no boundries

Introduction

Sometimes people require help to move from one position to another; yet any manual lifting and handling can place a severe strain on the person assisting, whether friend, family or professional. This often results in back pain or other injuries. By choosing appropriate equipment and using it effectively the risk of sustaining injury is greatly reduced and often the quality of life for all concerned is noticeably improved. Ultimately the aim of using equipment is to reduce the risk of the injury to the lowest level possible. This presentation aims to provide first stop information on overhead hoists and details about their various features.

Introduction

From a single track to complete ward-covering tracking systems, Caretua can provide options for every ceiling, in every environment. Our dedicated engineers were able to combine design, innovative technology and reliability resulting in the most comfortable Ceiling Hoist System in the

• world. Using the Caretua SENSOR-MOTION technology, all components

like turntables, switches and couplings are extremely easy to operate. No buttons, cords or contacts, only sensors. This presentation provides the main technical specifications of our Hoists and tracking system. This is however not a substitute for the knowledge of

• ur technical team, please do not hesitate to consult our technical staff,

we are always happy to share our knowledge and assist where necessary.

100% ease of use

All components of the Caretua rail system are equipped with the unique Sensor-Motion technology. Because of this technology components like

• ur Turntable, Track Switch and Coupling are extremely easy to operate.

No wall switches or rail contacts but smart sensors detecting the hoist and activate a motion to change direction or connect segments of track. Effectively this means not only more comfort, also more attention for the patient instead of operating a track system.

Is an Overhead hoist the best option?

Before choosing an overhead hoist you need to consider all the pros and cons and consider other possible options. This is why it is important to have a manual handling assessment so that every moving and handling situation is reviewed and safe solutions are found. Sometimes it is not possible to find one hoist or piece of equipment to suit every situation. Remember that, as well as meeting your transfer needs, the equipment must be managed by your carer(s) and be compatible with your environment.

Is an Overhead hoist the best option?

An overhead hoist may: increase independence lighten the task for carer(s) free floor space ease the problem of storage But: it can only be used in areas covered by the track may be more expensive may involve structural alterations to your location

Factors to consider

THE TASKS Activities - is the hoist needed for one particular task, e.g. getting in and out

• f a bath, or is it needed for several, e.g. on and off the toilet, on and off a

chair? Remember to consider associated tasks, e.g. positioning slings, moving the hoist occupied and unoccupied along the track. Use - is the hoist for independent use? Only an overhead hoist can be used

• independently. Will it need to reach the floor and/or lift high? Is it for one

transfer in a set position or is flexibility required so that lifts can take place elsewhere within the room? Frequency - if the hoist is for short term use only it is probably worth considering using a hoist on a gantry or a floor standing frame.

Factors to consider

THE ENVIRONMENT

• Ceiling track hoists are permanent installations.
• Ceiling joists may have to be strengthened before a ceiling track is fitted and the

tops of doorways may have to be cut away to allow the track to stretch from one room to the next.

• If the ceiling is unsuitable it may be possible to install holding brackets on opposite

walls and the track fitted between upright supports.

• Unless an X-Y track is installed, the pick up and set down points are limited along

the length of the track.

• Is the hoist purely for use in one room, more than one room and/or will transfer

solutions be needed in other environments?

Factors to consider

THE HOIST USER

• Consider

the foreseeable future, or will it improve or deteriorate.

• An overhead hoist with a powered lift and traversing mechanism,

together with a suitable control and appropriate slings, may enable a person to transfer independently.

• People who do not want to have structural alterations to their

location may prefer to use a mobile or gantry hoist.

Factors to consider

THE CARER

• An overhead hoist provides far less risk of injury to a carer as it

removes the effort/strength required to manoeuvre a mobile hoist.

• Ceiling track hoists provide a relatively safe means of moving a

person over a longer distance.

• If the carer has moved the person in the same way for years, it may

take time to learn how to use new equipment and new techniques.

Features of an overhead hoist

Overhead hoists consist of a powered lifting mechanism to raise and lower the user (A CASSETTE), overhead tracking (TRACK) for easier transfers, a power supply (POWER) and a sling (SPREADER BAR). Different types include permanent ceiling attached hoists, portable battery-

• perated hoists, XY- or H-tracked hoists, gantry hoists, wall-fixed hoists and

free-standing hoists.

