1.7 Mounting of lifting slings
The stand-aid lifter is equipped with lifting arms where there in the end is a hook, which is
designed for use with Ergolet lifting slings. Ergolets lifting slings have 4-6 lifting straps and are
designed for lifting hooks larger than ø8mm.
If using non-authorized slings Ergolet will have no responsibility for faults and accidents.
Ergolet can assist in choosing slings and their correct use.
Fitting slings on the Ergolet lifting hook
Ergolet accepts no responsibility if slings are placed incorrectly, it is always the onus of the
carer/helper to ensure that the sling is correct for the situation needs and is correctly fitted.
(1) The sling strap is placed over the hook in its open position.
(Fig. 1.7A)
(2) The strap is pulled downwards so that the hook closes.
(Fig. 1.7B)
The design of the lifting hook is such that the weight of the
patient/user will help close the hook.
To release the strap after lifting simply pull upwards to open
the hook.
Note: Risk of finger entrapment - ensure that patients’ fingers cannot get trapped.
