Devices to Lift Elderly off Floor Australia FAQs

What types of floor hoist models are available at Enable Lifecare, and how do they differ?
  • Passive floor hoists (Oxford Advance, Midi, and Presence) provide full lifting support for clients unable to bear weight.
  • Active stand aids (Oxford Journey, Ascend) assist partially weight-bearing clients, encouraging independence and mobility.
How long does a fully charged floor hoist battery last during normal operation?

A fully charged Oxford hoist battery typically provides around 40–60 lift cycles under normal use, depending on load weight, lift height, and model type. Regular charging and maintenance ensure consistent performance and extend the overall battery life.

How do I choose the correct sling size and material for lifting aids for the elderly? Size:
  • Slings are available from small to extra large, with sizing based on different body measurements. Different sling designs require different measurements, which is why we provide individual sling measurement guides for each model on our website.

Material:

  • Polyester: durable and quick-drying, suitable for general transfers.
  • Net and mesh: ideal for bathing and showering.
  • Padded: provides added comfort for longer or sensitive lifts.
  • Stretch fabric: allows for a snug, contoured fit and reduces interference with support surface pressure redistribution when left underneath clients.
How do I know which sling type is compatible with my Oxford patient lifting hoist?

Oxford hoists use two sling attachment types depending on the spreader bar fitted. Always match the sling to the hoist and never mix systems. Check the Safe Working Load (SWL); ensure the sling is approved for your hoist model; and inspect it before each use. If unsure, refer to your Oxford user manual or contact Enable Lifecare.

Are Oxford stand hoists compatible with other client-handling systems?

Yes. Oxford hoists are compatible with client-handling systems such as hospital beds, shower chairs, and commodes, provided there’s adequate clearance and access space. Oxford hoists integrate easily into multi-equipment care environments, supporting safe, seamless transfers for clients and carers.
