Description
The Invacare 9805P is one of the most widely used home care patient lifts in the country. It is a manual hydraulic lift: the caregiver works a pump handle to raise the person and turns a release valve to lower them. There are no batteries to charge and no motor to fail, which makes it a dependable, budget-friendly way to move someone from a bed to a wheelchair, commode or recliner.
A full-body lift like this is meant for a person who cannot bear weight or help with the transfer. The sling carries the whole body, so the caregiver is not lifting with their back. The 9805P supports up to 450 lbs. and has a lifting range of 20″ to 64″, which covers most beds, chairs and even transfers from the floor.
Key Features
- 450 lb. weight capacity.
- Padded 6-point swivel bar that turns a full 360 degrees for easy positioning.
- Pump handle rotates side to side so the caregiver can work from either side of the mast.
- Adjustable-width base that opens to go around chairs and closes to fit through doorways.
- Low-friction casters for smooth rolling on carpet and hard floors.
- Lightweight frame that disassembles without tools for storage and transport.
- Works with Invacare Premier, Reliant and standard slings (sold separately).
Why Choose a Hydraulic Patient Lift?
A hydraulic lift is the simplest kind of full-body lift. Each stroke of the pump handle raises the boom a little, so the caregiver controls the speed of the lift. Lowering is just as easy: a slow turn of the release knob brings the person down gently. Because nothing needs charging, the lift is always ready, even during a power outage. For families who make a few transfers a day, the Invacare 9805P is often all that is needed.
If transfers happen many times a day, or the caregiver has shoulder or hand problems, an electric lift may be a better fit. See our electric patient lifts for push-button options.
Base and Fit
The base legs spread from 22″ to 42.25″ wide, so you can open them around a wheelchair or recliner and close them to roll through a standard doorway. The overall length is 46.75″. Check the clearance under your bed before you buy: the lift legs need to roll under the bed frame. Our team is happy to measure with you.

Using the Invacare 9805P Safely
Use the right sling size and check every strap before lifting. Open the base legs for stability when lifting, and lock the caregiver-side casters only as the manufacturer directs. Lift the person just high enough to clear the surface. The 9805P is a transfer device, not a transport device, so do not use it to move someone from room to room. Have a nurse or therapist train you before your first transfer.
