Patient Carrying Hoists

What is a Hoist or Lift? A hoist is simply a type of mechanical device for lifting that can work to elevate someone from a sitting position, and move them safely into another area, such as a bathtub, seat, or bed. Some hoists can even carry patients horizontally between areas in a room. Get In Touch.

Different Types Of Hoists


POOL HOISTS

Pool Hoists are most commonly installed by pools in leisure centres, hotels and other communal areas where hot tubs, hydrotherapy pools, jacuzzis, public pools or spas exist. They are low maintenance products and can be used to hoist people above and below water. Some pool hoists can be permanently fixed to the poolside, while other products, such as the I-Swim Pool Hoist, are designed to be a mobile product.


BATH HOISTS

These hoists are a necessity for many patients who struggle with mobility issues, including those who may be unable to wash without the aid of a carer. Bath Hoists can be utilised for any type of existing baths, which can save our customers from having to replace entire bath fixtures. Created with a stainless steel frame to prevent rusting, certain bath hoists are designed with the option to move hoist controls nearer to the bath user, which can provide more independence. Additionally, certain bathing hoists offer a 360 ĚŠrotating chair for ease of use in many locations.


CEILING HOISTS

Ceiling Hoists are highly sophisticated, permanent fixtures which are installed overhead with a track system. This effectively allows patients to be transferred with minimal discomfort and risk of injury. Ceiling hoists also increase floor space and certain models can also be height adjusted accordingly with the size of the room. Suitable for use in both public and private spaces, ceiling hoists can reduce the support required from carers. Find Out More

MOBILE HOISTS

Mobile Hoists are primarily used in the moving and handling of patients. Unlike ceiling hoists, these products can be used for two purposes - to help with standing and lifting. Considerably less bulky than static products, mobile hoists are designed to be lightweight and easily transportable. With high weight capacities of up to 180kg, the hoists are often available in electric and hydraulic options. However, it is recommended that mobile hoists are to be used for short distances only - for example, to travel around a room or to get to and from a bath.

HOIST SLINGS

Slings are not hoists in their own right but can be used with existing hoist mechanisms to transfer patients. You can find slings with added features to support the head and to secure the person for safe transfers.

Different Types Of Slings:

  • Bathing Slings
  • Toileting Slings
  • In-Situ Slings
  • Transfer Slings
  • Standing Slings
