Bariatric Hoist - Reliant 600


Selecting the correct hoist for use with bariatric patients and seriously overweight clients can be pretty limited, especially when you realise that the majority of patient lifters only over a SWL (safe working load) of 150-170kg.


The Reliant 600 is primarily designed to lift much larger patients and offers a larger lifting range which not only allows patient transfer of larger patients but also allows a higher lift which a number of care staff have needed when dealing with taller clients.

With the demand for bariatric equipment on the rise, the reliant 600 has remained at the head of the pack by not only delivering what it promises but staying under the £2000 price bracket, which unfortunately a lot of comparable hoists have not managed to do.



Features:


Base legs adjust easily and lock securely into open position with the padded shifter handle.


Extra-wide coated swivel bar with 360 degree rotation and six-point hook-up.


High lift range allows transfer to high surfaces. Designed to meet the needs of the growing bariatric population up to 600 lb. Unique sling fabric designed to provide the utmost in comfort and strength. Warranty includes three years on lift, one year on electric components.


Manual lowering for instant response to power loss. Safety-tested with CE mark for highest quality standards. Essential device for safe patient handling in hospitals and LTC (long-term care) facilities


Total pinch-point protection covers all moving parts for added safety.
