Milford Person Lift www.pridemobility.com 9
SLINGS
The slings come in various sizes, all rated at 385lbs weight
capacity, which are color coded on the sling edges as
follows;
Extra Small - White
Small - Yellow
Medium - Green
Large - Red
Extra Large - Blue
(The example shown is a medium sling)
The lifting straps of the sling should be adjusted so that each
strap is as short as possible, giving the best lift and the most
maneuverability for the person.
The correctly adjusted sling should lift the person, in a seated position at lower chest height and not
above the shoulder height or at waist height. If there is a lot of slack in the straps when the sling is
connected to the ‘spreader bar’, they should be shortened. The slacker the straps are when connected, the
less the range of lift that can be achieved and the sling will also not offer as much support.
The sling supplied with the Milford is determined during your initial assessment. However, if it does not
suit, or you have not had an assessment, please consult your authorized Pride Provider.
When you wash your Milford Person Lift Sling, you must remove the buckles and the webbing anchors –
failure to do so may result in damage to your washing machine. Your sling can be washed at up to 167°F
(75°C).