Room layout examples

Some examples just to explain the diversity of options to use our track system. With our track, combined with our components like Coupling, Turntable and Switch we can

• ffer the smoothest and most comfortable overhead hoist

transfer in the world. Room track layout examples

Straight Monorail

A single rail, running straight to the bed or at an angle. Limited in coverage, repositioning options and flexibility of furniture location. Room track layout examples

Straight track with Curve

A straight track with curve, enlarges the coverage and also provides a more suitable place to charge the batteries when not in use. Room track layout examples

Straight track with Curves and Switch

A combination of curves and track switch can be used in various combinations. Room track layout examples

XY System

An XY system is to provide an unlimited number of lifting places within a room, enabling a person to be lifted from practically anywhere within the four walls, can also be combined with a Coupling to be able to connect the traverse rail to a fixed rail. This will allow the Hoist to leave the XY system. This way, an XY system can also be connected to another XY system. Room track layout examples

Rail connected to Turntable

Leaving the room entering the hallway, a turntable allows for a change of direction. The turntable is available in a three or four way version. Room track layout examples

Rail profiles and curves

With the Caretua Rail Profiles, the smoothest and most comfortable hoist tracking systems can be created. The three main profiles, combined with the newest technologies, make the hoist glide smoothly from one place to the next. Rail profiles and curves

A Profile

The standard Rail Profile, the backbone of Caretua Hoist

• Tracking. This profile is also available in various curves

(page 1 6). The standard colour is RAL 901 0, optional all RAL colours are available. Standard lengths: 41 00 and 61 00 mm. Rail profiles and curves

B Profile

The B profile allows the Hoist Track to be embedded into the ceiling. This profile is also available in two standard curves, 45 and 90 degrees. Other curves are optional. The standard colour is RAL 901 0, optional all RAL colours are available. Standard lengths: 41 00 and 61 00 mm. Rail profiles and curves

C Profile

The C profile is a higher, stronger profile. This profile allows spans up to six meters. The standard colour is RAL 901 0,

• ptional all RAL colours are available. Standard lengths:

41 00 and 61 00 mm. Rail profiles and curves

Load and fixings detail

Rail profiles and curves Weight limit of hoist A profile C profile 1 50 kg 2,8 m between fixings 6 m between fixings 200 kg 2,0 m between fixings 4 m between fixings 260 kg 1 ,5 m between fixings 3 m between fixings 500 kg 1 ,0 m between fixings 2 m between fixings

XY Traverse rail requirements

Rail profiles and curves

• Maximum span up to 1

50 kg using 55 mm profile is 2,8 m.

• If distance between parallels is greater than or equal to 2,8 m, a 2500

mm U-profile* has to be used.

• If distance between parallels is greater than or equal to 3,5 m, a 3000

mm U-profile* has to be used.

• For loads above 1

50 kg a high profile traverse rail with a heavy duty traverse trolly is recommended as bending in the rail causes malfunction of transit coupling.

• If span between parallels is larger than 4 m an additional parallel rail is

adviced.

* For bigger spans a U-profile is available to put over the traverse rail. Two standard lengths: 2500 mm and 3000 mm.

A-profile curves

In many cases the curves are an essential element of hoist tracking. The curves allow a hoist to follow every desired path. Our curves have a small radius of just 480 mm and are available in various degrees as standard, with the option of custom-made curves should this be required. Rail profiles and curves

Traverse trolleys

An XY system is to provide an unlimited number of lifting places within a room, enabling a person to be lifted from practically anywhere within the four walls. This is achieved by installing two parallel tracks on each side

• f the room, either on the ceiling or on opposite walls.

A moving section of track then runs at 90° to the parallel rails, the traverse rail. The components that allow the Traverse rail to slide up and down the parallel tracks, are the Traverse Trolleys. Rail profiles and curves

Doorway Header

In almost every case it is possible to cross a doorway, using the A profile. Also a fireproof solution is available to block heat and smoke for 30 or 60 minutes, in case of fire.

CARETUA curtain system

Privacy curtains and overhead hoist track both get in the way of each

• ther, this is a particular problem for hospital wards where both lifting

assistance and privacy for patients is required. The Caretua curtain system resolves this issue, enabling XY systems and hoist units to work in harmony with the privacy curtains. Rail profiles and curves

Track fixings*

A reliable fixation of the tacking system is a high priority. Caretua provides a wide range of standard brackets and fixings, however we are always happy to design a custom solution when required.

* Weight tests are always required after installation, according the Hoisting specifications and regulations.

Maintenance & Servicing

It is important that equipment such as hoists are maintained regularly to keep it in good working order. Hoist users need to ensure daily checks are completed as recommended in the instructions for use. It is recommended in the Safety Health & Welfare at work (General Application) Regulations, 2007 Chapter 2 Part 2 that hoists should be checked six monthly by a competent person. The Lifting Operation and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1 998 (part of Health and Safety at Work Legislation) places a duty on the employer to ensure equipment used by the employee for lifting people is also checked six monthly by a competent person if the equipment is exposed to conditions liable to result in a dangerous situation.
