Choosing the Right Accessories
Accessories for your standing aid or patient hoist keep the system running safely and efficiently. This includes replacement batteries, chargers, hand-control units and digital lift scales that are engineered to match specific Molift models. Selecting the exact compatible part ensures optimal performance, protects warranty coverage and meets Australian safety regulations.
Types of Accessories
High-capacity Li-Ion or NiMH batteries and matching chargers restore lift power when the original pack wears out. Choose the battery that matches your hoist's voltage, amp-hour rating and model series for reliable operation.
Ergonomic hand-control units let you operate the hoist with precision and comfort. They are designed for specific Smart, Mover and 300 series models to ensure seamless integration.
Digital lift scales provide accurate load measurements, helping you stay within safe working limits. Additional add-ons such as remote controllers are also model-specific to maintain system safety.
Key Features to Consider Before Buying
Each accessory lists compatible hoist models (e.g., Smart 150, Mover 180, 205, 300) so you can verify fit before ordering. Ordering the wrong part can void warranty and reduce lift performance.
Battery type (Li-Ion 25.2 V 2.85 Ah, NiMH variants) determines charge cycles and runtime per charge. Knowing the capacity helps you plan lift sessions and avoid unexpected downtime.
All accessories comply with Australian Standard 10535:2011 and carry an ARTG number, confirming they meet national safety requirements. This compliance is essential for clinical use and user safety.
Warranty length varies significantly by item and manufacturer — some batteries carry as little as 6 months, others longer — so always check the specific product listing rather than assuming a blanket period. Maintaining compatibility and proper installation protects the warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Locate the exact model name on your hoist (e.g., Smart 150, Mover 180, 300) and compare it to the compatibility list on the accessory page. If you're unsure, check the hoist's user manual or contact our support with the model number to confirm the correct part.
Only batteries that match the specified voltage, capacity and safety certifications should be used. Generic batteries often lack the required ARTG approval and may not meet Australian Standard 10535:2011, which can compromise performance and void the warranty.
Warranty length varies by item - for example, one battery model lists a 6-month warranty - so always check the specific product listing rather than assuming a blanket period. Keeping the original receipt helps streamline any claim.
While many accessories, such as batteries and hand controls, can be installed by a trained caregiver, certain items like digital lift scales may require a qualified technician to ensure correct calibration and safety compliance. When in doubt, consult a professional.
