<br />
One of the many benefits of the new <a href="http://www.dolphinlifts.co.uk/handimove_2800_ceiling_hoist.html">2800 series</a> is the ability to be able to make the hoists suitable for use in wet areas with the addition of a membrane panel and PU treatment on the printed circuit boards.<br />

<br />
Without knowing the structure of the building involved, or the particular needs and capabilities of the individual concerned, it is difficult to provide exact costs. As you will see from the photos, there are several options.<br />
<br />
Overhead hoist systems are often used and can be fixed to steel beams if there is a covered area and suitable structure.
It is usual for a ramp and platform to be constructed on one side. This makes the job of assistants much safer and easier. The prices for overhead track system suitable with the Body Support will range from £2500 - £3000. But additional costs may be incurred if scaffolding is required to mount the hoist.<br />
<br />
For users with reasonable upper body strength and mobility, the Handimove Body Support is the most suitable system, it allows 360 degree rotation. It can be used with Handimove ceiling hoists, portable hoists or wall mounted hoists. The approximate cost is £970 for the Body Support and leg supports.<br />
<br />
It is essential that prior to purchase, the user is assessed and tries the system out, as many people are unable to use it, due to the nature of their disability.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UC-gGAa8ARg/UUM1vKK7uJI/AAAAAAAABEg/uQOCZ5911fs/s1600/hoist_for_disabled_horse_riding.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UC-gGAa8ARg/UUM1vKK7uJI/AAAAAAAABEg/uQOCZ5911fs/s400/hoist_for_disabled_horse_riding.jpg" width="400" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rjzOhgcuwcs/UUM1xLb7WbI/AAAAAAAABE0/4yOiwGm6Z8U/s1600/single_fix_ceiling_track_hoist.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rjzOhgcuwcs/UUM1xLb7WbI/AAAAAAAABE0/4yOiwGm6Z8U/s400/single_fix_ceiling_track_hoist.jpg" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADL0WBQdvs34KckTovRk5ZQuyH4AhJMuFac9ByzCotohAXotgwlSbGCgiWsMbhyphenhyphenO82qtU0F4-W0NpJXByo748KF-M6ey8i2AMIc9i0wQRNVCYlIQLSFF0hn3HRDAKhwjIRjgEwA/s1600/single_fix_ceiling_hoist_tracking.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjADL0WBQdvs34KckTovRk5ZQuyH4AhJMuFac9ByzCotohAXotgwlSbGCgiWsMbhyphenhyphenO82qtU0F4-W0NpJXByo748KF-M6ey8i2AMIc9i0wQRNVCYlIQLSFF0hn3HRDAKhwjIRjgEwA/s400/single_fix_ceiling_hoist_tracking.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
For those unable to use this system a standard Spreader Bar and Sling may be used. It is normal for a Toileting sling to be used. ie back and legs supported but not backside.
Typical cost for a Spreader Bar and Sling would be around £300.<br />
<br />
For outdoor areas where there is no mounting place for a hoist, by constructing concrete pads, a gantry system can be used. This can be permanently fixed or removable posts can be sunk into the ground. Use of a portable lifting system such as the Handimove Portable model, means that the hoist can just be clipped on when needed and stored in the dry when not in use. The Handimove Portable can be used with the body support system or a sling.<br />
<br />
Handimove Portable Hoist costs £1395, Typical gantry cost excluding building work £1200, Body Support System £970.<br />
<br />
The Portable system has the benefit that it can also be used in the disabled bathroom in conjunction with a ceiling track. The hoist is light weight and easily transferred.<br />
<br />
If you are able to provide photographs and or plans of the premises and the needs of the client, I will be able to provide much more detailed costs and suggestions. I would recommend that an Occupational Therapist and or Manual Handling specialist is consulted, to ensure that any equipment purchased is suitable. As is always the case, a full risk assessment should be carried out before use by any individual.<br />
<br />
Please note that all prices mentioned are a guide price and subject to final site survey. Building and construction works are not included. Prices also exclude VAT.<br />
<br />
We are also currently developing a hoist which can be mounted to a horsebox or to a wall in a stable. If you are interested in this type of hoist please contact Dolphin on 0800 9800 126 or by sending an email to info@dolphinlifts.co.uk.Christian Dunnagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06871860941698234743noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25454547.post-83603808387528829302015-10-08T11:20:00.000+01:002015-10-08T11:20:44.834+01:00Portable Travel Hoist Converts to Standing HoistOur popular <a href="http://www.dolphinlifts.co.uk/portable_travel_hoist.html">Portable Travel Hoist</a> can now be converted to a Standing Hoist with the optional knee pad and footplate retro-fit kit.<br />

