What is a mobile hoist?
A mobile hoist is a portable lifting device used to assist in transferring patients or individuals with limited mobility. These hoists are typically on wheels, allowing for easy movement and positioning.
How does a mobile hoist differ from a fixed hoist?
Unlike fixed hoists, which are installed in a specific location (such as ceiling or wall-mounted hoists), mobile hoists can be moved around different areas. This makes them versatile and suitable for various environments, including homes, hospitals, and care facilities.
What is the weight capacity of a typical mobile hoist?
The weight capacity of mobile hoists varies by model. For instance, the Smart 150 Mobile Hoist has a safe working load of up to 150 kg (330 lbs). Always check the specific model’s specifications to ensure it meets your needs.
How do you operate a mobile hoist?
Mobile hoists are generally operated using a hand control or remote, which manages the lifting and lowering functions. Some models also have manual emergency lowering mechanisms for added safety.
Are mobile hoists safe to use?
Yes, mobile hoists are designed with safety features to protect both the patient and the carer. These features can include emergency lowering mechanisms, secure sling attachments, and safety brakes on the wheels.
