Hospital wards and care homes use the Maxi Move 5 to transfer patients between bed, chair, and other surfaces without straining staff. Motion Assist adds powered help as the caregiver pushes, pulls or turns the lifter. With the Powered Dynamic Positioning System, a single caregiver can manage the transfer while staying beside the patient. Controls on the mast and the hand control keep that person close throughout.
Residents with cognitive impairment are part of the design brief. The soft-start lift and quiet operation avoid sudden movement and noise, while rounded corners and contrasting colours make the lifter easier to read and approach. The coated, non-porous lifting strap makes cleaning between residents easier, and the hand control has an IPX7 rating.
The lifting range starts at 104 mm, so the lifter reaches patients close to the floor, and its top height of 1542 mm clears high beds and surfaces. Extra-low castors bring leg clearance down to 59 mm for furniture with little space underneath. The stretcher frame, with soft, strap, or scoop stretchers, covers transfers where the patient needs to lie flat, and the Combi Attachment quickly switches between stretcher and spreader bar. The high-capacity version supports heavier patients, rated at 272 kg, a nd has a wider chassis that opens to 1219 mm. Units that record weight as part of care can add the integrated scale, and the hand control's cycle counter and overload indicator help staff track use and loading. Wall-mounted charging and a spare battery pack keep the lifter available across shifts.