It is an excellent way for disabled people or those with limited mobility to feel more integrated into the community and meet like-minded people whilst having some form of exercise to keep fit.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yh-GtLr0r1I/UrRXpRObXdI/AAAAAAAABZs/SuUCSbZ8lCs/s1600/essex%2B002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yh-GtLr0r1I/UrRXpRObXdI/AAAAAAAABZs/SuUCSbZ8lCs/s400/essex%2B002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Swimming can also provide aquatic therapy for those who need rehabilitation or physiotherapy for their mobility. Runnymede Swimming Pool (part of Castle Point Leisure) in Essex, has seen the benefits a swimming pool hoist can bring, after recently having it installed.<br />
<br />
According to Duty Manager Lee Payne, the hoist (funded by Short Breaks) from mobility experts Dolphin Mobility, has helped make swimming available to those who would not otherwise have the opportunity: “The pool hoist has been vital to a group of our members who are now able to take part and integrate themselves into the community more, rather than becoming socially isolated, by taking part in swimming-related activities.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The centre hosts a number of members with moderate to severe disabilities who come in to use the facilities with their carer, and the pool hoist has been invaluable. “We have people coming in to use the hoist from different areas and we have found it to be incredibly reliable and very easy to operate, making our lives a lot easier. We would highly recommend having a pool hoist to other centres as it gives disabled people the opportunity to be more involved, get some form of exercise, and helps centres to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act by making them equally accessible to disabled and able bodied people. We are grateful to Short Breaks for their help with funding the hoist.”<br />

Pool lifts are a great solution for making swimming pools disabled-friendly and encouraging more disabled and older people to turn to swimming as an extracurricular activity, enabling them to keep fit and have fun. They can be used in hotels, leisure centres, holiday resorts, schools, colleges and universities – anywhere there is a swimming pool.
Christian Dunnage, a Director at Dolphin Mobility, said: “We are delighted with Lee’s positive feedback.

