Step Lifts

Short rise vertical platform lifts, also known as low rise step lifts, are often the only viable solution to provide disabled access to properties with a short run of stairs. Used in many public buildings and domestic properties, step lifts are highly configurable according to site demands, and can be built to blend in with existing surroundings if aesthetics are a priority.

These pictures show a recent domestic installation completed by Dolphin. The lift is a low rise step lift manufactured by Wessex Medical. Step Lift prices vary according to site demands and building requirements, most lifts for domestic properties tend to cost between £5000 and £7000.

Body Support System for Hoists

The Handi-Move body support system is a quick and easy alternative transfer device to conventional slings. It can be used for independent transfers and also greatly increases productivity for carers as they benefit from the increased speed of transfer in comparison to using slings. The body support is compatible with all Handi-Move ceiling hoists, pool hoists, mobile hoists and wall lifts.

As authorised UK distributors of Handi-Move products Dolphin can supply, install and maintain their entire range of hoists. We also have demonstration units available should you need to try before you buy. For more information please call us on 0800 9800 126 or 01276 856060.
