Patient Lifters & Hoists in Ghana
Available Patient Lifters & Hoists Models

Patient lifters and hoists, often referred to as patient transfer devices, are essential pieces of medical equipment designed to assist in the safe and ergonomic movement of individuals with limited mobility. These systems, prevalent in healthcare settings across Ghana, utilize a powered or manual mechanism to lift and transfer patients between surfaces such as beds, wheelchairs, chairs, or commodes. Their core function is to reduce the physical strain on caregivers and minimise the risk of injury to both the patient and the attendant during transfers.

The operation typically involves a lifting arm, a motorised or manual actuator, and a sling that securely supports the patient. Advanced models often incorporate features like variable speed controls, emergency stops, and adjustable sling attachments for enhanced safety and patient comfort.

In Ghana, the need for patient lifters and hoists spans a wide spectrum of healthcare facilities and specialized departments. These essential pieces of equipment are not confined to large tertiary institutions but are crucial for ensuring safe patient handling and dignified care across various settings. Their presence significantly reduces the risk of injury to both patients and caregivers, improving the overall quality of care and operational efficiency.

We understand that a smooth and efficient installation is crucial for the effective deployment of patient lifters and hoists. Our dedicated installation process in Ghana is designed to ensure minimal disruption and maximum readiness. From initial site assessment to final calibration, our expert technicians handle every step with precision and care.

Site Preparation: Laying The Foundation For Success

Before our team arrives, a brief site assessment is conducted to confirm suitability. This may involve checking ceiling height, wall strength (for wall-mounted units), and ensuring adequate maneuvering space around the intended installation area. We'll advise on any minor adjustments needed to guarantee a safe and optimal environment for the lifter or hoist.

Delivery & Unpacking: Careful Handling From Our Warehouse To Your Facility

Your patient lifter or hoist will be delivered directly to your facility by our trusted logistics partners. Our technicians will then carefully unpack all components, performing an initial visual inspection to ensure everything is present and undamaged. We adhere to strict handling protocols to protect your valuable equipment throughout the delivery and unpacking stages.

Step-by-step Installation: Expert Assembly And Integration

Our certified technicians follow a rigorous, manufacturer-approved installation procedure. This typically includes:

• Mounting the Track System: For ceiling or wall-mounted units, this involves securely affixing the track to the appropriate structural supports.
• Assembling the Hoist Unit: The main hoist mechanism will be attached to the track or mobile base.
• Connecting Power & Controls: Electrical connections and control systems are integrated safely and efficiently.
• Attaching Sling Attachments: We ensure the correct and secure attachment points for patient slings are in place.

Calibration & Testing: Ensuring Peak Performance And Safety

Once assembled, your patient lifter or hoist undergoes thorough calibration and testing. This critical phase includes:

• Weight Load Testing: The unit is tested with varying weights to ensure its lifting capacity is accurately calibrated and safe.
• Functional Checks: All movement functions (up, down, traverse) are meticulously checked for smooth operation and responsiveness.
• Safety Mechanism Verification: Emergency stop features, overload protection, and other safety systems are rigorously tested to confirm their immediate functionality.
• User Briefing: Our technicians will provide a brief overview of the unit's operation and basic safety features to your designated staff.
