CONCRETE PAD REQUIREMENT
IMPORTANT: To safely install the Pelican Pool Hoist you
will need a solid concrete pad to anchor it to.
CONCRETE PAD INSTALLATION
We recommend that approximately 1/3 of cubic metres
of concrete is used when pouring your pad. This can be
made up as a logical size, for example: 1000 x 1000 x 300
or 650 x 650 x 650. The ideal location is placed up against
the pool edge.
ANCHORING YOUR UNIT TO THE CONCRETE PAD
We provide 100mm anchors as standard which have the
receiver for the eye bolts. This will secure the 450mm
Pelican Pool Hoist base.
It’s highly recommended to use a minimum of 20MPa
concrete strength.

• Hole Cleaning Pump
• Hole Cleaning Brush
• Cartidge gun - for adhesive
• Adhesive (included)
• Acetone
To safely install the Pelican Pool Hoist you will need a solid
concrete pad to anchor it to. We recommend that approximately
1/3 of cubic metres of concrete is used when pouring your pad.
This can be made up as a logical size, for example: 1000 x 1000 x
300 or 650 x 650 x 650. The ideal location is placed up against the
pool edge. It’s highly recommended to use a minimum of 20MPa
concrete strength.
Place hoist in position, ideally around 100 to 500mm from
edge of pool (can be further but check that lifting arm will reach
into pool far enough to lower person into water). Check for
obstructions when arm of hoist is rotated. Use the hoist base as a
template.
NB Anchors must be set into the concrete NOT into the tile
bed or pavers. If there are pavers surrounding the pool a
concrete pad must be laid – contact Active Mobility Systems for
instructions.
Drill 16mm diameter hole to a minimum of 100mm into
concrete substrate. (Example: 100mm below any tile bed).
Remove dust and debris by brushing and blowing 3 times each
(If hole is wet or ooded, remove water with wet/dry vacuum). Hole
may be damp but must not be ooded.
Prepare all holes and socket studs before continuing onto next
step.
Screw mixing nozzle onto Adhesive cartridge (supplied) and
dispense 2-3 trigger pulls of adhesive to waste until colour is grey
with no streaks.
Insert tip of nozzle to bottom of hole and dispense adhesive.
Fill hole to about 2/3 full.
Insert threaded stud socket, with M12 threaded socket on top,
with a rotating motion to release trapped air. Finish the top of the
M12 threaded socket ush with nished oor, making sure that
there is no adhesive in the threaded socket.
Wait until adhesive has fully cured before loading.
Clean up with acetone.

and has detachable tapes with colour coded pick up options for loop
xing hoists only. It features a foam neck roll for additional bouyancy
of the users head and also has a waist support with connecting groin

whilst in the water. The user should be accompanied at all times
when using this product and never left unsupervised.

POOL HOISTS OPTIONS
Kingsher Pool Hoist
The Kingsher Pool Hoist, designed and manufactured in Australia,
will allow access to a pool where traditional methods are not able to be
used. Designed in close consultation with Occupational Therapists and
other industry professionals, the Kingsher Pool Hoist is a simple and
safe operation that is both comfortable and dignied.
The Kingsher is ideal for home pools, retirement villages and hotels,
plus more. It is user-operated and secured to the pool deck easily.
Perfect for people with upper body control and those who can self
transfer. The Kingsher was recently the hoist of choice of the 2018
Commonwealth Games Athletes Village.
The Kingsher Pool Hoist has a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 150kg,
rechargeable Linak 24v battery, oating hand control, load bearing
lift-up arm rests for ease of transfer, removable and adjustable foot rest,
ip up seat for storage, wheel away transport trolley option for storage,
lap belt for safety, left or right side mounting, extra heavy duty Linak
Actuator with emergency lifting.
Reval Pool Lift
The Reval Poolside Hoist takes the strain out of hydro transfer and
enables all users, irrespective of their degree of mobility, to enter the
pool quickly, easily and safely. Installed in any pool environment with a
solid oor, the Reval Poolside Hoist may be adapted to incorporate a
chair or stretcher system, signicantly reducing manual handling risks
for caregivers and providing a safer environment for patients.
The Reval Pool Lift is a deluxe pool access system allowing
autonomous access to the pool thanks to the rotation system and the
electrical hi-lo, which is piloted by a pneumatic remote control.
The Reval Pool Lift is xed to the ground, meaning this pool hoist
allows the safe transfer of disabled people into chairs or laying down on
a stretcher.
