effort compared to many fully manual systems.

This ergonomic design makes the Hoyer HPL402 especially beneficial for caregivers assisting with multiple daily transfers in homecare, rehabilitation, or assisted living settings.

Bed, Wheelchair & Floor Transfer Capability

The Hoyer HPL402 supports a wide range of transfer scenarios commonly encountered in patient care environments. It can assist with transfers between beds, wheelchairs, recliners, commodes, and seated surfaces while supporting patients up to 400 lbs.

With the appropriate sling and caregiver supervision, the lift may also assist with floor-level recovery situations where a patient requires lifting support from a low position. The powered boom and stable frame geometry help create more controlled lifting during these challenging transfer situations.

Its maneuverable caster design and adjustable base positioning help caregivers navigate around furniture and patient seating arrangements more efficiently during daily transfer routines.

Professional Safety Features & Emergency Lowering

The Hoyer HPL402 includes multiple safety-focused features designed to support dependable everyday patient handling. Powered boom lifting is controlled through the hand control and onboard battery system, while an emergency mechanical down-release allows caregivers to manually lower the boom if power becomes unavailable.

Leg guards and caster bumpers help protect walls, furniture, and the lift during maneuvering and positioning. The durable frame construction supports a safe working load of up to 400 lbs, making the HPL402 suitable for many homecare and facility transfer needs.

An optional integrated scale is also available for environments where patient weight monitoring may be beneficial during care routines.
