The GH1 patient hoist – Compact, powerful, reliable and discreet

The GH1 patient hoist has been designed to deal with day-to-day lifting needs typically encountered in private homes, schools, sheltered accommodation and nursing homes. It takes up little space, is easy to operate and helps make lifting and moving processes safe, simple and comfortable for user and care staff alike. All GH1 lifting modules are user-friendly, powerful and fast; they are designed for permanent/semi-permanent installation in ceiling- or wall-mounted rails. The unit is operated via a simple hand control unit, quickly and easily lifting users weighing up to 255 kg .

The soft exterior conceals a hard heart. Lithium Ion batteries combined with a twin speed motor create a hard working, reliable hoist that will lift over and over again without letting you down.

Without weight the GH1 lifts twice as fast, enabling carers to move the hoist from the working area quickly giving more time to focus on patient care.

Some of the other great features include:

1. Design

The GH1 ceiling hoist has a choice of side panels, enabling the hoist to be personalised for the user. Inserts can also be added to blend the track into the ceiling or create an image of the users choice.

2. Hoist Charging

The lifting module is charged by placing the hand control in the GH1 docking station. A fully charged lifting module can perform more than 55 lifts of 85 kg.

3. Simple Removal

The GH1Q model can be removed from the track without the need of tools.

Guldmann Class III integrated Digital Scales for ceiling hoists – making weighing simple

We are pleased to announce that we can now offer Class 3 approved medical patient hoist scales built into the GH3+ ceiling hoist.

Traditionally scales have been fitted as a additional unit between the spreader bar and lifting tape, which has resulted in a loss of lifting height. Old fashioned scales can also get lost or be mislaid, and furthermore is difficult to clean leading to cross infection concerns in hospitals.

All of these concerns are alleviated with the new integrated patient hoist scales. The entire mechanism is contained with the body of the hoist, meaning there is no loss of lift height. An easy to read digital handset provides the reading making it easy for staff to read ad record. As there is no extra unit, everything is built into the hoist, there are no parts to get lost, also removing the need for additional cleaning at the same time.

The new scales make work processes simple by making it easy to weigh the patient/user in conjunction with everyday care procedures. The scale complies with the requirements for medical weight Class III precision, in accordance with EU Directive 2014/31/EU.

High Weight Capacity

As the scale is built into the hoist, this also give the advantage of increasing the weight capacity of the scales. the new scales are available with the following lift capacities.

• 200kg
• 250kg
• 275kg
• 300kg
• 350kg
• 375kg
• 400kg
• 500kg

Weigh with confidence

Completely self adjusting, these digital scales combine the latest microprocessor technology available for measuring instruments and provides accurate repeated weight data with a calibrated accuracy of 0.1%. This means that you can lift and weigh in complete confidence, assured of the accuracy of the scales

Patient Hoist Scales that are easy to use

Automatic resetting of the scales with the help of a push button makes weighing patients fast and easy. Multicare offer a full training programme to ensure that your staff are fully confident in using the equipment.

Use of mobile hoists

The use of a mobile hoist has become an integral part of delivering health and social care services, greatly reducing musculoskeletal injury risks to carers and making them popular in many different care environments. With concerns of safety in mind hoists have been implemented into many moving and handling applications.

Selection of equipment

The right selection for hoisting equipment can reduce the number of carers required for a task and more importantly reduce physical loading on the carer/s however the selection of the wrong equipment drastically increases the risks of injury both to the patient and to the carer.

Hidden Costs of Injury

Last year, the rate of musculoskeletal injury in the healthcare industry was a shocking 1600 per 100,000 workers! Any case of injury or damage imposes ‘human’ costs (in terms of the impact on the individual’s quality of life, associated distress, and, for fatal injuries, loss of life), as well as the ‘financial’ costs.
