Description
The Oxford Advance Folding Hoist is one of the most functional and stylish mobile patient lifts in its class today. Suited to home care and small nursing institutions where space sometimes is simply not available.
The compact hoist is able to reach closer to furniture thanks to its well constructed legs. It assists with overcoming many challenges as it adapts well to a number of locations, whether it’s to transfer patients from the floor, a low bed, a wheelchair, or a toilet. It also fits into the trunk of the majority of family saloon cars, making it ideal for taking on holiday or day trips.
Main Oxford Advance Features:
- Safe working load 155kg / 24st / 342lbs
- Compact triangular folding design for easy transport and storage
- Smart Monitor diagnostic and service controls as standard
- Ergonomic design considerations and interaction points
- Angled leg design ensures excellent access around furniture
- Integrated safety system to help protect patients
Exceptionally Versatile
The Advance also has truly outstanding performance. The moment you move or operate this professional lifting device you are assured that every little detail has been considered throughout the meticulous design process. Furthermore, the Advance lends itself to those environments where space and storage are at a premium. It is especially useful in home settings and small nursing institutions where space sometimes is simply not available.
The Advance’s incredible lifting range ensures it can cope easily with the most critical of transfers. Examples include:
- Chair to chair transfers
- Bed to chair transfers
- Floor to chair transfers
- Chair to bath transfers
Compact Folding Design

Unlike other products on the market, the Advance needs NO tools or special attachments to achieve its compact folded position.
This functionality gives active people the option to travel outside the confines of their own home.
Triangular folded design: This useful feature ensures two very important functions:
(1) The lift stands unaided when being stored or transported.
(2) The lift can be left safely in the knowledge that it will not become unstable whilst not in use.
Ergonomic Design Considerations
The Oxford Advance Folding Hoist was designed with the five key principles of moving and handling in mind. This direct correlation ensures Oxford’s lift designs are simple, safe and above all, comfortable to use. This view is shared by our clinical consultant team, who have assisted us in conducting detailed usability surveys to ensure the Advance meets the true needs of the patient, carer and the environment in which it operates.

- Get close to the load
- Use a wide stable base
- Ensure a comfortable firm grasp
- Keep spine close to neutral
- Make sure movement is smooth
Smart™ Monitor
The Smart™ Monitor control system records the exact amount of work completed by the actuator each and every time the lift is used, regardless of a patient’s weight or lift height covered. The intelligent system advises the user to schedule key maintenance helping to ensure your lift remains in optimum condition.
- Identifies total lift actuations and work completed
- Identifies lift overloads (exceeding SWL)
- Identifies service interval periods
- Increases patient safety and product service life
‘Swan-neck’ Leg Design

The Advance’s unique ‘swan-neck’ leg design allows the lift to get even closer to the widest of obstacles. This is especially useful when encountering large chairs, bulky commodes and wheelchairs. The ‘swan-neck’ design also ensures that the patient feels safe and secure during the transfer process.
4-Point Positioning Cradle

A shallow 4-point positioning cradle is available as an accessory providing the carer with a greater choice of sling systems.
Note: Fitting a 4-point positioning cradle to the Oxford Advance negates the folding facility.
