Disabled Access Hoist for Hot Tubs

14 year old Joel Tucker is now able to enjoy hydrotherapy sessions at home following the installation of a Handi-Move wall hoist supplied by Dolphin Lifts.

Joel now uses the hot tub at least twice a week and his legs have strengthened considerably since he started using it.

There are two versions of the wall lift which are suitable for aiding access to a bath or hot tub as well as a mains only version which can only be used indoors. 

The lift can be mains powered, with an emergency battery back up, using a transformer to make it safe to operate in wet areas. If the hot tub isn't close to a power supply a battery only powered wall lift is also available.

The Handimove wall hoist has been designed for use in confined spaces such as around a hot tub where tracked or mobile hoists are unsuitable. It is also often used inside the home if there are low ceilings or if fixings can't be made overhead.

The wall lift is controlled via a waterproof hand control, making it completely safe for use in an environment where there may be water.

The telescopic arm of the hoist can extend the radius of its arc from 900mm to 1300mm (354” to 512”) which ensures the user can be easily transferred from their chair. There is also an extension bracket available if a longer reach is required.

Poolpod Pool Lift

The Poolpod is a submersible platform lift which enables people with restricted mobility to safely access public swimming pools.

The lift can be retrofitted to existing pools and is an increasingly common choice for new build projects.

Poolpod can be used standing up or with the custom designed submersible wheelchair which locks onto the platform when the lift is in use.

The lift can be operated independently by the swimmer or by a pool attendant or carer using the Poolpod Remote Control. 

Wristbands are provided to users to enable them to control all movements of the Poolpod by placing the band against one of the illuminated buttons. They work using an embedded chip which is recognised by the Poolpod buttons when it is held within 5 cm and they are 100% waterproof.

Visit our website to find out more about Poolpod and our other pool access products or call us free in the UK on 0800 9800 126. For overseas enquiries call 01276 856060.
