1.7 Lifting slings
Pallas 175 is equipped with a lifting arm (pat. pending) designed for use with Winncare
Nordic lifting slings. Winncare Nordics lifting slings have 2-4 lifting straps for use with the
stand-aid and are designed for lifting hooks larger than ø8mm. If using non-authorized
slings Winncare Nordic will have no responsibility for faults and accidents.
Winncare Nordic can assist in choosing slings and offer training sessions in transfer
techniques and the correct use of slings.
Hanging slings on the Winncare Nordic spreader bar
Winncare Nordic accepts no responsibility if slings are placed 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.
(1)
The sling strap is placed over the hook in its open
position. (Fig. 1.7A)
(2)
The strap is pulled downwards so that the hook
closes. (Fig. 1.7B)
The design of the lifting hook is such that the weight of
the client/user will help close the hook.
To release the strap after lifting simply pull upwards to
open the hook.
Note:
Risk of finger entrapment - ensure that client’s fingers cannot get trapped.
