Belt Assemblies:
The HFL-500-E and 550-E come standard with two safety-belt assemblies which are used to secure the
patient to the lift.
Overview:
The belt assemblies are stowed on the lift when not in use. Each belt assembly includes two straps; the
longer strap has a seatbelt style
buckle
with a snap hook at the end, the shorter strap has a seatbelt style
clasp
with a snap hook at the end. Each of the two straps form a single belt assembly. In use, they are
secured to the HFL’s belt anchor points using the snap hooks at the end of each belt assembly
.
Belt Anchor Points:
There are three sets of anchor points on the HFL for
the belt assemblies (six in total). Two sets (upper
and lower) are located on either side of the HFL’s
main column and are the most commonly used.
There are two additional anchor points on the
forward frame underneath the seat which provide
additional strapping options for unique situations,
(e.g., patient’s size, weight or condition).
Standard Belt Configurations:
In many cases, only one of the belt assemblies is required and it is typically secured to the lower anchor
points as a waist belt. This is the normal configuration for a standard patient lift, (where the patient is
able to sit upright by their own control), and the belt is used as a safety precaution while the patient is
being lifted.
Only one belt assembly is needed when lifting a patient secured to a backboard. Using the upper belt
anchor points, route the belt assembly over the patient and loop it through the center handle of the
backboard, (on the opposite side of the HFL), then buckle the seat belt and remove the slack.