However, in conjunction with Occupational Therapists, Dolphin Mobility is leading the way in taking this technology to a much wider audience.<br />
<br />
Trampolining and rebound therapy has long been recognised as playing a vital role in the ongoing treatment and rehabilitation of people with varying levels of disability, but this can often cause a manual handling issue. Basingstoke Gymnastics Club is a great example of a location that has benefitted from working with Dolphin Mobility on a hoisting solution for its disabled members as Alexandria Campbell, Head of Disabilities at the Club, explains: “We have around 70 adults on the register at Basingstoke Gymnastics Club with varying levels of disabilities, from mild to profound, many of whom use our trampoline. We also have a huge cross section of children, and the hoist has been vital in getting them onto the trampoline – something which most of them are unable to do outside of the Club.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RXFkjjvd4Y/VZ1D6QcymzI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/wcfkl9ECHQ8/s1600/Jade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Basingstoke Gymnastics Club - Trampoline Hoist" border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--RXFkjjvd4Y/VZ1D6QcymzI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/wcfkl9ECHQ8/s400/Jade.jpg" title="Jade with the Trampoline Hoist" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Jade is one such example. The 19-year-old has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, which has caused severe learning and physical disabilities, along with partial sight. Jade uses the hoist to access the, and according to Alexandra, it has helped tremendously with her movement skills: “Jade absolutely loves the trampoline as it gives her some freedom, sensation and feeling back in her muscles,” commented Alexandra. “She is unable to walk so the trampolining sessions have enabled her to have fun and be free as possible, stretching out all her muscles and get the feeling back in them. She has also met new people who she interacts with, which is excellent for her confidence and social skills.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QQWps2K2rh8/VZ1F-1vczFI/AAAAAAAAB10/tExYQQrzeKU/s1600/rebound-therapy-hoist-002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QQWps2K2rh8/VZ1F-1vczFI/AAAAAAAAB10/tExYQQrzeKU/s400/rebound-therapy-hoist-002.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
“Coming here once or twice a week gives users a new found independence, which they often cannot experience at home due to their levels of disability. We also use the hoist to lift members out of their wheelchairs and be placed on matting for additional therapy sessions. At 19, Jade is our youngest member – we also have people in their 40s and 50s using the hoist, which shows that people of all ages can benefit this type of equipment and exercise. They all love it!”<br />
<br />
Craig Dunnage of Dolphin Mobility explains that the hoist in question, the Handimove Victor hoist, is the most suitable hoist for use with trampolines and is highly favoured for rebound therapy: “It will comfortably lift a user from the ground onto a 1.1 metre high trampoline, and unlike many other hoists, will get the user onto the main bed of the trampoline. Because of its size and robust design, it is easy to push and will lift up to 225kg (35 stone) comfortably.”<br />
<br />
From a domestic perspective, Jason Miller, from Cambridgeshire, has seen the difference a tracked ceiling hoist has made after having one installed above his swimming pool and hot tub.<br />
<br />
Jason, 44, was left paralysed from the chest down after being knocked off his bike while on holiday in Portugal in 2012. Following initial treatment in Lisbon, Jason returned to England to receive further treatment. “It was while I was undergoing hydrotherapy that I realised how important it would be for me to continue this in my own pool when I returned home,” explained Jason.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I9tTihwfhWg/VZ1Ef97CKPI/AAAAAAAAB1g/dDYlRFlrew8/s1600/ceiling%2Bfixed-swimming-pool-hoist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jason Miller with his body support pool access system" border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I9tTihwfhWg/VZ1Ef97CKPI/AAAAAAAAB1g/dDYlRFlrew8/s400/ceiling%2Bfixed-swimming-pool-hoist.jpg" title="Swimming Pool Ceiling Hoist" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Jason realised he would require assistance getting in and out of the pool, and started researching hoist manufacturers: “I wanted a hoist that would not only be safe and comfortable, but also unobtrusive as there was limited poolside space,” he said.<br />
<br />
The hoist Jason opted for was the HandiMove HM2500 LRC ceiling hoist, a model with infrared hand controls and an electrolytically polished body support to enable self-hoisting, which allows the user to transfer safely and independently from bed to wheelchair, toilet, bath or in Jason’s case, into his swimming pool. Jason’s version of the model also features a membrane panel and has had a PCB treatment applied, for use in environments where water is present. The hoist is ergonomically designed without any loss of space, making it ideal for smaller areas or for domestic use.
Jason added: “The hoist has made a real difference to my day to day life as swimming and hydrotherapy sessions play a vital role in my ongoing treatment plan. From a personal point of view having the ability to hoist myself in and out of the water independently is just fantastic."<br />

<br />
<br />
“When speaking to clients, we always discuss all the equipment and hoisting options available as self hoisting may not be suited to everyone. We are always on hand to discuss the ease with which self-hoisting can be incorporated as part of a more independent lifestyle, even if it is with the partial aid of a family member or carer. With the latest technological advances, there is always a solution and it is our aim and the ethos of Dolphin Mobility, to ensure we leave every client with as high a level of independence and comfort as possible” explained Craig.<br />

<br />
<br />
Linda Dowdeswell is a great example of someone who is using the latest hoisting technology to self hoist throughout the home. Linda was diagnosed with a cluster of tumours on her spine whilst pregnant with her daughter in 1981. “As my condition has deteriorated we have carried out various adaptations to our home, from widening doorways to converting rooms and installing equipment,” she said. Despite her restricted mobility, Linda is one of a growing number of people who can ‘self hoist’ due to the latest advances in hoisting equipment - this means she can get herself in and out of bed, bathed and dressed independently. These daily activities would be impossible without the Handimove ceiling track hoist with body support system.<br />
<br />
Over the last 25 years, Dolphin Mobility has firmly established itself as a leading independent supplier of hoists and stairlifts in the UK. There are now 19 independently owned and operated Dolphin branches covering the UK and Ireland and most are family businesses, helping to add the personal touch so often missing from larger companies. Dolphin Mobility prides itself on being independent and represents many of the leading mobility and access equipment manufacturers including Stannah, Meditek, Handimove and Thyssen. However, as it is not aligned with one individual supplier, the company is in the unique position of being able to offer customers completely independent and impartial advice and quotations.

