About Drive Samsoft Elite 180 Foldable Patient Lift
Drive Samsoft Elite 180 foldable patient lift — an advanced hoist that combines a 180 kg lifting capacity with electric leg spreading and tool-free folding. It suits both home care and care settings, and you operate every function at the touch of a button.
How the electric mobile hoist works
The Samsoft Elite 180 has a lifting range from 470 to 1780 mm, which means you can lift a person straight from the floor. The electric leg spreading opens the legs to an inner width of 1120 mm, while the low ground clearance of just 26 mm makes it easier to pass through doorways. The control box has a colour LCD showing battery level and service reminders, and the magnetic handset attaches anywhere on the unit.
Benefits of this electric mobile hoist
- Folds in seconds without tools for compact storage
- Robust construction with a 180 kg lifting capacity for safe transfers
- Large lifting range of 470–1780 mm, which also makes floor lifts possible
- IPX6 water resistance allows use in bathrooms and damp environments
- Lithium-ion battery that you charge on the base or separately in a docking station
- 5 year warranty on structure and actuator gives confidence in daily use
You fold the lift in a few seconds without tools. Using the handset you retract the lifting bar into the mast, and the construction shields the actuator completely. You can then store the lift under a bed and save space.
Who is this for?
The Samsoft Elite suits you who need a dependable lifting solution at home or in a care setting. Because it folds, you can store the lift under a bed when it is not in use, which saves space. The electric leg spreading means the carer does not have to strain physically, and the large lifting range also helps with lifts from the floor after a fall.
Safety and quality
The Samsoft Elite 180 meets ISO 10535:2021 and has several safety features. Emergency lowering, an emergency stop button and mast locking are standard. The lifting bar also has curved return hooks that stop the sling loops sliding off during a lift. The low noise level of under 55 dB means the lift works discreetly in a home environment.
