1.7 Spreader bar and lifting slings
The Solar is equipped with a spreader bar, which is designed for use with Winncare Nordic
lifting slings. Winncare Nordic´s lifting slings have 2-5 lifting straps and are designed for lifting
hooks larger than ø8 mm (
5
/
16
in).
If using non-authorized slings, Winncare Nordic will have no responsibility for faults or
accidents.
Winncare Nordic can assist in choosing the correct sling and offers training sessions in transfer
techniques and the correct use of slings.
Attach slings on the Winncare Nordic spreader bar.
Winncare Nordic accepts no responsibility if slings are attached incorrectly, it is always the onus
of the carer/helper to ensure that the sling is correct for the situation needs and is correctly
mounted.
Hygienically, the hook can be opened / closed
without the use of hands just place the sling
strap loop around the hook and pull the strap
towards yourself (Fig. 1.7A).
The sling strap is placed over the hook in its
open position (Fig. 1.7B).
The strap is pulled downwards so that the
hook locks (Fig. 1.7C).
The design of the lifting hook is that the
weight of the patient/user helps to close the
hook.
To release the strap after lifting simply pull
upwards to open the hook.
Note: Risk of finger entrapment - ensure that user’s fingers cannot get trapped .
