A patient lifter, or hoist, is a mechanical device used by nurses, caregivers, and physiotherapists to safely transfer patients with limited mobility from one surface to another—for example, from a bed to a wheelchair, a chair to a commode, or even from the floor after a fall. Its primary clinical impact is the significant reduction of musculoskeletal injuries among healthcare staff, which are common from manual lifting, and the prevention of falls and skin tears for patients. Using a hoist enhances patient dignity and comfort during transfers, making it an essential tool for any facility serious about patient and staff safety.
The price for patient lifters in Nigeria ranges from NGN 850,000 for basic manual mobile hoists to over NGN 7 million for advanced, permanently installed ceiling-mounted hoist systems. The final price is driven by several factors: the power source (manual hydraulic vs. electric battery), the safe working load (e.g., 150kg vs. 250kg for bariatric patients), the brand reputation (e.g., Arjo, Invacare), and the number and type of slings included. Additional costs like installation for ceiling hoists, on-site staff training, extended warranty, foreign exchange fluctuations, and freight from Lagos to your facility will significantly impact the final quote. When you request a quote, ensure it is itemised with the hoist model, included slings, battery packs, warranty terms, and separate costs for training and delivery to avoid surprises.

Entry-level manual patient lifters with hydraulic pumps start from NGN 850,000 to NGN 1.5 million, while basic refurbished electric models can be found from NGN 1.2 million. These options typically offer a minimum safe working load of around 150kg and may come with a single, basic universal sling. Be aware of the limitations and hidden costs associated with the lowest-priced options. The warranty is often limited to 3-6 months and may not cover electronics or batteries. Crucially, the price rarely includes delivery to your site, on-site assembly, or the essential hands-on training required for your staff to use the device safely and correctly.
Contact Franance to get quotes from vetted suppliers who provide safe, reliable entry-level options with transparent pricing.
The most affordable, best-value option is a bundle that includes a reliable electric mobile hoist, two different types of slings (e.g., one universal, one toileting), a spare battery pack, and certified on-site user training, typically priced between NGN 2.5 million and NGN 4 million. This approach is more cost-effective over the first 12 months than buying the cheapest unit. It eliminates downtime caused by a single dead battery, ensures your staff can handle different transfer scenarios safely, and prevents misuse that leads to costly repairs. A single staff back injury from improper lifting can cost your facility more in lost workdays and medical bills than the entire hoist bundle.

You can find suppliers of patient lifters and hoists primarily in the commercial hubs of Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, but your verification process is more critical than their location. A credible supplier must be able to prove their legitimacy and technical capability. Start by verifying their company registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Next, demand evidence of their technical support structure, including a list of their trained biomedical engineers. Most importantly, ask for an authorization letter from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) proving they are an approved distributor. Franance simplifies this by maintaining a network of pre-vetted suppliers, where we have already conducted this due diligence, including checking their importation records and confirming their engineering support capacity.

The best patient hoists are those that match your specific clinical needs and budget. For top-tier, high-dependency environments like ICUs, the best options are ceiling-mounted systems like the Arjo Maxi Sky 2, which offer unparalleled ease of use and save critical floor space, with installed costs ranging from NGN 5 million to NGN 8 million+ per room. For general wards and bariatric care, a high-capacity mobile hoist like the Invacare Reliant 600 (NGN 4-6 million) is a top choice due to its robust build and 272kg weight capacity. For most private clinics and general hospitals, a mid-range electric mobile hoist such as the Joerns Healthcare Hoyer Presence (NGN 3-4.5 million) provides the best balance of performance, versatility, and cost.
