USE INSTRUCTIONS AND CERTIFICATES

Never use the hoist prior to the reading of this manual and without the
appropriate advice of a professional who explains the using technique
in detail. 

Our personal lifting hoists Practika, Mini and Stand up have been 
developed to grant the highest stability and comfortability. To do so, we
have designed a double compass system which works on both, front 
and rear wheels, opening them all at the same time. This system grants
extra stability when lifting the user.

In addition, our hoists’ arm and legs are all foldable, allowing you to 
store the hoist saving space.

All these improvements have been patented 
by FORTA, therefore, only our hoists can 
offer these huge advantages.

FORTA’s hoists comply with the European 
Directive 93/42/CEE concerning medical 
devices as well as the CE mark. These 
hoists have been tested and homologated 
by the Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia 
(IBV) and comply with the ISO 10535 
requirements “Hoists for the transfer of 
disabled persons – Requirements and test 
methods”.

Each and every one of our hoists is strictly 
checked in our factory to verify their 
operation.
