We supply a comprehensive range of essential patient hoists for individuals with limited mobility throughout the North East, ensuring optimal safety and comfort for both the user and the carer.
Mobile hoists
A mobile hoist is a versatile piece of equipment used to safely and efficiently move a person from one area to another. Unlike fixed installations, these patient hoists are not permanently installed and feature a wheeled base, allowing them to be easily transported to different locations within a home or care facility. They are typically used in conjunction with a fabric sling to securely lift and transfer an individual, for example, from a bed to a wheelchair, a chair to a commode or into a bath.
Due to their flexibility and ease of use, mobile hoists represent a popular and adaptable solution for a wide range of everyday moving and handling tasks.
Standing aids
Standing aids, also known as standing hoists, are specifically designed to assist individuals who can bear some of their own weight but require additional help with balance and stability during transfers. This equipment provides a safe and supportive method to help a person rise from a seated position, such as from a chair, bed or toilet. A key benefit of standing aids is that they encourage active participation from the user, which helps to maintain their muscle tone and independence.
By providing crucial support, these hoists make it possible for a person to be transferred to another location with dignity and reduced risk of injury.
Ceiling hoists
A ceiling hoist is a permanent, fixed lifting solution that uses a durable aluminium rail system securely installed on the ceiling. This overhead system enables the smooth and controlled movement of an individual along a fixed track, eliminating the need for floor-based equipment. A key advantage of ceiling hoists is that they free up valuable floor space, making them an ideal solution for smaller rooms or for environments where frequent transfers are required.
Providing a stable and powerful lifting option, these hoists are a common and highly effective feature in hospitals, care facilities and private homes throughout the North East. They offer unparalleled convenience and safety for both users and carers.
