2. Introduction: About Your Lift
Each Journey lift is fully assembled, load tested and certified before being packed/shipped.
The packing consists of a strong, purpose built carton to ensure the safe arrival of the lift. A
number of documents are supplied in a wallet, and packed with each lift and should be kept
safely for future reference:
• TEST CERTIFICATE • USER MANUAL
The TEST CERTIFICATE is an important document and should be kept for reference purposes.
To properly maintain your lift please refer to the maintenance schedule included in this document. If
you are at all unsure what your country’s servicing requirements are, please check with your dealer
and/or a local government agency.
Statement of Intended Use (Journey)
The intended use of this lifting device is for the safe lifting and transfer of an individual from one
resting surface to another (such as a bed to a wheelchair). Joerns Healthcare recommends that
the transfer of a patient is fully risk assessed and conducted safely over a short distance only.
The Hoyer Journey is suitable for patients in the SITTING position only who have a degree
of weight-bearing ability but require assistance to stand. By removing the foot tray, the Hoyer
Journey patient lift can also be used as a walking aid following a careful risk assessment.
The Hoyer Journey is designed to support and promote safe patient handling and transfer for
both the patient and carer. It can be folded without the use of tools enabling it to be easily stored
in environments where space is limited or to facilitate onward transportation in a vehicle with a
suitably sized trunk.
The Hoyer Journey stand aid is designed to be used in conjunction with the Hoyer range of
slings. The examples of slings suitable for use with this device are listed as follows:
• Hoyer Standing Sling
• Hoyer Transport Sling
Expected Service Life
Hoyer Professional lifts are designed and tested for a minimum service life of ten (10) years,
subject to the use and maintenance procedures stated in this manual. Use, other than in accordance
with these instructions, may compromise service life.