Comparing patient hoist models requires you to look beyond price and evaluate specifications against your facility's environment and patient demographics. A key differentiator is mobility: a foldable hoist like the Hoyer Advance is ideal for mobile clinics or facilities with storage constraints, while a fixed-frame hoist like the Invacare Birdie EVO is more robust for high-frequency use in a hospital ward. Ceiling hoists like the Arjo Maxi Sky 2 eliminate the issue of floor space and maneuverability entirely but require significant structural installation.
| Tier | Best For | Key Specs | Est. Lead Time | Maintenance Needs | Power Needs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry (Manual) | Small clinics, low budget | 150kg capacity, hydraulic pump | 2-4 weeks | Annual lubrication, seal checks | None |
| Mid (Mobile Electric) | General hospital wards | 180kg capacity, electric actuator, 24V battery | 4-8 weeks | Annual service, battery checks | Standard 220V outlet for charging |
| Advanced (Ceiling) | ICU, high-dependency units | 200kg+ capacity, motorised traverse | 10-16 weeks | Bi-annual track & motor service | Dedicated power, professional install |
| Specialty (Bariatric) | Bariatric/obesity centres | 250kg+ capacity, wide base, heavy-duty frame | 8-12 weeks | Bi-annual service, load testing | Standard 220V outlet for charging |
The best and most reliable patient hoist brands available in Nigeria are Arjo, Invacare, and Joerns Healthcare (Hoyer), each with a strong reputation for safety, durability, and engineering quality. Arjo is a premium brand, often considered the gold standard and found in leading tertiary hospitals; their models like the Maxi Move mobile hoist are known for advanced features. Invacare offers an excellent balance of performance and cost, with models like the Birdie EVO being extremely popular for their versatility in general hospital settings. Joerns Healthcare's Hoyer line, including the Presence and Advance models, is renowned for robust, user-friendly designs and reliability. Choosing one of these brands ensures better access to service, spare parts, and training through their authorised Nigerian distributors.
Patient hoist prices in Nigeria fall into distinct ranges based on their type and capability, but these are always subject to change due to FX rates and shipping costs.
When you receive a range-based quote, it's crucial to understand what's included. For example, a quote for a mobile hoist might be "NGN 3.2M - 3.5M depending on sling selection." This means the base unit is NGN 3.2M, and adding specialised slings increases the price. For a ceiling hoist, a quote of "NGN 6M - 8M" could depend on the complexity of the ceiling installation and the length of the track required. Always ask for a line-item breakdown to see how foreign exchange, freight, customs clearance, and local delivery contribute to the final price.
The five most decisive specifications that impact clinical use and ownership cost are Safe Working Load (SWL), lifting height range, base width adjustment, battery performance, and sling compatibility. An SWL of 180kg is standard, but a bariatric unit with a 250kg+ SWL is essential for specialised care. The lifting range must be sufficient to pick up a patient from the floor and lift them onto your highest hospital bed. An adjustable base is critical for maneuvering around wide wheelchairs or under low-clearance beds. For electric hoists, look for a battery that provides at least 40-60 lifts per charge to avoid mid-shift power loss. Finally, ensure the hoist's spreader bar is compatible with a wide range of loop-style slings, as this gives you flexibility.
Installation for a mobile patient hoist is straightforward assembly that takes a qualified technician 1-2 hours. However, a ceiling-mounted hoist requires a complex, multi-day turnkey installation process that can cost between NGN 500,000 and NGN 1.5 million per room, separate from the hoist's price. This process begins with a structural engineer assessing the ceiling's load-bearing capacity. This is followed by the installation of a steel gantry or direct mounting of the track system, electrical wiring, and finally, the mounting of the hoist cassette. The critical final steps are the load test, where a certified weight is used to calibrate and verify the SWL, and comprehensive training for your clinical staff.
Contact Franance to manage a complete, turnkey installation of your patient hoist system, from structural assessment and logistics to load testing and staff training.
