INTENDED USE OF THE PRODUCT
The KRATOS 320 compact mobile patient lifting hoist has been designed to lift and transfer a less able
person with the assistance of a carer.
The KRATOS 320 should be used with one of the ALLEGRO range of patient slings, as assessed by a
competent trained person.
NB. Not all slings and accessories are compatible with this hoist. If you are unsure please contact
