HoverJack® Air Patient Lift

Maximizing Patient Comfort and Safety

The HoverJack Air Patient Lift allows caregivers to safely lift individuals who have fallen with fewer caregivers. The HoverJack consists of four chambers that are inflated to comfortably lift individuals from the floor to a bed or stretcher height.

The HoverJack can be used with the HoverMatt Air Transfer Mattress to provide caregivers a safe and efficient no-lift solution. After the individual has been lifted using the HoverJack, the HoverMatt can safely laterally transfer them to a bed or stretcher.

HT-Air Supply (sold separately) offers two airflow speeds, as well as a variable speed option for a gradual inflation, for patients who are sensitive, anxious and/or in pain. Learn More >

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the weight limit of the HoverJack?

The HoverJack has a weight limit of 1,200 lbs.

Can you over-inflate a HoverJack Device and cause it to burst?

No, not if you are using the HoverTech International Air Supply. The HoverJack Devices have been tested under conditions that would “over-inflate” using this air supply.

Can you perform CPR on the HoverJack?

No. The HoverJack Devices are made to be stable regardless of how many chambers are inflated. However, the chambers MUST be inflated consecutively from the floor up. Each chamber should be fully inflated before inflating the next chamber.

What is the life expectancy of the HoverJack?

There is not an exact answer regarding the HoverJack except that there are many factors that can affect the life expectancy. In the HoverJack’s favor is the fact that it isn’t laundered and is used less frequently than a HoverMatt. Please refer to the HoverJack User Manual for full cleaning & maintenance instructions.

Is the HoverJack Air Patient Lift FDA approved?

HoverTech International is registered with the FDA. The HoverJack is listed as a Class II exempt device.

Can we use the HoverJack to lift a patient a moderate amount, or must all chambers be inflated for it to be stable?

Yes. Chest compressions will be just as effective on the HoverJack Air Patient Lift as compared to on a hard ground surface.  Please be sure to advise caregivers that compressions will only be effective if HoverJack chambers are fully inflated and hard to the touch.  It is possible to get effective compressions with only one, two, or three HoverJack chambers fully inflated.
