Petition: Accommodation should provide information for disabled guests
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20195
Responsible department: Department for Culture, Media and Sport
At the moment finding information about access or accessibility at accommodation for disabled visitors in Britain can be a lottery. Information about access is often not obvious on accommodation websites or is non-existent. There are good examples of Access Statement templates offered for example by VisitEngland, but these are not used effectively by all accommodation providers. I would like all tourism accommodation providers to provide sufficient details and to use key search words to give disabled people the opportunity to make informed decisions about which places meet their needs. This should include images for disabled visitors who do not use or understand the English language. I would like the government to consider how all accommodation providers could be encouraged to provide information. If you agree with me, please support this campaign and share with others. Thank you.
You can sign the online petition here.

Gantry Hoists for the Disabled
There are many types of portable gantry hoists on the market, here is a selection of our preferred systems, which can be seen in more detail on the portable hoist page of our website.
The Easytrack FS is our most popular gantry hoist, used in conjunction with the V3 portable and Voyager portable hoist motors, the tracking has a safe working capacity of 200kg, which is exceptional for a portable gantry system.
If the portability of the gantry is the most important factor then the Travel Track may be the most suitable system. The track folds up into a wheeled travel case and is probably the easiest hoist to erect, dismantle and transport.
The portable nature of the Travel Track reduces the load capacity, which is limited to 130 kg, and it is important to bear this in mind before you buy. The V3 and Voyager portable hoists can also be used with this gantry system.
If you would like to speak to someone about gantry hoists, you can call Dolphin Lifts on 0800 9800 126.

The Wall Lift has a telescopic arm which can increase the radius of its arc from 900-1300mm. The arm folds flat to the wall, taking up minimal space when not in use. It can cover an area similar to a 2m length of ceiling track.
For more information and pricing please call us free on 0800 9800 126 or visit the Dolphin Mobility Hoists website.

Travel Track Gantry for Portable Hoists
This compact and portable travel track gantry system is simple to use, transport and store. Perfect for taking on holiday, it also provides an ideal solution for people requiring short term lifting/transfer assistance, or as an interim system whilst awaiting the installation of a fixed gantry.
The carry case opens out to reveal four telescopic legs and a gantry track that is compatible with most portable hoist units. Dolphin tend to use the V3 hoist or the Voyager Portable Hoist.
Each leg extends and is locked into place by means of a robust handle that clicks the lock into position. Peace of mind is provided by the clear visual indicator - if you can see the red section of the lock it is not engaged. The easy grip handles have been designed to make locking and unlocking the legs quick and simple.
The only installation necessary is the pulling out of the telescopic legs, the track is already fixed in place.
When it is no longer needed the legs are simply folded back into the case and the case in turn is folded back to its closed position. The Travel Track can then be stored until it is needed again.
For more information on the Travel Track and other transportable hoists please call Dolphin on 0800 9800 126 or visit the Dolphin Lifts website.

Arjo Pool Lifts
Arjo have recently been informing their clients that they will no longer be supplying pool lift products. If you have a swimming pool project which was intending to use an Arjo pool lift you may wish to consider an alternative lift supplied by Dolphin Mobility.
The Oxford Dipper pool lift is a popular alternative. The Dipper can be used with a spreader bar and sling or the ranger transporter chair. It requires a socket based installation similar to the Arjo pool lift products which means the Dipper is usually a viable option when replacing Arjo lifts.
Dolphin's entire range of swimming pool hoisting equipment can be viewed on the pool lifts section of our website.
