Locomotor Multi-lift Hoist

Locomotor Multi-lift Hoist: 2-in-1 Convertible Hoist and Active Stand Aid ($160\text{kg}$ SWL)

The Locomotor Multi-lift Hoist is an exceptionally versatile 2-in-1 patient handling system designed to manage the full spectrum of patient transfer needs, offering incredible value for money. This innovative hoist provides a single solution for both weight bearing and non-weight bearing patients. It can be quickly and easily converted between a Conventional (Passive) Hoist and an Active Stander (Stand Aid) without the need for tools, making it the ultimate multi-functional device for hospitals and care homes.

Passive Transfers: Conventional Hoist Mode

In its conventional mode, the Multi-lift operates as a powerful and secure passive hoist, ideal for non-weight bearing patients:

• Safe Non-Weight Bearing Lifts: Used with appropriate slings, it provides a safe, controlled solution for lifting and transferring patients who cannot bear weight.

• Enhanced Security: Features a unique spreader bar fixing designed to maximize safety for sling attachments, ensuring ultimate security during transfers.

• Patient Protection: Includes a fixed shin pad to protect the patient's legs and minimize uncontrolled swinging while being manoeuvred, ensuring a smoother journey.

Active Transfers: The Stander Mode

A simple release mechanism allows the conventional hoist head to be swapped for the Stander attachment (handling weight of attachment is only $5\text{kg}$—no tools required).

• Sit-to-Stand Transfers: In Stander mode, patients can be safely and actively raised to allow for quick transfers from one seated position to another.

• Efficient Care Tasks: This functionality is crucial for facilitating essential care tasks such as toileting, washing, and dressing quickly and safely, without the need for manual lifting.

• Promotes Rehabilitation: By engaging the patient in the standing process, the Stander mode helps promote muscle strength, maintain weight-bearing ability, and stimulate circulation.

Power, Safety, and High Capacity

Built for reliability and ease of use, the Locomotor Multi-lift incorporates high-specification features:

• High Lifting Capacity: Boasts a strong and reliable $160\text{kg}$ ($25\text{st}$) lifting capacity, accommodating a large percentage of the patient population.

• Powered Manoeuvrability: Features powered leg opening, which allows the caregiver to adjust the width of the chassis effortlessly via controls, greatly improving manoeuvrability and setup speed.

• Maintenance & Comfort: Includes a height adjustable shin pad for optimal user comfort and positioning, and an actuator life counter to assist facilities with planned preventative maintenance and regulatory compliance.