The Neptune works by means of a manually operated winch system and is very user friendly for the person being lifted as well as the operator of the lift. The lift is secured to the floor by the installation of an in-ground socket or surface mounted base plate.<br />

The two companies will be making their UK debut on stand B21 at the OT Show (Birmingham NEC November 26th and 27th).<br />
<br />
The Group represents many of the leading hoist and stairlift manufacturers and the Liko range is a great addition to its current portfolio, as Managing Director Craig Dunnage explained: “<a href="http://www.dolphinlifts.co.uk/hoists.html" target="_blank">Liko is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of overhead hoists</a>, with a superb reputation for quality and design and we are delighted to be announcing this agreement. At Dolphin we pride ourselves on only working with manufacturers that share our ethos of patient care and customer service, and this is certainly the case with the team at Liko”.<br />
<br />
Since 1979, Liko has built a reputation for offering superb hoisting solutions at a competitive price and its range of mobile, tracked and gantry hoists, which are extremely well thought of by healthcare professionals, will sit perfectly within the range of hoists available from Dolphin.<br />
<br />
“This agreement with Dolphin is great news for Liko. We are always looking to develop new partnerships and I believe that by working with Dolphin we are now in a position to offer our range of hoists to a wider audience of healthcare professionals and their patients” commented Damien McKeaveney, UK Sales and Marketing Manager, Liko Sales.<br />
<br />
Over the last 25 years, Dolphin Lifts Group has firmly established itself as a leading independent supplier of hoists and stairlifts in the UK. There are now 16 independently owned and operated Dolphin branches covering the UK and most are family businesses, helping to add the personal touch so often missing from larger companies. Dolphin Lifts Group prides itself on being independent and represents many of the leading mobility and access equipment manufacturers including Handicare, Handimove, Liko, Stannah and Thyssen. However, as it is not aligned with one individual supplier, the company is in the unique position of being able to offer customers completely independent and impartial advice and quotations. For more information and to find your nearest Dolphin Lifts Group branch visit <a href="http://www.dolphinlifts.co.uk/">www.dolphinlifts.co.uk</a> or call 0800 9800126.

