6. Final safety check
Prior to hoisting a client check:
- All fixing bolts have been securely tightened
- The gantry is level in all directions and level on floor
- The height and width of the gantry are appropriate for the task e.g.
There is sufficient space to position a wheelchair or shower chair at the
side of the bed for transfer
The gantry is now ready for use. Slide the hoist across the gantry to
the desired position ready to lift/transfer the client.
Disassembly of the gantry
1. Do not lift the hoist. Lower the hoist by releasing sufficient tape to
disconnect the carabiner on the hoist from the eye on the gantry.
Remove the hoist from the gantry.
. 2 Reverse of assembly.
