If a patient or resident falls, Maxi Twin enables a nurse or carer working
alone to safely and confidently carry out a controlled lift from the floor.
The open design of the Maxi Twin makes floor lifts easier. It eliminates
uncomfortable situations that may occur when making floor lifts with a
single-mast lifter, where resident’s legs are over the chassis with one leg
on each side of mast.
After the sling has been attached, the Maxi Twin can be easily
manoeuvred into an optimum position close behind the resident, so that,
uniquely, the chassis can support the resident’s head.
The lift from the floor is smooth and controlled. With the extensive
reach there is no danger of the sling knocking into the twin masts, and
the motor unit is designed to allow good clearance during lifting.
Compact motor unit
All mechanical features – actuator, emergency stop and manual
emergency lowering device – are integrated in one compact motor unit
that also houses the rechargeable battery. The unit has a distinctive
smooth exterior and provides easy access to all features during operation
or servicing.
The battery – the most environmentally-friendly available – is a well-
proven ARJO solution. It is powerful but lightweight, half the weight of
an equivalent lead battery. This makes it easier for staff to handle and
minimizes the risk of strain injuries.
A buzzing sound indicates when the battery needs to charged. The
battery can be charged at any time, irrespective of power level, making
it possible to establish efficient charging routines. The wall-mounted
charger can be placed at a convenient height for staff.
There is a 2x battery option, which ensures constant machine
readiness – while the Maxi Twin is being used, the other battery is
charging.
Handset and fixed control
If required, the handset can be placed in the special holder on the
lifter and used as a fixed control. When in the holder, the handset is
conveniently located within easy reach, is accessible from both sides of
the lifter and stays horizontal throughout the lifting range.
