Dependable Full-Body Transfers for Everyday Home Care
The Protekt Onyx Hydraulic Patient Lift is a dependable manual Hoyer-style lift designed for safe, controlled full-body transfers without batteries, charging, or electricity. Its high-performance hydraulic system, 450 lb. weight capacity, adjustable base, and versatile spreader bar make it a practical choice for everyday transfers between beds, wheelchairs, chairs, and commodes.
With a base that narrows to just 22" and a lifting range from 17" to 61", the Onyx is especially well suited for home care environments where maneuverability around furniture, doorways, and lower beds matters.
Why Choose the Protekt Onyx Hydraulic Patient Lift?
450 lb. Full-Body Support Provides dependable Hoyer-style transfers for users who require full-body assistance during everyday transfers.
Smooth Hydraulic Operation High-performance hydraulics gradually raise and lower the user without batteries, charging, or electricity.
22" Narrow Adjustable Base The arched base closes to just 22" for easier maneuvering and opens to 42.25" for a wider stance during transfers.
Versatile Sling Compatibility The multi-point spreader bar accommodates multiple compatible sling styles for greater flexibility based on the user's transfer and support needs.
Simple, Controlled Hydraulic Transfers
The Protekt Onyx uses a manual hydraulic system to gradually raise and lower the user while a compatible sling provides full-body support throughout the transfer. Because there are no batteries or electronics required, the lift is always ready for use without worrying about charging.
The hand-operated base can be easily opened, closed, and locked into position, helping caregivers maneuver around beds, wheelchairs, chairs, and other furniture. Dual rear locking casters provide additional stability when positioning the lift for a transfer.
Designed for Home Care & Smaller Spaces
The Onyx combines full-body lifting capability with dimensions that work particularly well in residential environments. Its arched base closes to only 22" wide, making it easier to maneuver through tighter areas, while opening to 42.25" to provide a wider stance when needed.
A minimum lifting height of just 17" also makes the Onyx a practical choice when transferring from lower beds and other lower transfer surfaces.

Professional Quality Without the Price Tag
I’ve used similar lifts in hospitals, and this one performs just as well. For a home unit, the quality is outstanding.

Great capacity, very reliable
This lift is fantastic for heavier patients—it comfortably supports up to 450 lb, which is rare in many manual lifts. We’ve used it for several months and haven’t had any issues with stability or safety. The pump action is easy, and lowering is controlled. On the downside, the base spread is pretty wide, meaning it doesn’t fit under every bed frame. But overall, this lift delivers real value and reliability.

Good for heavy use, but hard to move
The Onyx lift does exactly what we need for transferring a heavier adult. It’s strong, stable, and gives us peace of mind. However, pushing it around the room, especially on carpet or uneven floors, is tiring and takes effort. If mobility isn’t your highest priority, this is fine—but if you need to move the lift frequently, you might find it a bit limiting.

Smooth, Easy, and Reliable
The hydraulic motion is very smooth and easy to control. I can lift my father without any strain or jerking — the Onyx performs beautifully every time.

Strong, dependable lift, just a little bulky
The Protekt Onyx lift feels very solid and capable. It lifts up to 450 lb with ease, and the hydraulic pump is well built, making transfers smooth and safe. The build quality is excellent, and it feels like it’ll last a long time. My main gripe is its size: the frame is a bit large, so maneuvering through tight corners or small rooms can be cumbersome. Still, for the capacity and safety, it’s a smart investment.

Ideal for Home Care
We use the Onyx every day for transfers from bed to wheelchair. It moves easily across our floors, and the base adjusts perfectly around furniture.

Solid, but a bit too tall
The lift is very strong, but its height is more than I expected, making it harder to work under certain beds or around some furniture. The hydraulic action works fine, though pumping can take a little effort. Overall not bad, but the height could be more compact.

Strong Yet Compact
The 450 lb capacity gives great peace of mind, but the lift itself isn’t bulky. It fits through doorways easily and stores nicely when not in use.

Excellent Manual Lift
We chose a manual lift to avoid battery charging, and the Onyx delivers. The pump handle is smooth, and it doesn’t take much effort to raise or lower.