Delivery timelines and costs vary significantly based on origin and final destination. For in-stock items in Lagos, delivery to a local facility takes 2-3 business days, while nationwide delivery to cities like Abuja or Kano can take 5-10 days and add 5-10% to the total cost. For new units imported via air freight, expect a 3-4 week timeline from payment to arrival in Nigeria, plus another week for customs clearance and local delivery. Sea freight is more economical for bulk orders but takes 8-12 weeks. The process involves securing a Form M, processing the PAAR, paying customs duties and port fees, and arranging insured inland logistics. A good supplier, or a partner like Franance, will manage this entire process for you.
A standard warranty for a new patient hoist in Nigeria is 12 months on the frame and major components, but often only 6 months on electronics, batteries, and hand controls. For true peace of mind, you need a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) which typically costs 10-15% of the unit's purchase price annually. A vendor's warranty may only cover parts, leaving you to pay for the engineer's labour and travel. A robust SLA should guarantee a 48-hour engineer response time, include two preventive maintenance visits per year to perform lubrication and safety checks, and ensure the availability of critical spare parts locally.
Certified refurbished patient hoists are available in Nigeria with prices ranging from NGN 1.5 million to NGN 3 million, offering a significant 30-40% cost saving over new units. It is critical to distinguish between "used" and "certified refurbished." A properly refurbished unit from a reputable source will have been stripped down, inspected, and rebuilt with new critical components like the battery, lifting actuator, and castors. It must be sold with a new set of slings, a recent load test certificate, and a warranty of at least 6-12 months. This makes it a safe and viable option for facilities with limited budgets.
To verify you are buying an original patient hoist, you must demand an official Manufacturer Authorization Letter from the Nigerian supplier. This is the single most important document. Additionally, check the unit for a clear serial number plate and try to verify it on the manufacturer's global website or with their regional office. Red flags for fake or substandard equipment include a price that is drastically lower than all other quotes (e.g., 50% cheaper), poor quality welds and finishes, misspelled branding, and the absence of safety certification marks (like CE). A fake hoist is a major patient and staff safety risk and a liability for your facility.
The most critical accessories for a patient hoist are the patient slings, with prices ranging from NGN 80,000 for a basic universal sling to NGN 250,000 for a specialized hygiene or amputee sling. Other essential accessories include a spare battery pack (NGN 150,000 - NGN 300,000) to eliminate downtime during charging, and a digital weighing scale attachment (NGN 200,000+) for accurate patient weight monitoring. The best strategy is to bundle these accessories with the initial hoist purchase. This not only ensures your team is fully equipped from day one but also saves you significant costs on separate delivery and logistics in the future.
Electric patient hoists require a standard 220-240V, 50Hz wall outlet for charging their internal battery system. The hoist itself operates on a low-voltage DC battery (typically 24V), so it is safe for use near patients and is not directly impacted by power outages (NEPA/PHCN). However, the charging unit is extremely sensitive to the power surges and fluctuations common in Nigeria. To protect your investment and prevent premature battery failure, you must plug the charger into a high-quality surge protector or, ideally, a 650VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). This ensures a clean, stable power supply to the charger, prolonging the life of both the charger and the expensive battery pack.
As a Class I medical device, patient lifters must comply with the standards set by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON). For any new unit imported into the country, your supplier must be able to provide a SONCAP (Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme) certificate as proof of compliance. While patient hoists do not require registration with NAFDAC, your facility is responsible for maintaining a compliance dossier for each unit. This includes keeping records of the initial load test certification, a log of all maintenance activities, and proof of annual re-calibration and load testing to ensure it remains safe for use under Nigerian healthcare facility regulations.
Financing options for acquiring patient hoists include traditional bank loans, asset leasing agreements, and specialized healthcare financing facilitated by Franance. Nigerian commercial banks may offer asset financing with interest rates between 25% and 30% per annum, typically requiring a 30% equity contribution and a 4-8 week approval process. Leasing is an alternative that spreads the cost over 24-36 months with predictable monthly payments, preserving your capital for other needs. Franance works with a network of lenders to offer more flexible terms and can often expedite the approval process to 2-3 weeks, helping you secure the equipment you need faster.
