102 Purposeanduseofmobilelifter
Purpose
The Guldmann mobile lifter is a carefully designed, all-round lifter which
covers the needs of hospitals, nursing homes, institutions and private homes.
It can be used indoor whenever elderly and handicapped people have to be
lifted or moved. The lifter is equipped with Guldmann’s lifting hanger or with
another suitable hanger. It should be used at an approximate maximum of
walking speed. Accessories consist of Guldmann’s lifting slings in various
sizes and models.
Requirements
When a lifter is used in an institution or in the home care service, the
assumption is that it will be operated by qualied staff.
Use slings with 4-6 lifting straps designed for tting on Guldmann’s lifting
hanger as shown in the manual.
Liftingtoandfromasittingposition
When lifting from e.g. a wheelchair, move the lifter towards the person to be
lifted. Lifting boom and lifting hanger should be level with the chest and posi-
tioned above the middle of the thigh.
Position lifting hanger parallel to the user’s shoulders. Now t the lifting sling
to the lifting hanger. For instructions on how to t the sling, see the section
entitled “Fitting the lifting sling”.
Liftingtoandfromalyingpositioninbed
Position lifting boom and lifting hanger right over the bed. Now pull the lifter
back until the lifting boom and lifting hanger are positioned above the centre
of the person to be lifted. The lifting hanger and lifting boom should be paral-
lel with the person’s shoulders. Now t the lifting sling to the lifting hanger.
For instructions on how to t the sling, see section entitled “Fitting the lifting
sling”.
Workingwiththemobilelifter
To obtain a correct working posture when moving the lifter, the carer should
always, by placing one leg in front of the other, push the lifter in a forward
motion thus utilizing his/her body weight.

Turning the lifter should be carried out by two persons, otherwise, stand
alongside the lter and push on the side of the mast thereby minimising the
centre of rotation. It is a good idea to make the heaviest point of the lifter the
centre of rotation. If there is limited space, you can use your foot to push on
the chassis of the lifter in the direction you wish to turn.
Fittingtheliftingsling
Hook the top set of straps (from the back) to the hooks facing the user. Hook
the lower set of straps (from the legs) to the hooks facing away from the user.
Important!
Be careful when applying the lifting sling. Check that the straps have been
pulled completely through the rubber safety catch and into place in the lifting
hanger’s hooks before starting lifting the user.
Fromachair,wheelchairorothersittingpositions
Place lifting sling behind user’s back e.g. between the back of the chair and
the user’s back.
The centre band of the lifting sling should follow the user’s spine. As for the
slings type Active the strap showing the size of the sling should be opposite
the spine. Bring the leg straps along the outer thigh and then under the thigh
between the back of the knee and the hip.
Now cross the leg straps in front of the user.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.
Lyingpositioninbed,onamattressorontheoor
Turn the user on his side. Place the high back sling so that its upper edge is
ush with the top of the user’s head. Put the sling on the user so that the cen-
tre band follows the spine. Turn the user on his back and pull the sling out.
Bring the leg straps under the thigh and cross them over.
All four straps are now ready to be mounted onto the lifting hanger.
If in doubt about how to use the sling, please contact your supplier.
Guldmann cannot be held responsible for any faults or accidents that may
occur due to incorrect positioning of the lifting hanger, or for reasons of inade-
quate attention paid by helpers or the user.