However, in conjunction with Occupational Therapists, Dolphin Mobility is leading the way in taking this technology to a much wider audience.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_pEYpk5F95s/VDUtbEDvZKI/AAAAAAAABr0/39x04H0S98U/s1600/liko-freestand-gantry-hoist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Liko Freestand" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_pEYpk5F95s/VDUtbEDvZKI/AAAAAAAABr0/39x04H0S98U/s1600/liko-freestand-gantry-hoist.jpg" height="300" title="Liko Freestanding Gantry Hoist" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Trampolining and rebound therapy has long been recognised as playing a vital role in the ongoing treatment and rehabilitation of people with varying levels of disability, but this can often cause a manual handling issue. Basingstoke Gymnastics Club is a great example of a location that has benefitted from working with Dolphin Mobility on a hoisting solution for its disabled members as Alexandria Campbell, Head of Disabilities at the Club, explains: “We have around 70 adults on the register at Basingstoke Gymnastics Club with varying levels of disabilities, from mild to profound, many of whom use our trampoline. We also have a huge cross section of children, and the hoist has been vital in getting them onto the trampoline – something which most of them are unable to do outside of the Club.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3FaHArMa-lA/VDUxhmUL44I/AAAAAAAABr8/usdcGjRE_Ts/s1600/trampoline-hoist-rebound-therapy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Rebound Therapy approved trampoline hoist" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3FaHArMa-lA/VDUxhmUL44I/AAAAAAAABr8/usdcGjRE_Ts/s1600/trampoline-hoist-rebound-therapy.jpg" height="266" title="Trampoline Hoist" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Jade is one such example. The 19-year-old has cerebral palsy and epilepsy, which has caused severe learning and physical disabilities, along with partial sight. Jade uses the hoist to access the, and according to Alexandra, it has helped tremendously with her movement skills: “Jade absolutely loves the trampoline as it gives her some freedom, sensation and feeling back in her muscles,” commented Alexandra. “She is unable to walk so the trampolining sessions have enabled her to have fun and be free as possible, stretching out all her muscles and get the feeling back in them. She has also met new people who she interacts with, which is excellent for her confidence and social skills.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VSpbVNus0-U/VDUqnM-2irI/AAAAAAAABrY/Iz3RWFyPaME/s1600/Jade.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Basingstoke Gymanstics Club Trampoline Hoist" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VSpbVNus0-U/VDUqnM-2irI/AAAAAAAABrY/Iz3RWFyPaME/s1600/Jade.jpg" height="266" title="Trampoline Hoist Basingstoke Gymnastics" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
“Coming here once or twice a week gives users a newfound independence, which they often cannot experience at home due to their levels of disability. We also use the hoist to lift members out of their wheelchairs and be placed on matting for additional therapy sessions. At 19, Jade is our youngest member – we also have people in their 40s and 50s using the hoist, which shows that people of all ages can benefit this type of equipment and exercise. They all love it!”<br />
<br />
Craig Dunnage of Dolphin Mobility explains that the hoist in question, the Handimove Victor hoist, is the most suitable <a href="http://www.dolphinlifts.co.uk/Handi_Move_Victor_2600_Mobile_Hoist.html" target="_blank">hoist for use with trampolines</a> and is highly favoured for rebound therapy: “It will comfortably lift a user from the ground onto a 1.1 metre high trampoline, and unlike many other hoists, will get the user onto the main bed of the trampoline. Because of its size and robust design, it is easy to push and will lift up to 225kg (35 stone) comfortably.”<br />
<br />
From a domestic perspective, Jason Miller, from Cambridgeshire, has seen the difference a tracked ceiling hoist has made after having one installed above his swimming pool and hot tub.<br />
<br />
Jason, 44, was left paralysed from the chest down after being knocked off his bike while on holiday in Portugal in 2012. Following initial treatment in Lisbon, Jason returned to England to receive further treatment. “It was while I was undergoing hydrotherapy that I realised how important it would be for me to continue this in my own pool when I returned home,” explained Jason.<br />
<br />
Jason realised he would require assistance getting in and out of the pool, and started researching hoist manufacturers: “I wanted a hoist that would not only be safe and comfortable, but also unobtrusive as there was limited poolside space,” he said. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2blFFwG7Kdc/VDUrIUQqGjI/AAAAAAAABrg/e029qpJWoOQ/s1600/self-hoist-pool-access-therapy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2blFFwG7Kdc/VDUrIUQqGjI/AAAAAAAABrg/e029qpJWoOQ/s1600/self-hoist-pool-access-therapy.jpg" height="265" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The hoist Jason opted for was the <a href="http://www.dolphinlifts.co.uk/ceiling_mounted_pool_hoist.html" target="_blank">HandiMove HM2500 LRC ceiling hoist</a>, a model with infrared hand controls and an electrolytically polished body support to enable self-hoisting, which allows the user to transfer safely and independently from bed to wheelchair, toilet, bath or in Jason’s case, into his swimming pool. Jason’s version of the model also features a membrane panel and has had a PCB treatment applied, for use in environments where water is present. The hoist is ergonomically designed without any loss of space, making it ideal for smaller areas or for domestic use.<br />
<br />
Jason added: “The hoist has made a real difference to my day to day life as swimming and hydrotherapy sessions play a vital role in my ongoing treatment plan. From a personal point of view having the ability to hoist myself in and out of the water independently is just fantastic”.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3TOal9lsOd8/VDUzdFhoIeI/AAAAAAAABsM/EcCRFwOHl4c/s1600/ceiling%2Bfixed-swimming-pool-hoist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ceiling hoist for pool and spa access" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3TOal9lsOd8/VDUzdFhoIeI/AAAAAAAABsM/EcCRFwOHl4c/s1600/ceiling%2Bfixed-swimming-pool-hoist.jpg" height="265" title="Ceiling Fixed Pool Hoist" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
“When speaking to clients, we always discuss all the equipment and hoisting options available as self hoisting may not be suited to everyone. We are always on hand to discuss the ease with which self-hoisting can be incorporated as part of a more independent lifestyle, even if it is with the partial aid of a family member or carer. With the latest technological advances, there is always a solution and it is our aim and the ethos of Dolphin Mobility, to ensure we leave every client with as high a level of independence and comfort as possible” explained Craig.<br />
<br />
Linda Dowdeswell is a great example of someone who is using the latest hoisting technology to self hoist throughout the home. Linda was diagnosed with a cluster of tumours on her spine whilst pregnant with her daughter in 1981. “As my condition has deteriorated we have carried out various adaptations to our home, from widening doorways to converting rooms and installing equipment,” she said. Despite her restricted mobility, Linda is one of a growing number of people who can ‘self hoist’ due to the latest advances in hoisting equipment - this means she can get herself in and out of bed, bathed and dressed independently. These daily activities would be impossible without the Handimove ceiling track hoist with body support system.<br />