The 5-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a mid-range electric patient hoist purchased for NGN 3 million is approximately NGN 5.5 million. This calculation goes far beyond the initial purchase price. It includes the initial cost (NGN 3m), plus four years of annual preventive maintenance contracts at roughly NGN 250,000 per year (NGN 1m), one mid-life battery replacement at NGN 250,000, and the purchase of 2-3 replacement slings over the five years at an average of NGN 150,000 each (NGN 450,000). Factoring in initial and ongoing staff training costs brings the true cost into focus, demonstrating that reliability and service support are more important than a low initial price.
For high-acuity environments like ICUs, operating theatres, and spinal injury units, ceiling-mounted hoist systems such as the Arjo Maxi Sky 2 are the recommended standard. They provide immediate, unimpeded access for patient transfers, repositioning, and proning, saving critical floor space. For general and bariatric wards, high-capacity mobile hoists like the Invacare Reliant 600 or Joerns Hoyer Presence are essential, offering the flexibility to serve multiple rooms with robust frames and safe working loads of over 220kg.
For private clinics and diagnostic centres that see a diverse patient population, a versatile and maneuverable electric mobile hoist is the most practical choice. Models like the Invacare Birdie EVO or the foldable Hoyer Advance are ideal. They offer a good balance of a 180kg weight capacity, an adjustable base to navigate around clinic furniture, and the ability to be stored compactly when not in use. The focus should be on reliability and ease of use for a small, multi-tasking clinical team.
For NGOs and mobile health programs, the primary requirements are durability, portability, and simplicity. A foldable hoist is non-negotiable. The Joerns Hoyer Advance (available in both manual and electric versions) is an excellent choice as it can be folded without tools into a compact size for transport in a van or SUV. A manual hydraulic version is often preferred for field use as it eliminates reliance on electricity for charging, making it more reliable in remote or off-grid locations.
In critical care settings like A&E, Theatre, and ICU, patient handling must be swift, safe, and unobstructed. For fixed bays in an ICU, a ceiling hoist system is superior, allowing 360-degree patient access without a mobile unit's footprint. In the dynamic environment of A&E, a robust electric mobile hoist with a low-profile chassis is needed to get under emergency trolleys and beds. The key specification is a powered base for effortless widening and narrowing in tight spaces, combined with a 4-point spreader bar for maximum patient stability during urgent transfers.

Honest answers about scope, pricing, delivery and support so you can plan with confidence.
A new mobile patient hoist in Nigeria costs between NGN 450,000 and NGN 1,800,000. A manual hydraulic model like the Drive Medical 13023 is at the lower end, while a battery-powered electric model such as the Invacare Reliant 450 is at the higher end. Price depends on weight capacity, brand, and power source. Bariatric models can exceed NGN 2,500,000.
The price range for a mobile patient lifter in Abuja is typically NGN 500,000 to NGN 2,000,000. For example, a standard electric lifter like the Joerns Hoyer Advance-E would fall in the middle of this range. Prices in Abuja may be slightly higher than in Lagos due to logistics costs. Always factor in shipping and installation fees from your supplier.
Yes, affordable manual hydraulic patient lifters for home use are available from NGN 400,000. Models like the ProBasics Manual Patient Lift are designed for home environments and offer basic, reliable functionality for users up to 180kg. They are a cost-effective solution compared to electric models, but require more physical effort from the caregiver.
You can buy patient hoists from major medical equipment suppliers located in areas like Ikeja, Surulere, and Lagos Island. Reputable vendors will have showrooms where you can see models like the Arjo Sara Stedy or Invacare Jasmine. Always verify that the supplier provides after-sales service and has trained technicians before you purchase.
Choose a supplier in Port Harcourt by verifying their track record with local hospitals like The Shield Specialist Hospital or Prime Medical Consultants. Ask if they are authorized dealers for brands like Joerns or Guldmann. A reliable supplier will offer on-site demonstrations, a minimum 12-month warranty, and have a dedicated technical support team for maintenance and repairs.
