Slings
The Mackworth M180 is designed to be used in combination with a Sling to perform its intended use. The sections below include
the correct and safe manor of attaching/detaching the Slings as well as a list of approved slings for use.
Sling Attachment/Detachment
Sling loops should be attached as follows:
1.
Put the required sling loop onto your finger and thumb and then using the same finger or thumb, pull back the spring
locking mechanism on the correct hook on the correct side of the carry bar (Figure 1 and 2).
2.
Slide the sling loop from your finger and thumb over the edge of the hook (Figure 3).
3.
After positioning the loop below the locking mechanism (Figure 3) release the spring locking mechanism to secure the
sling loop (Figure 4).
To remove the sling, simply reverse the process
–
pull back on the spring locking mechanism, lift the loop out of the hook and
release the locking mechanism.
The same process of attaching and detaching the Sling is relevant for the QRS (Quick Release System) Carry Bar.
Compatible Slings
Below is a list of slings that are recommended and have been approved by Prism Medical UK for use in combination with the
product.
We recommend the use of the Mackworth Healthcare or Care-
Ability manufactured sling range (type ‘B’ applied part) to be
utilised with the Mackworth M18
0 Mobile Hoist. It is at the user’s discretion to use alternative supplied product. In utilising
another manufacturer’s sling, checks must first be made to ensure the sling is safe to use and meets the requirements of BS E
N
ISO 10535 before its use.
The slings with a safe working load of 180kg that can be used with the Mackworth M180 Mobile Hoist are shown in the table
below, for full details on the various Sling sizes and material options. See the User Manual for the specific Sling Model.
