Working with the mobile hoist
To obtain a correct working posture when moving the hoist, the carer should
always, by placing one leg in front of the other, push the hoist in a forward
motion thus utilizing his/her body weight.
Turning the hoist should be carried out by two persons, otherwise, stand
alongside the hoist and push on the side of the mast thereby minimising the
centre of rotation. It is a good idea to make the heaviest point of the hoist the
centre of rotation. If there is limited space, you can use your foot to push on
the chassis of the hoist in the direction you wish to turn.
Fitting the lifting sling
Hook the top set of straps (from the
back) to the hooks facing the user.
Hook the lower set of straps (from
the legs) to the hooks facing away
from the user.
From a chair, wheelchair or other
sitting positions
Place lifting sling behind user’s back
e.g. between the back of the chair
and the user’s back.
The centre band of the lifting sling
should follow the user’s spine. As
for the slings type Active the strap
showing the size of the sling should
be opposite the spine. Bring the leg straps along the outer thigh and then
under the thigh between the back of the knee and the hip.
Now cross the leg straps in front of the user.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.
Lying position in bed, on a mattress or on the floor
Turn the user on his side. Place the high back sling so that its upper edge is
flush with the top of the user’s head. Put the sling on the user so that the cen-
tre band follows the spine. Turn the user on his back and pull the sling out.
Bring the leg straps under the thigh and cross them over.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.
If in doubt about how to use the sling, please contact your supplier.
Guldmann cannot be held responsible for any faults or accidents that may
occur due to incorrect positioning of the lifting hanger, or for reasons of inade-
quate attention paid by helpers or the user.