Yes, you can get financing for patient hoists through medical equipment financing companies. For example, Franance provides lease-to-own options that allow you to acquire multiple units, such as the Arjo Maxi Move, without a large upfront capital outlay. This spreads the cost over 12-36 months, making advanced equipment more accessible for your facility.
You must check the Safe Working Load (SWL), lift range (height), and base width. For instance, the Invacare Reliant 600 has an SWL of 272kg, making it suitable for bariatric patients. Ensure the lifter's base can fit under beds and around chairs in your facility. Also, confirm the battery life and charging time for electric models, which is typically 6-8 hours.
A manual hoist uses a hydraulic pump operated by the caregiver, while an electric hoist uses a battery-powered motor controlled by a handset. A manual model like the Drive Medical 13023 is cheaper but requires physical effort. An electric model like the Joerns Hoyer Presence offers smoother, effortless lifting at a higher cost, reducing caregiver strain and improving patient comfort.
Buying a new patient lifter is better for warranty and reliability, especially for high-use facilities. A new Arjo Maxi Move comes with a manufacturer's warranty and the latest safety features. Refurbished units can be 30-50% cheaper but may lack warranty and have a shorter lifespan. If you choose refurbished, ensure it's from a reputable supplier who provides a load test certificate.
A standard single-room ceiling track hoist installation, like for a Guldmann GH3 system, typically takes 1 to 2 days. This includes a structural survey of the ceiling, mounting the track, installing the motor, and commissioning. Complex multi-room installations can take up to a week. Always use a certified installer to ensure safety and structural integrity.
Most electric mobile patient hoists use rechargeable 24V battery packs. The charging station plugs into a standard 220-240V Nigerian wall socket. For example, the Invacare Birdie EVO's charger requires a standard outlet. A fully charged battery typically provides 40-60 lifts, depending on the load. It is crucial to have a dedicated charging point and a spare battery for continuous operation.
First, check that the charger is properly plugged into the wall and the charging light is on. Ensure the battery pack is correctly seated on the charging station. If it still won't charge, the battery may have reached the end of its life, typically 2-3 years. Contact your supplier for a replacement battery pack, specifying your model, such as the Arjo Maxi Sky 2.
First, check the remote's battery and replace it if necessary. Then, inspect the cable connecting the remote to the hoist for any damage or loose connections. If it's a pneumatic remote, check for air leaks in the tubing. If these steps fail, the remote's internal circuit may be faulty. You will need to order a replacement handset specific to your Arjo model from your equipment supplier.
A patient lifter should be professionally serviced and LOLER-inspected every 6 months for high-use environments like hospitals, and at least annually for home use. This is crucial for safety and compliance. For example, a facility using multiple Joerns Hoyer Presence lifters should schedule bi-annual checks with a certified technician to maintain operational safety and prevent unexpected failures.
A standard maintenance check includes a visual inspection of the frame and sling, lubrication of moving parts, battery performance test, and a load test to confirm its Safe Working Load (SWL). For an electric model like the Invacare Reliant, the technician will also check the actuator, control box, and handset connections. A certificate of inspection should be issued upon completion.
Yes, patient hoists, as medical devices, should ideally comply with Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements to ensure they meet safety and quality standards. When purchasing a new hoist, like an Arjo Tenor, ask the supplier for a SONCAP certificate or proof of compliance with international standards like CE or ISO 13485, which SON often recognizes.
The typical weight capacity of a bariatric patient lifter ranges from 270kg to 450kg (600 lbs to 1000 lbs). For instance, the Joerns Hoyer Calibre has a Safe Working Load of 385kg. These lifters feature wider bases and reinforced frames to safely manage larger patients. Always match the lifter's capacity to the specific needs of your patient population.
