Lifting sling
A lifting sling with four to six lifting straps
designed for mounting on hooks with a
minimum diameter of 8 mm (approx. 1/2
inch), should be used when using a Guld-
mann lifting hanger.
Slings made by other manufacturers
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults
or accidents that occur as a result of
using a lifting sling made by other
manufacturers.
If you are in doubt about the
choice or use of lifting sling,
please contact your supplier.
Guldmann shall not be liable for faults or accidents due to incorrect use of the
lifting sling, or for reasons of inadequate attention on the part of the carer or
user.
Working with GH2 F hoist
It is only necessary to pay attention to the user’s functional level and the
carer’s technique, as the GH2 F makes no particular demands on space or
power consumption and runs smoothly in the rail system.
The user should only be lifted just clear of the underlying surface and should
be moved at this height.
Attaching the lifting sling
Attach the hooks that face the user to the upper set of straps (from the back).
Attach the lowermost set of straps (from the legs) to the hooks that face away
from the user.
Lifting to and from sitting position
When lifting a user from e.g. a wheelchair, move GH2 F towards the person
to be lifted.
The lifting hanger should be at the height of the user’s chest and should not
be moved further in over the user than to mid-thigh position.
Place the lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders.
Place the lifting sling behind the user’s back between the back rest of the
chair, for example, and the user. The centre band of the lifting string should
follow the user’s spine. As for the sling types Active, the strap showing the
size of the sling should be opposite the spine. Lead the leg straps along the
outer side of the user’s shins and beneath the thighs between the hollow of
the knees and the hip joints. Cross the leg straps over each other in front of
the user.
All four lifting straps are now ready to be attached to the lifting hanger.
Now attach the lifting sling to the lifting hanger.
