Lifting Device - Hoist

Includes full body hoists or standing hoists.

Functional assessment should be undertaken to determine:

  • Alternative simpler methods or equipment that enables safe transfers.

A home trial of the hoist is to be completed where practical.

Education and training on the safe hoist and sling operation is essential and should be undertaken in the presence of the Health Provider.

Product assessment includes recommendation of the most appropriate type of hoist, standing vs full body, in relation to assessed functional need, individual weight and measurements.
