What Is This Patient Hoist For?

Patient hoists are designed for safe transfers of patients with limited or impaired mobility. The sling attached to the lift (sold separately) can be used to pick up patients from a variety of positions, and can lift them from floor level. Once the patient has been comfortably positioned in the sling, the entire unit can be moved for easier patient transfers that require less strength and effort from carers.

Who Can Use This Universal Hoist?

The SLK Carry Classic Compact is designed for children and patients who measure up to 1.7m maximum in height, and have a 160kg maximum weight. It is ideal for clinical care environments, such as hospitals and care homes, as well as for residential care. The compact design and short chassis of the lift makes it ideal for use in narrower spaces.

How Do I Use the Passive Hoist?

To use the hoist, first you must check that the patient weight and height is appropriate for use with this particular model, then clear the area around the hoist before beginning to help them into it.

1. First, help the patient into the sling (sold separately) from the position that they are in. Ensure the sling is secure and properly lined up with the patient's body.
2. Securely attach the sling, while worn by the patient, to the hoist.
3. Double check that all attachments are secure before using the lift function.
4. The patient will need to be slowly lifted, using the handset, until they are hovering high enough above the surface that their feet will not drag along it once moving.
5. Once lifted high enough, you can begin to transport the patient.

Important Information: To ensure maximum safety, do not leave patients unattended in the hoist at any stage of the lifting and transfer process.

Does This Patient Lift Come With a Spreader Bar?

This Patient Lift comes with the SLK 2-Point Spreader Bar Compact H. The spreader bar is designed for comfortable transport, and comes complete with a spring lock to prevent unintentional release of the patient sling.
