Short Description
An electrically powered hoist designed for both domestic and healthcare facility use. The hoist can be installed in a fixed position or detached and used in a separate room or area. Two small wheels are located on the motor unit at the base of the mast to enable the hoist to be moved to different locations (without an occupant). In each location the hoist must be attached to the wall with two wall mounting brackets. Operates off mains power.
