Mackworth Essentials 180 Mobile Hoist

This user-friendly hoist reduces the risk and strain to caregivers and allows for the safe transfer of people with limited mobility. The hoist’s design provides full dignity and well-being to the patient and is suitable for use in both professional and homecare environments.

This robust unit is suitable for everyday use with an impressive 180kg lifting capacity, powered leg opening, and market-leading Linak® actuators and motors. It has all the essential functions required to transfer a person safely. A single unit can care for many patients as the hoist is mobile.

We proudly assemble and test the Mackworth Essentials 180 in the UK.

Why not pair this hoist with one of our popular slings?

A sling is required as part of the hoisting system of a mobile hoist. Slings are available in various materials, shapes, and sizes to suit multiple requirements.

Mackworth, Prism and Care-ability branded slings provide excellent levels of comfort and support to the patient and are recommended for use with the Mackworth Essentials 180.
