2.00 Intended use
GL5.1 is a lifting module that covers the need for lifting and moving a person
with disabilities.
GL5.1 is intended for professional use in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilita-
tion centers and in private homes and buildings, where operators with medi-
cal/clinical training are continually available on site or on call.
The Guldmann mobile lifter GL5.1 is an all-round lifter which covers the nee-
ds 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 lifting hanger or with
another suitable hanger. Accessories consist of Guldmann lifting slings in
various sizes and models.
When the mobile lifter is used the assumption is that:
• The lifter will be operated by a qualied person.
• The mobile lifter is moved at a maximum speed corresponding to normal
walking speed.
• The Guldmann mobile lifter is used with Guldmann lifting slings.
Guldmann cannot be held responsible for any faults or accidents that may
occur due to incorrect positioning of the lifting sling, nor for inadequate atten-
tion paid by the helper. We strongly recommend assessment of the user
before every lift.
2.01 Where to use GL5.1
GL5.1 is designed to be used indoors whenever the user needs to be lifted or
moved on a level surface.
• The lifter is designed so its legs can t under beds, around chairs / wheel-
chairs
• The lifter can be used in wet areas. However, it must not be exposed to
splash water.
• The lifter is designed to be used with multiple users. When moving the lifter to
another user / ward / room, perform normal hygienic disinfection.
