General Information
Before using the product, be sure to read the complete user guide.
This is how you can prevent errors due to a lack of information.
Sections with headings highlighted in bright blue primarily address
the operator (e.g., the medical supply store). Headings highlighted in
.dark blue address the user (e.g., the nurse). Medium blue means
it is intended for both addressees.
Contents colored orange are particularly important to safety.
The models of the SLK Multy product family are mobile Patient Hoists
for children, adults or heavy patients. These hoists are suitable for use in
home care, in nursing institutions or clinics. Combined with the cor-
responding SLK hoist slings, they can be used by a nurse to carefully
change the patient’s position while the patient is lying down or sitting
up, and it also suitable for use in wet areas.
In the development of our products, we place particular value on user
friendliness. This of course also applies to this user guide, which is
subject to continuous development and improvement. Therefore, you
should always consult the current version for your product, which you

Concept of the SLK Multy
The SLK Multy is a modular hybrid hoist, which can be designed as an
active hoist and as a universal hoist. This is done by attachment of a
corresponding lifting arm and optional use of a footboard with shin
support.
Our idea behind this is to provide a unique hoist to our customers that can
also still be used as a highly functional active hoist when the patient still
has a given mobility. If needed or when the patient’s mobility decreas-
es later on, the same hoist can be converted in just a few steps into a

SLK Multy Conversion Kit Aktiv and the SLK Multy Conversion Kit
Universal are available.
This saves you from buying a second hoist or a new hoist.
The SLK Multy has a telescopic mast to adjust its height optimally to
the respective function
the lower position of the mast is 340 mm.
If a footboard with shin support and an lifting arm Aktiv are
attached, the mast is locked in place at the bottom, and the hoist can

use of a low lifting arm pivot point.
If the lifting arm Universal and a spreader bar are attached, the
mast is locked in its upper position. The SLK Multy Universal hoist
then makes good use of a high lifting arm pivot point to function as a
patient hoist.
Besides this, there is a middle position for special applications. In this
position, the hoist can be used as both an active hoist for large people
as well as a universal hoist for particularly small patients and children.
We have received rights protection for the functional principle of the
SLK Multy under a German utility patent (GPTO No.: 20 2017 003 987).

The purpose of the SLK Multy Aktiv hoists is to provide support for the
patient when getting up, sitting down and being transferred while the
hoist is being operated by a nursing professional.
The purpose of the SLK Multy Universal hoists is providing support
to the nurse when changing positions, transferring and transporting
patients with restricted mobility inside of their residence.
The use requires an SLK hoist sling.
All SLK Multy hoists are reusable medical devices. They can be used
again for another patient after cleaning.

The recommended body height for the SLK Multy Aktiv hoist is

Indication SLK Multy Aktiv
The application of patient hoists lets forces work on the body of the
patient, which cannot be tolerated by them in all clinical states
(e.g., spinal damages, advanced osteoporosis, unhealed bone fractures).
Before every application of the SLK Multy, please evaluate the patient
and their clinical state closely. If you have any doubts, please ask the
treating physician. If the patient’s body weight exceeds the indicated
maximum load, the SLK Multy must not be used.
The SLK Multy Aktiv hoist is a transfer aid and not a therapeutic
device for training the patient to stand up or walk on their own.
The SLK Multy patient hoist is not suitable for use by the patient on
their own.
The SLK Multy Universal hoists are used when the patient is 
cantly or completely restricted and therefore unable to change their
body position.You make it easier for an assistant or nurse to change
the patient’s position and complete short transports within the resi-
dence. These hoists are used when active hoists or transfer aids no lon-
ger do the job.
