Joerns E340 Electric Hoyer Lift Unboxing & Setup

We just unboxed and set up our brand new Joerns Advance E340 electric patient lift — and we had absolutely NO prior experience with unboxing one of these! All of our previous lifts came in the door from a dealership already fully assembled. 😂 In this video, we're figuring it out together in real time: unboxing, assembling, charging, and testing our new battery-powered Hoyer lift from SpinLife.com. There may or may not be a moment where Holly tries to climb into the shipping box. (Spoiler: she fit.) And let's just say… our drywall did NOT make it out of this video unscathed. Just another reality of life in a wheelchair! You'll have to watch to see what happened. 🫣 This lift was made possible by some of the most generous friends we could ever ask for, who came together through a GoFundMe to bless us with equipment that's going to make daily life — and especially Tim's role as a caregiver — so much easier. We are genuinely overwhelmed with gratitude. 💛 Here's what we love about the Joerns E340: ⚡ Battery-powered (no more hand cranking — Tim's shoulders are already celebrating) 🪑 Low-profile legs that slide under lower chairs and furniture ↔️ Legs that spread extra wide to fit around wider chairs or exam tables ✈️ It folds up compact so we can take it with us when we travel! We also do a side-by-side comparison with our old manual hydraulic patient lift so you can see the difference for yourself. And yes — there's a moment where the lift won't go up, and we have to troubleshoot it live. Because that's real life with new medical equipment. You figure it out as you go. If you're a caregiver looking for lifting equipment that saves your body, or someone with a disability researching powered patient lifts for home use, we hope this honest, unfiltered walkthrough helps you decide what's right for you. 👇 Have you ever used a Hoyer lift?
