1.6 Intended Use
For internal use only.
The Mobile Hoist is a lifting aid used by trained personnel. The Mobile Hoist makes it possible to transfer/lift mobility impaired
clients with minimal strain or risk to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort to the client.
The Mobile Hoist is one of two components that makes this possible. The other component, the sling, is a specially designed
fabric accessory that attaches to the Hoist by means of a carry bar and straps, and holds the client during the lift/transfer.
Please refer to the user guides supplied with the sling and reference them while reviewing this manual.
The functions of raising and lowering the boom, and opening and closing of the legs on the Hoist, are accomplished by pressing
buttons on the hand control. The hand control is attached to the Mobile Hoist.
The device is used under instruction, and the operation of the aid is undertaken by a trained carer.
A risk assessment must be performed before using any other manufactured slings or Mobile Hoist, to ensure safe
use can be established.
