Manual Handling & Transfer
Manual handling equipment helps carers move and transfer a person safely, from powered floor and standing hoists to slings, transfer boards and handling belts.
Safe transfers protect both the person and the carer. A powered floor hoist with a compatible sling supports clients who cannot weight-bear; a standing (sit-to-stand) lifter suits those with some weight-bearing ability; and transfer aids like boards, belts and movers help with short, supported transfers. The right equipment, sling type and size should always be selected through a manual handling assessment and used with appropriate training.

A hoist is powered equipment that lifts and transfers a person who cannot safely weight-bear, for example between a bed and a chair. It protects both the person and the carer during transfers.
A floor hoist lifts a person fully, with a sling, for those who cannot weight-bear. A standing, or sit-to-stand, lifter supports people who have some weight-bearing ability to stand and transfer. The right one depends on a manual handling assessment.
Sling type and size should be matched to the person, the hoist and the task, and selected through a manual handling assessment. Using the wrong sling is unsafe, so we help you get this right with your therapist.
