To Lift from a Bed
(10 Steps)
Before lifting a resident from a bed, make sure there is enough
space underneath the bed to accommodate the
Maxi Twin lift
chassis legs.
1 Position the resident onto the sling. Roll the resident
towards you then fold the sling in half and place it behind
the resident’s back.
(See Fig. 1)
2 Alt. 1
Position the sling carefully so that the resident gets rolled
back centrally on the sling. The head support area of the
sling should cover behind the resident’s neck.
(See Fig. 2)
Alt. 2 the resident can be brought into a sitting posture.
Position the sling as detailed in the previous section To Lift
from a Chair on page 24 .
Approach the bed with the open side of the spreader bar
towards the resident’s chest. Using the adjustable width
chassis legs, it is possible to manoeuvre around obstructions
such as bed legs.
(See Fig. 3)
4 Position the Maxi Twin lift so that the spreader bar is just
above and centrally situated over the resident.
Tilt the spreader bar by using the positioning handle, until
the shoulder attachment lugs can be connected to the sling
shoulder strap clips.
(See Fig. 4)
5 The leg pieces must be brought under the thighs to connect,
this may involve lifting one leg at a time. You may need to
lower the spreader bar a little more, using the hand control.
Press down on the positioning handle until the sling leg
pieces reach the connections.
Continue with the steps on the next page.
NOTE
To bring out the folded sling under the resident, roll
the resident from the opposite direction and pull the
folded sling out