You should arrange for on-site training from the equipment supplier when you purchase the hoist. Training for a model like the Liko Golvo 9000 should cover daily checks, correct sling application, emergency lowering procedures, and hands-on practice with different transfer scenarios. Document this training for all clinical staff and conduct annual refresher courses to ensure continued competence and safety.
The best and most reputable patient hoist brands available in Nigeria are Arjo, Invacare, and Joerns Hoyer. These brands are known for their reliability, safety features, and strong after-sales support through local distributors. For example, Arjo models like the Maxi Move are widely used in top Nigerian hospitals for their durability and ergonomic design.
Leasing is better if you want to conserve capital and have predictable monthly costs, while buying is better for long-term ownership without recurring payments. Leasing a fleet of Invacare Reliant hoists via a service like Franance includes maintenance, reducing operational burdens. Buying is a capital expenditure but gives you full ownership of the asset. Evaluate your budget and operational capacity to decide.
A sit-to-stand lifter is a device used to assist patients who have some weight-bearing ability but need help rising from a seated position. It is ideal for transfers to a toilet or wheelchair and for rehabilitation. For example, the Arjo Sara Stedy encourages patient participation, helping to maintain muscle tone and mobility for patients who are partially dependent.
To verify a supplier, ask for their official dealership certificate from Invacare. Check the product for a serial number and original branding, not stickers. A genuine Invacare Reliant 450 will have a stamped metal plate with the model, serial number, and manufacturing date. You can also contact Invacare's regional office to confirm the supplier's authorized status.
Joerns Hoyer lifters are compatible with loop-style slings, which are the industry standard. You can use universal slings, full-body slings, or toileting slings from brands like Hoyer, Invacare, or Drive as long as they use the loop attachment system. For a model like the Hoyer Presence, ensure the sling's weight capacity exceeds the patient's weight for safety.
Before first use each day, check that the wheels move freely and the brakes lock securely. Inspect the sling for any fraying or tears. For an electric hoist like the Invacare Birdie, test the up/down controls and the emergency stop button. Finally, confirm the battery is sufficiently charged for the day's tasks. This entire check should take less than 5 minutes.
The standard warranty period for a new patient lifter in Nigeria is 12 to 24 months. Premium brands like Arjo or Guldmann often offer a 2-year warranty on the frame and key components like the actuator. Always confirm the specific warranty terms with your supplier, as it may differ for parts like batteries and handsets, which typically have a 6-month warranty.
Yes, a patient hoist is ideal for bathroom transfers, but you must use the correct sling. A toileting sling, which has a large aperture, is specifically designed for this purpose. For a mobile hoist like the Joerns Hoyer Advance-E, ensure its base can fit around the toilet base. For bathing, you must use a sling made of quick-drying mesh material.
The ceiling structure must be strong enough to support the hoist's maximum load plus a significant safety factor, typically 1.5 times the Safe Working Load. For a Guldmann GH3 with a 250kg SWL, the ceiling joists (wood or concrete) must be assessed by a structural engineer. The installer will use specialized brackets to securely fix the track to these joists, ensuring the load is distributed safely.
A grinding noise often indicates a problem with the lifting actuator's internal gears or a lack of lubrication. Immediately stop using the hoist and remove it from service. Check for any visible obstructions in the mast. If the noise persists, it requires a technician. For a model like the Arjo Maxi Move, this is a sign that the actuator may need servicing or replacement.
Delivery and installation costs for a mobile patient lifter in Kano typically range from NGN 50,000 to NGN 150,000, depending on the supplier's location. This fee covers freight from Lagos or Abuja and the technician's time for assembly, testing, and basic user training. For a ceiling hoist, installation is more complex and can cost between NGN 200,000 and NGN 500,000.
To get a quote, contact at least three reputable medical equipment suppliers with a detailed request specifying the number of units, required models (e.g., 5 Invacare Reliant 450s), and any specific features like integrated scales. Also, request pricing for a multi-year service contract. For financing options on a bulk purchase, you can approach an asset financing partner like Franance for a lease-to-own proposal.
