300kg Patient Hoist With Weigh Scales

Brand-new to our range of moving and handling equipment is the 300kg Lifty 6 Patient Hoist With Weigh Scales! As the name suggests, this patient hoist has a fantastic weight capacity of 300kg – 47.2 stone – making it suitable for larger or heavier users.  Along with this, it also comes with weighing scales.  This innovative addition to the patient hoist provides both patient and attendant with accurate weights to the nearest 100g.  This makes it perfect for healthcare professionals who need to know their patients’ weight.  It also provides a dignified way of providing a transfer for a patient.  Whether this is from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to commode or from room to room, the Lifty 6 Patient Hoist will provide a suitable lifting solution for you and your patient. 

Bariatric slings can also be provided for larger patients if needed.  This provides a safe and secure way to weigh and move your patients.

If you’re a hospital worker, or work in an occupational therapy environment, a hoist such as the Lifty 6 could be an ideal addition to your healthcare equipment.  Not only can it lift up to 300kg in weight, you can also weigh your patients as and when you need to.  This makes it a fantastic choice for use in environments where patients may have limited movement.

Available to hire on a short-term or long-term basis, the 300kg Lifty 6 Patient Hoist With Weigh Scales can be easily wheeled from room to room thanks to four castor wheels, increasing its portability and making it suitable for use in a range of environments, from rehabilitation facilities to care homes.

Rota-Pro-Chair-Bed-Seating

Rotating Chair Bed!  Getting In and Out of Bed is Easier Than Ever!

Getting Out of Bed in The Mornings…

It’s an age old problem. We all find getting out of bed in the mornings a little difficult.  However, for some, it’s a real strain and sometimes impossible.  Thankfully, the days of struggling to get out of or in to bed are gone!  New to our hire range of beds is the Rota-Pro Rotating Chair Bed.

This electrically operated profiling bed gently tilts you from a lying position into a sitting position.  Sitting to standing transfers can be complicated, however, the Rotating Chair Bed makes these considerably easier for the user.  It also rotates so you don’t have to worry about swinging your legs over the edges of the bed, allowing you to transfer from either side of the bed.  Perfect for those who can bear weight but may struggle to sit, it can be hired from us for a few weeks or a longer period if you need.

Ideal for people with short or longer-term mobility needs, this is a vital piece of mobility equipment that can assist you every day.Rota-Pro-Chair-Bed-Seating

 

Is It A Chair? Is It A Bed? It’s Both!

The bed’s height can also be adjusted, allowing for an attendant to nurse if necessary. This fantastic mobility aid also has electrically operated profiling functions.  This means the backrest, leg rest and knee-break features can all be adjusted to ensure maximum comfort. The headrest can also be adjusted, so you can be assured you’ll always be at the right angle.  Hand rails on both sides of the mattress provide extra support when you need it most.  This chair bed is a daily living aid which allows for a new user experience – a simple, dignified transfer without the need to use hoists or have assistance from an attendant.

Rota-Pro Rotating Chair Bed with Stand Assist provides a mattress as-standard, so you won’t have to worry about finding one that fits.  It also has a waterproof, 4-way stretch vapour permeable cover.

Giving Back Your Independence…

This simple, comfortable and useful chair bed offers a great alternative to hoists and really takes the complications away from getting into and out of bed.  It’s a hug step forward in assisted living technology.  The Rota-Pro rotating chair bed can also be used as a chair, making it fantastic for those who like to sit in bed and read before turning the lights out. It’s a daily living aid that can assist with a range of issues concerned with getting in and out of bed.  Most importantly of all, it gives you back your independence.  You may be able to walk but struggle to go from a standing to a sitting position and vice-versa.  The rotating chair-bed makes these transfers easier than ever before.

This stress-free chair bed is available for hire from our showroom, and we’re amazed with its functionality – we’re sure it will help people across the UK who may have previously found getting in and out of bed a hassle.  With a 22 stone capacity it’s suitable for larger or heavier users too.Rota pro chair bed with patient hoist above it
