1

2

Roll the client onto the sling, ensuring that the sling 

aperture is at the base of the spine.

NOTE:

 For added safety and support, Blueleaf Ltd 

recommend the use of a head support when lifting 

from the floor.

Carefully feed the leg sections under and up between 

the patient’s legs, ensuring that the sling is positioned 

comfortably  and  not  twisted  or  creased  under  the 

thighs. Configure the leg straps in the same manner 

as with the seated position (step 3). Next, proceed 

to attach the sling to the spreader bar in the same 

manner as with the seated position (step 4).

NOTE:

 Blueleaf Ltd recommend slings are checked regularly and before use for fraying or damage.

IMPORTANT: ENSURE THAT YOUR CLIENT’S 

HEAD IS SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES DURING 

THE TRANSFER.
