There are many new [manual] Hoyer lifts out there that are not very expensive.
When I had my manual one for many many many many years... it was still working but my husband was concerned that it was getting old and he didn't want to "risk" it failing on me and me getting hurt so he purchased me a brand new electric one. :-) Ironically, I got a phone call from a lady the other day who was looking for a home for her [like new] manual lift because her father just got it but he passed away. I may call her back to get it from her as a "backup" lift. On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 10:27 AM, RONALD L PRACHT <[email protected]> wrote: > I picked a used hoyer lift up off craigslist for 125.00.
