The use of brakes with a Mobile Hoist The use of brakes with a Mobile Hoist is often a topic visited during training sessions. Should brakes be applied when hoisting? When should brakes be used with a Mobile Hoist? These are the sorts of questions being mentioned specifically. In general brakes on a Mobile Hoist should not be applied during hoisting unless stated by the manufacturer or it is stated in the handling plan. The reason for this is because the hoist will want to move to find the centre of gravity. If this process is prevented by... Meet Matt Hampson – Green Trousers Ambassador Green Trousers are thrilled to announce Matt Hampson as our Ambassador.

Case Study of Multi-Tip Shower Chair with Mrs B We were approached by a local authority customer to assist with a client “Mrs B” and to explore the possible use of the Muli-Tip Shower Chair in a sit to stand transfer. Mrs B was able to stand with the use of her rise and recline but needed a package of care and was hoisted because she could not stand from her standard attendant propelled shower chair. We had previously demonstrated to a group of OT’s in the area and shown the ability to stand clients with the Multi-Tip’s electric... The M2 Motorised Shower Chair – Showering Independence The M2 Motorised Shower Chair potentially offers independence for those who can no longer self propel. The chair features joystick controlled motors that can facilitate independent movement to the shower or the controls can be mounted at the rear for the carer to operate.
This can be beneficial where the carer struggles to push the chair. Often floor coverings can hinder the movement of shower chairs particularly with heavier patients, carpets and small thresholds make it feel like you are pushing the chair through sand or over a mountain. The M2 Multi-Tip – More than just a shower chair We pride ourselves on being able to bring you one of the most varied selections of shower chairs on the market, each able to contribute towards an enhanced bathing experience for both patient and carer. Today we focus on our flagship model – The M2 Multi-Tip. The Multi-Tip is one of the most advanced shower chairs on the market boasting electric height adjustment and electric tilt both forward and backward. The height adjustments ranges from 50cm to 95cm seat height and the tilt ranges from forward tilt -5 degrees to... Mobile Hoist safety checks prior to each use Mobile hoists are relied upon for many patients and carers in domestic and acute care settings as a means of patient transfer from one surface to another.
There should be a number of safety checks in place that ensure that the Mobile Hoists remain safe for both the patient and their carers. What checks should be in place? Firstly it is advised that your hoist has routine maintenance in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Think of this as a service for your car. There are items on the hoist which require periodic replacement... Hoisting from the floor with a Mobile Hoist There are a number of Mobile Hoists on the market which claim to hoist from the floor but in truth many of these simply do not lower far enough to truly hoist someone from the floor without sitting the patient up first or at least propping their shoulders up. Doing either of those things can be tricky and can add extra complications to the transfer. Fortunately there are Mobile Hoists on the market which lower far enough to hoist a patient from the floor in a supine position. Pictured on the right...
