Hoists

Hoists play a crucial role in safely and efficiently transferring people within medical, care or domestic environments.

They are designed to assist carers in lifting and transferring individuals with limited mobility. They help to ensure safety while, at these same time, enhancing comfort and dignity. Healthcare hoists, which are also known as patient lifts, have become an integral part of modern care, assisting in the challenges associated with moving individuals with disabilities, injuries, or those who are unable to bear weight independently.
 

They are used in conjunction with specialised fabric SLINGS that provide support during transfers, reducing the risk of injury for both the person being moved and healthcare providers. Hoists promote efficiency in patient care, reducing the number of staff required for transfers; they also help to meet regulatory standards and Safer People Handling guidelines.

Key features of healthcare hoists include user-friendly controls, adjustable settings, and advanced safety mechanisms to enhance the overall transfer experience. In the past, hoists were hydraulic (manual) but nowadays most are electric.
 
Healthcare hoists come in various forms, including floor-based portable hoists, standing hoists, overhead gantry hoists and ceiling-track hoists, specialist hoists such as bathing lifts.
