Or if needed, makes for ease in a caregiver-aided situation. With the outstanding ratings, we found no negative feedback on this lift—definitely a reassuring fact!

The Joerns Hoyer Classic Pool Lift is an excellent value for a swimming pool lift. If you’re looking for an affordable, manual option in a pool lift, we love the price and simplicity of this design.

It can be installed by either anchoring the bottom with smaller holes or drilling a larger hole into the concrete to cement the steel sleeve in place.
